Filter by:This study in patients suffering of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) aims to investigate whether telemonitoring of their non invasive ventilation (NIV) device together with targeted, tailored intervention in case of increasing symptoms or ventilation abnormalities improves the therapy adherence and effectiveness and can reduce the need for hospitalizations.
Although high-intensity training (HIIT) is widely used in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the optimal duration of intervals in terms of patient tolerability and fidelity is unknown.Thus, we will examine the fidelity and tolerability of the two most commonly used HIIT protocols, the classical so-called 4x4min vs. 10x1min in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
The current literature suggests that the mode of action of benralizumab is to deplete eosinophils through a mechanism of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. This direct cellular cytotoxicity may not explain all of the benralizumab effects. The investigators propose a set of studies to systematically examine the spectrum of effects of this drug on the immune system.
This study is a device study that will use a double-arm. It will integrate the ANNE ONE platform which continuously tracks enrolled COPD patients' vital signs and symptoms over the course of the study and digitally shares that data with providers for clinical interpretation, potential intervention and treatment decision making and will help evaluate the impact on participating patient's COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores. Subjects will be recruited from Emory clinics and identified via a data pull based on clinical relevant codes. Letters will be sent out to eligible candidates and interested participants will contact the research team. The research team will consent them over the phone and mail the device to them; participants will be compensated.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period cross-over study of nebulized ensifentrine (3 mg) or placebo administered BID for two 8-week Treatment Periods. All participants with receive both ensifentrine and placebo during participation. There are 7 in-clinic visits over a total duration of up to 24 weeks participation.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading and rising causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most important etiopathogenetic agent is smoking. However, air-pollution probably also plays a crucial role in the disease development, progression and exacerbations. The multimodal-telemedicine approach may provide a useful tool in the patient follow-up with the aim to reduce disease exacerbation rate and improve the health-related quality of life. The study aims to investigate the effects and utility of advanced telemonitoring in elderly COPD patients. All data will be integrated in a single web-based platform in order to analyse the mutual effects of different conditions and variables.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of automated oxygen administration (FreeO2 system) alone or with high-flow oxygen on dyspnea and exercise tolerance in people with desaturating chronic lung disease compared to fixed oxygen therapy.
In this study, asthma and COPD patients will be invited to participate after the consultation with their pulmonologist. The intervention consists of three steps. The first step is to perform a deep inspiration. The second step is to demonstrate the correct use of a pMDI. The third step is to perform a strong inspiration into the In-Check Dial device over 5 different resistances.
Sleep is a fundamental period in life. In a previous work, the investigators have shown that COPD patients presented on the EEG figures found in patients with chronic pain: Alpha-Delta. The link between dyspnea and pain is very strong and this Alpha-Delta could, in these COPD patients, be the witness of nocturnal dyspnea. Although it is not possible in a non-awake patient to evaluate reliably the dyspnea, sleep offers us a window on the emotions and the feeling of the patient: Dreams. A few studies have shown the link between breathing and dreaming, but none of them has focused on nocturnal dyspnea. Our working hypothesis is that respiratory abnormalities in COPD patients are responsible for nocturnal dyspnea, which is reflected in the content of these patients' dreams.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of PBF-680 on the chronic inflammation and the lung function of patients with COPD on top of the standard medication. The effects of PBF-680 administration will also be examined with regards to symptom improvement and safety measures.One oral dose of PBF-680 or placebo will be administered daily for 4 weeks after randomization. The treatments will be administered double-blind with the Investigator and patient unaware of the treatment identity. A total of 102 COPD patients, either male or female, aged 40 to 80 years (inclusive) will be randomized.
