Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases"

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow obstruction, which is clinically manifested by dyspnea and leads the patient to a vicious cycle of sedentary lifestyle. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an important therapeutic strategy to break this cycle. Cardiovascular diseases are frequent in patients with (COPD) and are associated with higher mortality. The effects of (PR) on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with (COPD) have been little studied so far. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation compared to the control group on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with (COPD). Methods: A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. Patients with (COPD) will be divided into two groups: Group I (GI): group that will be rehabilitated, with 3 weekly sessions, for 8 weeks and Group II (GII): control group, without intervention. In both groups, a baseline evaluation will be performed, which will be repeated after 9 weeks and consists of: clinical and laboratory parameters, endothelial function (FMD) and brachial ankle index (ABI). Outcomes commonly used in the assistance to assess (PR) will also be measured. Expected Results: The study is expected to improve understanding of the impact of (PR) on cardiovascular variables in patients with (COPD).

A randomized controlled trial in which icing and airflow stimulation for reduction of dyspnea in patients of obstructive lung disease was done which is characterized as condition of infection described by constant improvement of perpetual constraint of flow of air that is partially reversible and incorporates chronic bronchitis, emphysema and small airway diseases . The tools used were RR, Spirometry, Saturation, Borg Scale, MRC scale, shuttle walk test and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (St.GRQ) score. Pulse oximeter measured the saturation levels and respiratory rates were alse observed. Borg scale measured rate of perceived exertion ranges from 6(easy physical activity) and 20(worst activity) and MRC measure dyspnea levels. In St.GRQ score between 1 to 8 is symptoms related and 9 to 17 was activity related.Literature review indicate that icing and airflow stimulation reduce dyspnea in patients of obstructive lung diseases.

The primary objective is to compare the incidence of gastrointestinal AEs in patients treated with IPF, initiating pirfenidone for the first time, according to the type of diet (MUFA vs SFA). Gastrointestinal AEs rates between study groups will be evaluated during the first 16 weeks of pirfenidone treatment.

SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody. This is a randomized,Phase III, multicenter ,open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 with carboplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin-pemetrexed in subjects who are chemotherapy naive and have Stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC. The primary hypothesis is that SHR-1210 combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed prolongs Progression Free Survival (PFS) in per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review (ITT population and population was indicated by high PD-L1 expression) compared to carboplatin and pemetrexed treatment .

AZD8871 is a new chemical entity possessing long-acting dual-pharmacology (muscarinic receptor antagonist and β2 adrenoceptor agonist [MABA]) in a single molecule. This type of agent presents a novel approach to the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and potentially asthma (in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid). AZD8871 is being developed for inhalation, formulated with alpha lactose monohydrate and delivered by dry powder inhaler (DPI) that allows delivery of a single dose of the study drug. The primary objective is to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD8871 at steady state in healthy male Japanese subjects.

This is a phase IIIb randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multicentre, parallel group, 24 week study to assess the efficacy and safety of Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate (GFF) fixed-dose combination 7.2/4.8 μg 2 inhalations twice daily compared to Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (UV) 62.5/25 μg fixed-dose combination 1 inhalation once daily in Patients with moderate to very severe COPD.

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most severe form of respiratory failure, presented in 10% of all intensive care patients and carrying a high mortality rate. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue treatment for patients with severe ARDS. Mechanical ventilator settings in patients with severe ARDS during ECMO therapy are not clearly defined at the moment.

A phase 2, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the effect of tezepelumab on airway inflammation in adults with inadequately controlled asthma.

This single and repeat increasing dose study will collect information on safety, tolerability and drug levels in the body of the CCI15106 inhalation powder. The study will also look at the level of CCI15106 that will be released into the air and may be found in the blood of the people standing around the person inhaling it (bystanders). This is a two-part study in which Part 1 will enroll healthy subjects and look at environmental and bystander exposure and Part 2 will enroll subjects with moderate COPD. Approximately 36 healthy subjects and approximately 22 subjects with COPD will be randomized in this study for dosing. The total study duration will be 82 days for Cohort A Part 1; 75 days for Cohort B Part 1 and Cohort C Part 1; 77 days for Cohort A Part 2; and 90 days for Cohort B Part 2.

We aimed to compare the functional results of the 8th week with the results of the 12th week of the exercise programs applied to the patients with ILD.
