Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

Recruitment of a carefully characterized cohort of chILD patients, to generate a database and biobank via collecting data on chILD in China. Importantly, compatibility with ongoing United States and Europe chILD data base developments will be factored in.

This study will be the first administration of CCI15106 capsules for inhalation to humans. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of single and repeat escalating doses of CCI15106 in healthy subjects and patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The intention of this study is to provide sufficient confidence in the safety of the molecule delivered by inhalation to inform progression to further repeat dose and proof of concept studies. This will be a three-part study. Part 1 will investigate single ascending doses and Part 2 repeat ascending doses in healthy subjects. In Part 3, a single dose will be administered to patients with moderate COPD. There will be screening period of up to 30 days. The treatment period will be 3 days for Parts 1 and 3 and 16 days for Part 2. Follow-up will be performed within 30 days after the last dose.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of inhaled treprostinil compared to placebo in improving exercise ability as measured by change from baseline in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) following 12 weeks of active treatment in participants with PH-COPD.

Patients with cystic fibrosis frequently develop chronic rhinosinusitis. Bacterial colonization is facilitated by a reduced mucociliary function and some previous studies suggest that the microbiology of the upper airways might influence the microbiology of the lower airway. The aim of this randomized control study is to demonstrate efficacy of antibiotic delivered by nebulized sonic aerosol therapy to decrease the bacterial load in sinuses and medium ostia and to improve the sino-nasal symptoms and endoscopic scores, quality of life and lung function

The morbidity rate of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing year by year. It is predicted to be the third leading cause of death worldwide in 2030. People with COPD have a high risk of needing a ventilator due to the decline of lung function, the increase of secretions, the dysfunction of airway clearance, and the obstruction and loss of alveolar elasticity.

Study design: A prospective cohort study with a longitudinal design, with several parameters measured serially at baseline and at pre-specified time points during three to five years of clinical observation. Primary objective: To validate quantitative analysis of lung sounds as a marker of disease progression in a cohort of patients with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) via correlation with the extent of fibrosis on HRCT, measured both via visual scoring and quantitative CT assessment, and other validated parameters of disease progression such as FVC, tolerance to exercise and patient-related outcomes (symptoms and quality of life). Secondary objectives: To determine the prognostic value of quantitative analysis of lung sounds and a series of novel putative biological markers, obtained from peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage, toward poor outcomes (death, categorical decline of % predicted FVC >10%, acute exacerbation or respiratory-related hospitalisations) as compared to more conventional clinical, physiology and radiologic measurements.

To elucidate the similarities and distinctions in non-pulmonary manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF) including distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) incidence and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) use between US and UK CF populations in a parallel study using data from the UK and US CF registries. To assess how CFTR modulators impacted upon recorded PERT use and incidence of DIOS.

The aim of the present study is to investigate whether additional titration on surface electromyography (EMG) of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles improves the outcome of chronic non-invasive ventilation in patients with COPD and stable chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure in terms of better gas exchange after six weeks, lung function, patient comfort and compliance, and less patient ventilator asynchrony. Therefore, the investigators set up a randomized, two-armed crossover trial comparing regular titration with additional respiratory EMG titration of NIV.

In this study the efficacy of Roflumilast in addition to LAMA/LABA therapy will be assessed using Functional Respiratory Imaging. In total 40 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stages C and D, who are stable on LABA/LAMA therapy and who are prone to dynamics hyperinflation will be included in this study. To indicate the susceptibility to dynamics hyperinflation patients should have a baseline Borg Fatigue score after the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) above 4. The patients will be randomized in such a way that 1 out of 2 patients will receive placebo and 1 the active component. Image parameters will be assessed and the correlation with lung function and health related quality of life will be checked before and after treatment.

This is a multicenter, open-label trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) including combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The study will include about 266 patients who completed all required assessments in the RIN-PH-201 study at approximately 100 clinical trial centers. The study will continue Your participation in this study is voluntary and will last until you discontinue from the study or the study ends. The study will continue until each subject reaches the Week 108 visit or until inhaled treprostinil become commercially available for patients with PH associated with ILD including CPFE (whichever is sooner).
