Filter by:This is a single cohort, prospective post approval study conducted on patients with COPD in Canada. The study will enroll patients that have not responded to their current treatment of tiotropium alone, or who are on the fixed dose combinations fluticasone propionate/salmeterol. Only patients for whom the physician has decided to change treatment due to lack of efficacy will be eligible to be enrolled in the study. Also will evaluate the real-life effectiveness of QVA149 (indacaterol 110 mcg/glycopyrronium 50 mcg) in the management of patients.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ，the fourth leading cause of death in the world, represents an important public health challenge. It is also a major cause of chronic morbidity, mortality and disability throughout the world, leading to a heavy social and economic burden. For a long time, treatment of COPD mainly focus on drug therapy. Recently, pulmonary rehabilitation is recognized as a core component of the management of individuals with chronic respiratory disease, which has been clearly demonstrated to reduce dyspnea, increase exercise capacity, and improve quality of life. Exercise training, widely regarded as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation , is one of the best available means of improving muscle function in COPD.The most commonly form is cycle training. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) as an adjunct to exercise training has an additional benefit on inspiratory muscle strength, endurance and exercise capacity in patient with COPD. There is insufficient evidence demonstrate greater benefits from combined inspiratory muscle training and cycle training. This study will evaluate the effects of combined inspiratory muscle training and cycle training in patients with COPD.
Insufficient energy intake and systematic inflammation lead to malnutrition in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Nutritional supplementation improves the patients'nutritional status by increasing energy intake and providing anti-inflammatory elements，which can relieve the patients' symptoms and delay the disease progression.
This is a Phase IIb, randomized, double blind, chronic dosing (28 days), four period, five treatment, incomplete block, crossover design in subjects with moderate to severe COPD. The overall objective is to demonstrate that the combination of budesonide (BD; PT008) and formoterol fumarate (FF; PT005) in a metered-dose inhaler (MDI); (BFF MDI; PT009) provides benefit on lung function compared with BD MDI in subjects with moderate to severe COPD.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether flutiform® is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Open clinical trial with 1 year follow up comparing the impact of an Early Respiratory Rehabilitation program with the conventional Respiratory Rehabilitation in COPD re-admitted patients. Outcomes will be exacerbations, symptoms, functional capacity and quality of life related to health (HRQOL).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHF 5259 (glycopyrrolate bromide) for the treatment of COPD patients.
The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of patients selected for treatment with roflumilast and the effectiveness and safety of roflumilast in patients with severe or very severe COPD treated in Hospital and outpatient specialist ward settings in Greece.
The improvement in inspiratory muscle function might result in beneficial changes in breathing pattern during whole body exercise. The hypothesis is the effect of inspiratory muscle training as an adjunct to a pulmonary rehabilitation program improves the breathing pattern during an incremental cycle exercise.
The purpose of the study is to examine the hypothesis test that probiotics will reduce the frequency of exacerbation in patients with COPD.
