Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of 4-week treatment with 7.5 mg b.i.d, 15 mg q.d and 15 mg b.i.d. BIBW 2948 BS and placebo on cough and sputum as determined by the CASA-Q (Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire
Evidence in animals shows that losartan can prevent or reverse inflammation and lung damage due to smoking. The goal of this study is to determine whether this drug which is also used to treat hypertension can stabilize or improve lung function in people who have from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The objective of the present study is to establish the safety and efficacy of multiple administrations of Prochymal™(ex-vivo cultured human adult mesenchymal stem cells) in participants with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The primary objective is to comparatively evaluate the isolated effects of a long-acting beta2-adrenergic (formoterol fumarate 12µg b.i.d. via Aeroliser) and combined with a long-acting anti-cholinergic (tiotropium bromide 18µg o.d via Handihaler) on breathlessness, dynamic hyperinflation and exercise tolerance in patients with advanced, but stable, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study hypothesis is that combining long acting bronchodilators with different action mechanisms would promote synergistic effects on clinical outcomes.
A study to assess the safety and efficacy of moxifloxacin compared to that of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for the treatment of subjects with acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.
This study compared the clinical efficacy and safety of azithromycin with that of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, in patients between the ages of 35 and 75 years, presenting with an exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.
To compare the efficacy of a 5-day course of clarithromycin extended-release tablets (2 x 500 mg QD) with that of a 7-day course of clarithromycin immediate-release tablets (1 x 500 mg BID) in the treatment of acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.
This study was performed to confirm that a single 2.0-g dose of azithromycin SR is at least as effective as 7 days of levofloxacin 500 mg/day in adults with acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis Secondary objectives: To assess safety and the bacteriologic efficacy of both treatment regimens
to assess the effect of Heliox with Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation to decrease dyspnea and improve physiologic and respiratory measures in patients with a previous exposure to Sulfur Mustard gas.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of nebulized formoterol fumarate (Perforomist) to dry-powder inhaler formoterol fumarate (Foradil). Perforomist is a solution that is made into very fine spray (using a nebulizer) that is then breathed in over 10-15 minutes. Foradil is taken in a single quick, deep inhalation.
