Filter by:This study is being conducted to see if PRX-08066 can lower pulmonary artery pressures in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This clinical study is designed to explore dose ranging and identify methods to demonstrate the efficacy of Erdosteine in patients with stable Chronic Bronchitis associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ramelteon has respiratory depressant effects in subjects with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of roflumilast on pulmonary function and symptomatic parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during concomitant administration of salmeterol. The study duration will last up to 28 weeks. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of roflumilast.
Treatment with systemic corticosteroids for acute exacerbations of COPD results in the improvement of clinical outcomes. The optimal route of administration has not been rigorously studied in COPD. Upon hospitalization, corticosteroids are administered intravenously in many hospitals. Oral administration is more convenient, though, because there is no need for intravenous access, less personnel is required for starting and monitoring therapy, and material costs are smaller. The investigators hypothesized that oral administration is not inferior to intravenous administration of prednisolone in the treatment of patients hospitalized for an acute exacerbation of COPD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the concomitant treatment of formoterol fumarate with tiotropium bromide compared to treatment with tiotropium bromide alone.
This will be a prospective randomized double-blinded parallel group clinical trial evaluating the short-term effects of theophylline therapy on exercise duration and lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease already receiving both tiotropium and a long-acting beta-agonist (salmeterol or formoterol).
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that have frequent chest infections are the patients most likely to become worse over time. Why these people are more susceptible to chest infections is not known. One reason might be that the white cells in their lungs called macrophages do not work properly. Normally, these cells remove all the debris inhaled into the lung. This can also include bacteria. In patients with COPD, these macrophages are not able to remove these particles. The research question addresses why this happens
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of roflumilast on exacerbation rate and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Roflumilast will be administered orally once daily in the morning at one dose level. The study duration will be up to 56 weeks. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of roflumilast. For additional information (for US patients only) see www.COPDSTUDY.net or dial 866-788-2673 (toll free).
