Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

Batefenterol inhalation powder is currently under development as a fixed-dose combination with fluticasone furoate (FF) for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The present study will administer batefenterol/FF (300/100 micrograms [mcg]) for the first time to subjects with COPD, to investigate the safety and tolerability of the combination compared with placebo, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics profiles of the individual components when administered in combination. This is a Phase IIa, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study. Subjects will be randomized (2:1) to one of the following double-blind treatment groups: Batefenterol/FF 300/100 mcg inhalation powder once daily, or matching placebo inhalation powder once daily. Subjects will self-administer the study treatments once daily (QD) in the morning for 42 days via a multi-dose dry powder inhaler (DPI) which contains two blister strips. Additionally, an inhaled short acting beta2-receptor agonist, albuterol will be provided from screening to the end of the treatment period for all subjects to use as needed to relieve COPD symptoms. At the end of the treatment period, subjects can resume conventional therapy. The study will randomize approximately 60 subjects. The total duration of subject participation (from screening to follow-up) will be approximately 8 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate specific alterations in immune cell mechanisms related to neutrophil function as detected by PI3Kdelta-dependent changes in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) extracted from induced sputum in patients experiencing an exacerbation of COPD, with or without treatment with GSK2269557. The efficacy of treatment with GSK2269557 will also be measured using functional respiratory imaging (FRI) and spirometry. This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. The study consisted of Screening Phase (up to 3 days prior to Day 1), Treatment Phase (Days 1 to 84) and Follow phase (7 to 14 days after last dose). The total duration of the study is 13-14 weeks including the screening visit. DISKUS TM and ELLIPTA TM are registered trademark of GSK group of companies.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study. The FF/VI inhalation powder once daily and VI inhalation powder once daily will be evaluated in subjects with COPD over 156 weeks. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the inhaled corticosteroid FF on bone mineral density assessed at the total hip by comparing FF/VI treatment with VI treatment in subjects with moderate COPD.

This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel, randomized, two-part, dose-confirming clinical study characterizing the pharmacodynamic effects of pulsed iNO using the combination product, inhaled nitric oxide/INOpulse DS-C vs. placebo in subjects with World Health Organization (WHO) Group 3 pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) on Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT).

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group trial evaluating mepolizumab 100 mg against placebo given every 4 weeks through subcutaneous (SC) injection. In severe COPD patients, sputum eosinophils levels are elevated similar as those seen in severe asthmatics. It is hypothesized that the reduction of eosinophils with mepolizumab in COPD patients would translate into a reduction of COPD exacerbations. The study will determine the reduction in exacerbations in subjects who are above and below the baseline blood eosinophil count of at least 150 cells/microlitres. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab on the frequency of moderate and severe exacerbations in COPD subjects at high risk of exacerbations, despite the use of optimized standard of care background therapy. Overall in this study, a total of 800 subjects will be randomised in 1:1 ratio to receive placebo or mepolizumab (100 milligram (mg)) administered SC. The total duration of this study will be approximately 62 weeks, consisting of a 1 to 2 week screening period, 52-week treatment period and 8-week follow-up period.

The project will test the hypothesis that lung ventilation during exercise is unaffected by oxygen supplementation. In addition, the acute effect of oxygen supplementation on dyspnoea, heart rate and blood pressure will be studied.

The primary objectives of the study are to explore the effect of treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol fixed dose combination with and without exercise training, and tiotropium comparing to placebo, on top of behavioural modification in improving exercise capacity in patients with COPD

The study is a multicenter, randomized, 2-period, open-label, two arm, cross-over study to show the superior effect of a 4 week treatment each with QVA149 versus tiotropium on lung function. Similarly, this study aims to evaluate patient preference after experiencing both treatment regimens in patients with a clinical diagnosis of COPD (GOLD 2013) and a moderate to severe airflow limitation who are symptomatic (defined as CAT score of at least 10) at screening despite being treated with tiotropium

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of XEN-D0501 over placebo in reducing the daytime cough frequency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The effectiveness of XEN-D0501 placebo in reducing capsaicin cough responses, objective 24-hour cough frequency, hourly change in cough frequency, cough severity (via visual analogue scale [VAS]), urge to cough (via VAS), global rating of change scale, Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ), Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C) will be evaluated.

This is a long-term safety trial of 48 weeks. Eligible subjects will enter the 48-week, open-label treatment period to receive one of two treatments (SUN-101 given as 50 mcg twice a day or Spiriva® [tiotropium] given as 18 mcg once a day).
