Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is an important event in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Compound sodium chlolate and aminophylline tablets are one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis.

Acute exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are a major source of morbidity and mortality for patients and cost to the society. In case of acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia and acidosis, Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) is preferred as a first line treatment. NIV failures are not uncommon, from 15% in intensive care to 25 - 30% in emergency departments. They most often occur at the start of the NIV or in the hours that follow. There are many reasons for these failure. Among these are; dyspnea, discomfort, the pain related to the exacerbation and also to the NIV are frequently noted. The use of certain drugs with anxiolytic, hypnotic and/or analgesic properties could also be useful. Some sedatives and opioids have already been studied in this indication but without a therapeutic trial and satisfactory methodology. Among the molecules of interest, Morphine seems interesting . It's administration could reduce the ventilatory rate, intensity of dyspnea, pain and anxiety as well as dynamic hyperinflation. The investigators believe that morphine administration will decrease the rate of early NIV failure by improving comfort (decreased dyspnea and pain) and ventilation (decreased respiratory rate and increase in tidal volume) in patients with exacerbations of COPD. However, before considering a randomized phase III efficacy study, it is necessary to determine the optimal dose of morphine in this indication, through a phase I/II dose-finding study taking into accounts both the efficacy and toxicity of morphine. The main objective of this study, is to determine the optimal dose of morphine administered at the initiation of NIV in patient with acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which is defined as the maximum gain function combining the probability of dose-limiting toxicity with PaCO2.Therefore, the impact of morphine administration on the physiological parameters of NIV- COPD exacerbation patients will be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to compare CHF 5993 with CHF 1535 in improving lung function, reducing moderate and severe COPD exacerbations, and other clinical efficacy and safety outcomes in the target subject population.

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of administering this combination of interventions (CMT plus PR) to Veterans with moderate COPD within the context of a hospital-based outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of TRELEGY ELLIPTA on health status in participants with symptomatic COPD. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of TRELEGY ELLIPTA on dyspnea and lung function in participants with symptomatic COPD.

It is planned to enroll 495 acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, and they will be randomly assigned to the high-dose test group, normal dose test group or control group at a ratio of 1:1:1, with 165 patients in each group. The course of treatment is 90 days, and the total follow-up time is one year. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different doses of bacterial lysates (Staphylococcus and Neisseria Tablets) in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease, that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs that causes persistent obstructive airflow limitation. Acute exacerbation, especially frequent exacerbation, is associated with an increased risk of death in COPD patients. The most common causes of acute attacks are viral and bacterial infections. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of sitafloxacin, a quinolone antibacterial drug, in participants with AECOPD.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of CHF6001 (Tanimilast), as add-on to maintenance triple therapy in the target patient population.

The Pulmair Implantable Artificial Bronchus (IAB) is a device intended for implantation into the diseased bronchi of emphysema patients. The IAB is indicated for bronchoscopic treatment of adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)/emphysema to relieve hyperinflation and allow bidirectional ventilation of the affected lobes. The objective of this trial is to demonstrate a suitable benefit/risk profile to support a subsequent trial of the safety and effectiveness of the IAB to achieve its intended purpose. The trial will enroll 24 subjects implanted with IAB(s), at no more than three study centers.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a real time video telehealth pulmonary rehabilitation intervention with standard of care in patients hospitalized for an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to determine the impact on hospital readmissions and respiratory morbidity, and to investigate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
