Effect of Pulmonary Telerehabilitation and Telemonitoring for Patients With Chronic Respiratory...

COPDInterstitial Lung Disease

This research study is being conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using technology to deliver a remote home exercise program and assess the health outcomes of patients with chronic lung diseases. Specific objectives are to assess the interventions on patients: 1) Lung function, 2) Dyspnea, 3) Fatigue, 4) Exercise capacity, 5) Self-efficacy, and 6) Health-related quality of life. The investigators will also be evaluating the practicality of using videoconferencing and commercial wearable telemonitoring devices (ie. smart watches) for the implementation of the intervention in this group of patients.

COVID-19SARS-CoV-2 Acute Respiratory Disease

This Phase IIb clinical study aims to compare the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of recombinant protein RBD fusion dimer vaccine as a heterologous booster (to subjects who have received the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) COVID-19 vaccine at least 182 days prior to the booster dose in this study) versus a homologous booster (subjects who received the second dose of the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine at least 182 days prior to the booster dose in this study) will receive a third dose of the Comirnaty vaccine). The extension part of the study aims to compare the immunogenicity and safety of a fourth dose of PHH-1V in subjects with a primovaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) COVID-19 vaccine plus either a booster dose of Comirnaty or PHH-1V versus those with three vaccinations of Comirnaty.

Telerehabilitation Program Via Videoconference PAH - Randomized Clinical Trial

Pulmonary Arterial HypertensionCardiovascular Diseases4 more

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious, progressive disease that causes pulmonary arterial pressure, significantly affecting functional capacity and quality of life. Over the last few years, knowledge in pulmonary hypertension has evolved consistently and significantly. New diagnostic and treatment algorithms were combined based on the results of several clinical studies that showed the usefulness of new tools, as well as the effectiveness of new drugs as well as non-pharmacological treatment. The new guidelines felt the benefits of physical exercise in individuals with PAH, with promising results in improving symptoms, exercise capacity, peripheral muscle function and quality of life. With the COVID 19 pandemic, the complex scenario was for world health, and social distancing made it impossible to carry out individual outpatient rehabilitation, in groups and in person, indicating the need for rehabilitation programs, including physical training, to be adapted to the domicile. New alternative modes of pulmonary rehabilitation include home-based models and the use of telehealth. Telerehabilitation is the provision of rehabilitation services at a distance, using information and communication technologies. To date, there has been no evaluation of the clinical efficacy or safety of telerehabilitation in the population affected by PAH.

Role of IL-5R Signaling in Non-eosinophil Upper Airway Cells in CRSwNP

Nasal PolypsAspirin-exacerbated Respiratory Disease

The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that IL-5 acts on multiple sinus tissue cell types, including plasma cells and epithelial cells, to promote immune dysregulation, and that inhibition of IL-5 affects several relevant effector pathways that lead to clinical benefit.

Digital App for Telerehabilitation in Respiratory Diseases

Respiratory DiseaseAsthma5 more

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and the mid-term effects of a pulmonary rehabilitation intervention, delivered by digital App, on quality of life of patients affected by respiratory diseases. The App will include a monitored exercise training program based on most recent cardiopulmonary rehabilitation guidelines, including alerts, reminders and educational contents as well as chat and online visits with healthcare professionals to improve patient engagement.

Azithromycin and Oesophageal Function in Respiratory Disease

CoughAsthma2 more

Symptoms such as cough, wheeze, and breathlessness are among the most common reasons for general practitioner or emergency department visits in the UK. Such symptoms have a profound impact on patients' ability to live a fulfilled life, often rendering people unable to work and socialise. Azithromycin (a type of antibiotic) improves symptoms and reduces flare-ups of diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The reason why it works is unclear. Many people believe that it either decreases the number of bacteria in the lungs or reduces inflammation in the lungs and the upper airways. Neither theory is proven. Another possible mechanism that has been much less studied is that Azithromycin encourages the body to move food and fluid through the gut more quickly, thus preventing reflux and aspiration of small food particles and stomach acid. It has been shown that lung damage can occur when gut contents enter the airways, which may contribute chronic lung disease patients' symptoms In this study the investigators will test the effect of azithromycin on the gut in patients with chronic lung diseases. The investigators will measure the strength of a patients swallow by measuring the pressures in their gullet, using high-resolution oesophageal manometry (HROM), before and after treatment, in people being started on azithromycin as part of their routine care. The investigators will also measure the effect that azithromycin has on their symptoms and observe whether there is a relationship between the strength of their swallow and their symptoms. At the end of this study, the investigators hope to better understand the way in which azithromycin helps to improve the symptoms of patients with chronic lung diseases. The investigators also hope to open the door to investigate the effect of other drugs that improve gut function in patients with chronic lung diseases.

Cohort for Research and Innovation in Chronic Inflammatory Respiratory Diseases

Chronic Inflammatory Pulmonary Diseases

Chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung diseases (ILD), bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by lung inflammation and remodelling. Clinical, functional, microbiological, biological, pathological and prognosis features are highly variable and heterogeneous. A precise phenotyping is a key-element to better understanding the pathophysiology of these chronic inflammatory diseases and to develop innovative treatment strategies. The objectives of this prospective study is to analyze the clinical, demographic, biological, morphological, pathological, and microbiological characteristics in a cohort of patients diagnosed with COPD, ILD, bronchiectasis, and CF. The associations between clinical, demographic, biological, morphological, pathological, and microbiological features will be assessed. The Cohort for Research and Innovation in Chronic Inflammatory Respiratory Diseases (the RINNOPARI Project: Recherche et Innovation en Pathologie Respiratoire Inflammatoire) is a monocentric study conducted at the University Hospital of Reims, France. Adult patients (>18 year-old) followed at the University Hospital of Reims and diagnosed with COPD, ILD, bronchiectasis, or CF will be considered for inclusion. Patients will sign an informed consent for inclusion. Exclusion criteria include "subjects protected by the law" as required by the French authorities. Control patients with no respiratory diseases after clinical and pulmonary function tests assessment will be also included. The expected number of patients included is 225 (COPD, n=100; CF, n=25; bronchiectasis, n=25; ILD, n=25; controls, n=50). Inclusion will be conducted for 36 months from September 2016 (9/30/2016) to September 2019 (9/30/2019). For all COPD, ILD, bronchiectasis, and CF patients included, data will be registered at inclusion, and at follow-up visits for 10 years. Patients will be followed-up as usual care with no specific therapeutic intervention. For control patients, data will be registered at inclusion with no follow-up. Data will be registered in a centralized anonymized database. The characteristics of the patients will be described as mean and standard deviation for quantitative data and as number and percentages for qualitative data. Comparisons and associations between groups and variables will be analyzed by Student, Wilcoxon, Chi2, Fischer exact, and Spearman tests as applicable. A p<0.05 will be considered as significant. This study should help to better characterize clinical, demographic, biological, morphological, pathological, and microbiological characteristics and phenotypes in chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases.
