Active clinical trials for "Respiration Disorders"

The study is aimed to assess safety of Depelestat treatment, as well as efficacy on prevention and treatment of alveolar inflammation in early pulmonary fibrosis in patients suffering from persistent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

This study is being conducted in two parts, A and B. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, parallel arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LYT-100 compared to placebo in adults with post-acute COVID-19 respiratory complications. Part B is an Open Label Extension (OLE) study for patients who complete Part A.

The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether lemborexant increases the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) on Day 8 of treatment in adult and elderly participants (adults greater than or equal to [>=] 45 to less than [<] 65 years; elderly >=65 to 90 years) with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared with placebo, and using pulse oximetry determine whether lemborexant decreases the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) during total sleep time (TST) on Day 8 of treatment in adult and elderly participants (adults >=45 to <65 years; elderly >=65 to 90 years) with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with placebo.

This pilot study will evaluate study processes and feasibility of a future large-scale clinical trial that proposes to test whether low-risk children managed as outpatients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels <0.25 ng/mL treated with placebo have a similar clinical response to those treated with antibiotics and fewer adverse effects.

Pulmonary mechanics are further disturbed after cardiothoracic surgery that manifests like restrictive pathology, which may persist for weeks to months postoperatively. This experimental aimed to investigate the efficacy of a positive end-expiratory pressure device on maximum expiratory pressure, maximum voluntary ventilation, and dyspnea index in patients who underwent valve surgery.

Ventilator hyperinflation (VHI) has been shown to be effective in improving respiratory mechanics, secretion removal, and gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients; however, the literature is scarce concerning its safety and adverse effects. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare the hemodynamic repercussions of VHI in volume-controlled mode. In a randomized, controlled and crossover design, 24 mechanically ventilated patients will undergo 2 modes of ventilator hyperinflation (with and without an inspiratory pause) and a control intervention. Cardiac output, cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, systolic volume and other hemodynamic variables will be recorded during the interventions.

The primary objective is to determine the clinical benefit of employing the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine among US military trainees. Secondary objectives include: determining the etiology of clinical pneumonia among U.S. military trainees; comparing the serotype distribution of S. pneumoniae (Sp) isolates recovered from vaccinated and nonvaccinated trainees diagnosed with pneumonia; and comparing days lost from training due to pneumonia or acute respiratory disease for vaccinated and nonvaccinated subjects.

This study is designed to estimate the bioavailability of montelukast from the 5 milligrams (mg) montelukast sodium (GW483100) test formulations relative to 5 mg montelukast sodium reference chewable tablets (innovator product). It is an open-label, randomized, single dose, three-way cross over, six sequence study in 18 healthy human subjects. Each subject will participate in all three treatment periods. Subjects will be randomized to one of six sequences and administered one of the three treatments A, B or C in each treatment period, where Treatment A is 5mg chewable tablet of reference 5 mg montelukast sodium reference chewable tablets (innovator product), Treatment B is test formulation 1: 5mg montelukast sodium (GW483100) chewable tablet and Treatment C is test formulation 2: 5mg montelukast sodium (GW483100) chewable tablet. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period of 7 to 14 days. Total duration in the study for each subject will be approximately 8 weeks from screening to the follow-up visit.

This will be a 3 part study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and repeat doses of GSK2862277 administered via inhalation (IH) or intravenous (IV) routes in healthy subjects. Part 1 of this study will involve an initial assessment of safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK286227, via single escalating intravenous doses, compared to a predecessor molecule, GSK1995057. After completion of Part 1 an interim data review will occur which will assess key comparability criteria to inform progression to Part 2 of the study. Part 2 of the study will involve single doses of GSK2862277 at a level predicted to be at or close to therapeutic dose levels. Part 2 will investigate both intravenous and inhaled routes of administration, in sequential manner, respectively. An interim data review will also occur after completion of Part 2, where all data accumulated previously will be assessed to examine appropriateness to progress to Part 3. Part 3 of the study will involve 5 days of repeat dosing via both inhaled and intravenous routes using the same dose administered in Part 2.

Ventilator hyperinflation (VHI) has been shown to be effective in improving respiratory mechanics, secretion removal, and gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients; however, there are no recommendations on the best ventilator settings to perform the technique. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare six modes of VHI, concerning physiological markers of efficacy and safety criteria, in order to support the optimal VHI settings selection for mechanically ventilated patients. In a randomized, controlled and crossover study, 30 mechanically ventilated patients underwent 6 modes of ventilator hyperinflation. The maximum expansion (tidal volume), expiratory flow bias criteria (inspiratory and expiratory flow patterns), overdistension (alveolar pressure), asynchronies and hemodynamic variables (mean arterial pressure and heart rate) were assessed during the interventions.
