Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

Objectives of the study are to investigate the safety, tolerability and levels of ciprofloxacin in the lung after single and multiple inhalative administration to patients with mild to moderate COPD (stage I-II according to GOLD Criteria).

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy (effectiveness) and safety of aclidinium bromide doses as compared to placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study will be 16 weeks in duration; 2-week run-in period, 12-week double-blind treatment, and 2-week follow-up phone visit.

A study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NVA237 versus placebo in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Endorphins are released in response to breathing difficulty and can modify the perception of breathlessness. In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, resistive breathing loads are used to provoke breathlessness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The hypothesis of the study is that intravenous (IV) administration of naloxone, a medication which blocks endorphin activity, will increase the perception of breathlessness experienced by patients while breathing through a resistance device, compared with IV administration of normal saline.

The study will evaluate the dose response, safety, and pharmacokinetics of GSK573719 compared with placebo in subjects with COPD.

The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inhaled aclidinium bromide at two dose levels in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study will be 54 weeks in duration; a 52-week double-blind treatment period and 2 week follow-up phone call, following a 12 week lead-in study. All patients will be randomized from the lead-in study at one of two doses of aclidinium.

The objective of this clinical study is to determine the safety of intravenous MN-221 compared to placebo when administered in subjects diagnosed with stable moderate to severe COPD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period, incomplete-block crossover, dose-ranging study comparing 2 fixed dose combinations (FDCs) of aclidinium bromide with formoterol fumarate or with placebo, aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate, all administered twice a day (BID) in patients with stable, moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) beginning with a 2-week run-in period and with a 7-10 day washout each between treatment period.

Primary objective is to evaluate time to onset of effect of formoterol, 9 μg single dose,compared with salmeterol, 50 μg single dose, in patients with moderate COPD.Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured by spirometry 5 minutes postdose. Secondary efficacy variables: Average FEV1 during the first 15 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 15 minutes), Average FEV1 during 120 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 120 minutes)
