Filter by:Patients with a respiratory disease are at higher risk of poor outcomes due to worsening of symptoms caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and other respiratory infections. New therapies are needed for treating high risk patients at early stages of an infection. This study will assess the safety, tolerability and feasibility of using an inhaled nitric oxide generating solution, RESP301, as a self-administered treatment following flare-up of symptoms. RESP301 is a liquid solution which produces nitric oxide in the lungs when inhaled using a nebuliser. The components of RESP301 are already used in clinical practice and inhaled nitric oxide is used as a treatment for newborns and patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In a laboratory setting, RESP301 has been shown to be effective against respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. This study will first determine the maximum tolerated dose of RESP301 in up to 48 adult patients with COPD or bronchiectasis in the United Kingdom (UK) (Part 1a; Dose Finding Phase). Once the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) has been determined in Part 1a, a cohort of 8 patients will be recruited and RESP301 administered at the MTD but these patients will in addition receive a single dose of a short acting bronchodilator 10 minutes preceding administration of RESP301. After completion of Part 1, approximately 150 patients will be recruited into Part 2 of the trial (Expansion Phase). A minimum of 50 participants will receive a test dose of RESP301 during a screening visit. Response to the test dose will be monitored. Participants who tolerate the test dose will continue in the study and should contact the study team if they experience exacerbation symptoms in the next 52 weeks. Following a call with the site team to discuss symptoms, participants will receive RESP301 delivered to their home to self-administer for 7 days. The study duration for each participant will be at most 57 weeks, including the study visit and monthly calls. Participants who start the course of study treatment, will receive daily calls during the treatment period and will also be followed up after they complete the treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether potentiating the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) with QBW251 in patients with bronchiectasis will demonstrate clinical safety and efficacy related to improved mucociliary clearance with reduced bacterial colonization as potential drivers of airway obstruction, reduced airway inflammation, exacerbations and mucus load, improved lung function, clinical symptoms and quality of life to support further development in bronchiectasis.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing formoterol-beclometason 12/200 mcg BID versus placebo to evaluate the clinical effect on coughing in patients with non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis, native to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and no history of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
The purpose of this study is to assess if there is decrease in cough during flexible bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound when different modes of lidocaine administration are used. The modes of administration being evaluated are topical, nebulized and atomized.
This study tests the effects of an experimental drug PC945 in people with asthma or other chronic respiratory diseases whose lungs are infected by Aspergillus fungi and Candida yeasts. PC945 may be useful in treating patients infected with Aspergillus as, unlike the usual treatments, it is inhaled into the lung and has been designed to stay there and treat the infection. Participants will continue to receive their usual treatment for their chronic respiratory disease. Half of the participants will receive PC945 and half will receive a placebo. The amount of fungus and yeast in the patients' phlegm will be measured over the course of the study. The study will take place at multiple sites in UK and will include approximately 46 participants. The maximum study duration will be about 16 weeks.
The primary objective of the trial was to investigate the effect of the use of inhaled colistimethate sodium (CMS), administered twice a day (b.i.d.) via a specific nebulizer for 12 months, compared to placebo in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) chronically infected with P. aeruginosa on the annualised frequency of pulmonary exacerbations.
This is a prospective, randomized multi-center trial investigating the impact of lower airway infection with P. aeruginosa in COPD patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate if targeted antibiotic therapy against P. aeruginosa can improve the prognosis in patients with COPD. non-CF bronchiectasis (BE) and asthma.
Bronchiectasis is defined as abnormal chronic dilatation of one or more bronchi. Patients have a structural abnormality of the bronchial wall that predisposes them to bacterial infection likely due to impaired mucus clearance. A vicious cycle of chest infections and chronic lung inflammation can lead to further damage of the bronchial wall and spread of disease to normal areas of bystander lung.
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) affect the airways and other structures of the lungs and thereby lead to ventilation inhomogeneity. The most common CRDs in children are asthma, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis (CF). All three are obstructive diseases. However, while asthma is mostly characterized by obstruction due to bronchoconstriction of the airways, obstruction in bronchiectasis and CF originates primarily from mucus retention due to abnormal airway clearance mechanisms. The Nitrogen Multiple Breath Washout test (N2-MBW-test) is a robust and sensitive detector of early pulmonary changes and ventilation inhomogeneity. The minimal cooperation which is required for this test makes it very convenient for use in any age category. Research on LCI described it as a reliable indicator of obstructive lung disease in pediatric CF patients as from 6 years of age. Whether LCI is a reliable parameter for early lung disease in asthma children is less clearly demonstrated. No data were found on LCI calculated from the N2-MBW-test in children with bronchiectasis.
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of Hypothiocyanite (OSCN-), bovine lactoferrin (bLF) and their combination (ALX-009) in healthy male volunteers and patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis (NCFBE).
