Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the combination of ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50mcg (FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE/SALMETEROL COMBINATION PRODUCT) plus SPIRIVA HANDIHALER 18mcg (TIOTROPIUM)compared to SPIRIVA HANDIHALER 18mcg (TIOTROPIUM) in patients with COPD.
This study will look at the pharmacokinetics, safety, toleration and efficacy of PF-00610355 in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) population. The doses in this study are intended to explore the anticipated clinical dose range.
GW642444 and GSK233705 are in development for treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Development of these two inhaled drugs as a combination therapy would have potential for improved patient benefit as they both work through different mechanisms and the combined bronchodilatory effect might be additive. This study will look at the this combination, for the first time, in healthy Japanese subjects.
This primary objective of this study is to compare two doses of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler once daily to placebo in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This primary objective of this study is to compare two doses of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler once daily to placebo in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The safety of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered through the Respimat inhaler will also be compared to placebo.
Main objectives: - To know the distribution of risk elements of traffic injuries Secondary objectives: - To study the distribution of risk elements related with the possibility of suffering from a TI in relation to medication, chronic health problems, and consumption of psychoactive substances (alcohol and others). - To know the relation between levels of perception of risk of suffering from a TI and the presence of chronic problems, medications, or consumption of psychoactive substances.
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, an pelvic organ of men. Prostatitis can cause great discomfort which varies but can include pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, a vague sense of discomfort, a feeling of malaise and fatigue, fever, burning on urination, pain on reaching orgasm, and bleeding. In many men the symptoms of prostatitis can be chronic. It is estimated that in the United States chronic prostatitis is responsible for as many as two million doctor visits a year. The disease can be ruinous, interfering with work, intimacy, and other things. The causes of chronic prostatitis are not understood. The treatments commonly used, including antibiotics and prostate massage, work poorly. We now have evidence that laparoscopic prostatectomy can eliminate the misery of chronic prostatitis. This trial aims to quantify and better characterize the effect of laparoscopic prostatectomy on the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a medication therapy management program designed to reconcile a patient's medications and identify and resolve drug related problems can reduce adverse drug events and other measures of safety and improve patient satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to ensure the quality of the COPD treatment in primary care by implementing planned follow-up visits, where the disease condition is evaluated and optimised in accordance with the national COPD recommendations. If relevant the general practitioner (GP) will refer patients to COPD rehabilitation conducted by relevant municipality rehabilitation teams. Secondarily the purpose is to improve collaboration and communication between the local hospital pulmonologist, GPs and the municipality rehabilitation team
Emphysema, a common type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a long-term lung disease that is usually caused by cigarette smoking. This study will examine both current smokers and former smokers who have emphysema, as well as current and former smokers who do not have emphysema, to determine if certain factors found in the blood are related to the risk of developing emphysema.
