Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

The aim of this study is to determine whether an intervention with frequent thermotherapy will be able to reduce the amount of colonizing bacteria in the bronchoalveolar lavage sample and eradicate the colonizing bacteria.

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.

This study is an exploratory, two-part, 12-week, Phase 2a study to evaluate the mechanism of action of Itepekimab (anti-IL-33-mAb) and its impact on airway inflammation in former and current smokers with COPD, aged 40 to 70 years. This study consists of participants who have been on a standard-of-care (SoC) mono (long-acting β2-agonist [LABA]) or long-acting muscarinic antagonist [LAMA]), double (inhaled corticosteroid [ICS] + LABA, LABA + LAMA or ICS + LAMA), or triple (ICS + LABA + LAMA) controller therapy for COPD for at least 3 months prior to Screening (Visit 1) with stable dose and regimen for controller therapy for ≥1 month prior to Screening (Visit 1) and during the screening period. Participants will stay on their established controller medications for COPD throughout the duration of the study, with the exception of systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics used for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). The total study duration for each part (Part A and Part B) is approximately 36 weeks: 4-week screening period 12-week treatment period 20-week followup period

Study RIN-PF-303 is a multinational study designed to evaluate the superiority of inhaled treprostinil against placebo for the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to Week 52.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ARO-RAGE in normal healthy volunteers (NHVs) and in participants with inflammatory lung disease (asthma, cystic fibrosis [CF]). In Part 1 of the study, NHVs will receive a single dose of ARO-RAGE or placebo. In Part 2 of the study, adult participants with inflammatory lung disease will receive 2 doses of ARO-RAGE or placebo. Additional NHVs may be randomized to receive 1 or 2 doses of ARO-RAGE or placebo at Sponsor discretion. Dose levels in Part 2 will be determined based on cumulative safety and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary manifestation of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). The overall 5-year mortality is 50%. The prognosis is poor and the treatment is challenging.At present, according to the consensus of IIM-ILD experts, glucocorticoids as first-line treatment are often used in high doses and have a variety of adverse reactions. Previous studies have shown that cyclophosphamide (CYC) is effective for IIM-ILD and tends to be used in rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease（RP-ILD）or refractory ILD. However, CYC is an alkylating agent with many toxic and side effects. It is prone to gonadal inhibition, infection, tumor, hemorrhagic cystitis and other risks. At present, Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been widly used in the treatment of IIM, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV). The observational research on MMF in the treatment of IIM-ILD shows that it can delay the progress of pulmonary fibrosis and can be used as the first-line treatment of IIM-ILD. Moreover, immune tolerance caused by defects in the number and/or quality of regulatory T cells (Treg) is considered to be a key source of autoimmune diseases. However, it is unclear whether MMF can improve the immune status of IIM-ILD by increasing Treg cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of MMF for IIM-ILD and its effcts on Treg through a prospective open single arm study, and provide a theoretical basis for the individualized treatment of IIM-ILD, which has important clinical significance.

This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of escalating doses of Amitriptyline and Duloxetine in reducing cough frequency in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD)-related cough.

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.

It will be a randomized control trial. Participants will be recruited according to inclusion criteria and will be allocated into 2 groups using convenience sampling technique. Group 1 will be treated with percussion technique for 30 min and group 2 with blow bottle technique combined with percussion technique for 30 min at DHQ Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. Intervention will be carried out for total 4 weeks of duration with 3 sessions per week. Outcome measures such as dyspnea, breathlessness, sputum and cough, O2 and pulse rate, expiratory flow rate will be measured by tools as mMRC, BCSS, peak flow meter respectively. Assessment will be done before and after intervention and result will be analyzed using statistical package for social sciences SPSS 20.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Leflunomide in Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: The efficacy and safety of Leflunomide in Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis The mechanism of leflunomide in treating Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis Participants will be treated with leflunomide plus stroid. A comparison group: Researchers will compare the control group treated with stroid to see if the efficacy of Leflunomide would be better than control group.
