Filter by:A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group, 28-Week Chronic Dosing, Multi-Center Long-term Extension Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy in Japanese Subjects with Moderate to Very Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared with Symbicort® Turbohaler®
This is a Phase 3B, 12-week, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the relationship between as-needed usage of albuterol eMDPI and Clinical Exacerbation-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (CE-COPD) in adult participants at least 40 years of age with exacerbation-prone COPD.
The overall objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of GP MDI relative to placebo in Japanese subjects with moderate to severe COPD. Each subject received the 4 separate study treatments, scheduled as four, 7-day, treatment periods for a total treatment duration of 28 days.
Investigators will compare the factors affecting the adherence to the outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program in COPD patients
The Nutrition Study of the GA2LEN Follow-Survey was designed to investigate the association between usual dietary intake and allergic and respiratory outcomes in adults across Europe. Within this framework, a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was designed to ascertain usual dietary intake of 250 food items, which was translated into the languages of the participant centres. Information on daily intake of foods, nutrients, and flavonoids was derived.
This is a Phase I open-label, single center study to assess the PK and safety of BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 µg in subjects with moderate to severe COPD. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed following a single dose administration on the first treatment day (Day 1) and will be assessed again after 7 days of repeat dosing. This study includes a Screening Period of up to 28 days and a single Treatment Period of 8 days. A follow-up phone call will be conducted at least 5 days but no longer than 7 days after the last dose of study drug.
Respiratory rehabilitation (RR) has been shown to provide benefits in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with a degree of evidence A. These benefits are primarily focused on an increase in the capacity of effort for activities of daily living and in an improvement in the quality of life related to health (HRQOL) a constant to the RR critique is the fact that the benefits achieved with programmes are lost in a progressive and constant way once the patient completes the treatment and lost contact with the team. The introduction of new technologies in different fields of medicine has been a new approach when it comes to the management of various diseases and treatments in chronic patients. In the case of the RR telemedicine provides a new tool. COPD disease very prevalent and chronic it is generator of a high economic cost. The possibility of universalizing the rehabilitation treatment would involve a potential savings in this population group ,another potential benefit is as translational trial as part of the development of a new technology and its possible application to clinical practice. General objective: to determine whether a program of TeleRehabilitation (TeleRR)- Respiratory Rehabilitation Maintenance (RRm) after an intensive initial program of RR, is a useful intervention against the current usual strategy (intensive program of RR and a recommendation of not protected maintenance program). Method: clinical trial , open, randomized, multicenter, parallel group, and focus of superiority with a strategy of Telerehabilitation program respiratory of maintenance after an intensive RR for 8 weeks in patients diagnosed with grade moderately - severe stable COPD (Bode 3-7).
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is a systemic disease which includes pulmonary, cardiac, muscular, digestive and cognitive impairments. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a symptomatic treatment to reduce dyspnea and functional incapacity. However, it effects on cognitive dysfunction are not well known. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program on cognitive dysfunction in patients with severe to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment tool.
This is intended to be an initial "proof-of-concept" study to show feasibility, validate assays and approaches, and explore dosing and safety of belimumab in pulmonary emphysema patients who have clinically relevant (and quantifiable) autoimmune responses. The primary goal is to determine effects of belimumab on levels of autoantibodies against glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) among patients with pulmonary emphysema attributable to cigarette smoking. The investigators hypothesize that belimumab treatment will safely reduce circulating levels of autoantibodies that are associated with emphysema, and comorbidities of this lung disease, including atherosclerosis.
Aim: To investigate whether patients with pulmonary hypertension have reduced absorption capacity compared to COPD patients without cor pulmonale potentially due to venous obstruction in the portal vein system. The presence of cor pulmonale was determined by echocardiography. The concentration of D-xylose and zinc were measured in peripheral blood one, two and three hours after ingestion and used as markers of absorption. Furthermore, urine was collected for five hours to determine the amount of excreted D-xylose.
