The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate with sufficient precision and according to gender the determining independent factors of quality of life related to respiratory status of patient with moderate to severe COPD.
This study is aimed to determine factors leading to obstructive granulation tissue formation after placement of Self-Expandable Metallic Stent (SEMS) in patients with benign tracheal diseases.
A study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NVA237 versus placebo in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The main purpose of this study is to assess the long term bronchodilator efficacy, safety and tolerability of inhaled aclidinium bromide at two dose levels compared to placebo in COPD patients and the benefits of the product in disease-related health status, COPD symptoms and COPD exacerbations.
This study compared the effects of a single dose of indacaterol with that of a single dose of tiotropium on inspiratory capacity.
Different medications are often used in combination for the condition COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Some medicines act by opening the airways (bronchodilators) and some act as anti-inflammatories (steroids). More recently an approach of using a combination inhaler (containing a steroid and a long-acting bronchodilator) at the same time as a long acting bronchodilator of a different group of medicines (anti-cholinergics inhalers) has been used. This approach is sometimes called 'triple therapy'. Studies which have looked at these combinations usually use only standard blowing tests (spirometry) to test these medicines and focus on the effects of the medicines at their highest (peak) levels. It is some ways more relevant to study these medicines towards to end of the dose period (trough)- just before the next dose. This is when there is less medicine in the system, and differences in drug effects are more obvious. There are also more detailed breathing tests than spirometry which get a more detailed picture of the way the lungs respond to bronchodilator medicines. The investigators have studied 'triple therapy' in COPD, by measuring the effects at the end of the dosing interval (trough) using a range of detailed respiratory tests.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major worldwide problem.Steroids inhalers are now an established treatment for COPD. Inhaled steroids can have a number of bad effects including suppression of the adrenal glands because of absorption. A previous study in patients with COPD. C-reactive Protein (CRP) is a peptide produced in the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated circulating levels of CRP are associated with heart conditions. High levels of CRP have also been found in patients with COPD. In some studies, steroid inhalers have reduced CRP levels, and that of other inflammatory mediators, in patients with COPD. It is unknown whether this reflects a reduction in lung inflammation or an effect of systemically absorbed corticosteroid. It is proposed to investigate the link between inhaled corticosteroid and serum CRP, lung inflammation (measured by exhaled nitric oxide) and systemic absorption of steroids.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of administering repeated doses of CTX-100 (formerly ETX-100) to subjects with smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
