Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the FSC HFA MDI in subjects with COPD. The dose of FSC HFA MDI to be evaluated corresponds to the dose of FSC DISKUS (250/50mcg twice-daily) that is indicated for the treatment of COPD associated with chronic bronchitis in the US. This study will last up to approximately 15 weeks, and subjects will visit the clinic 5 times. Subjects will be given breathing tests and will record their peak expiratory flow measurements daily on diary cards. All study related medicines and medical examinations will be provided at no cost. The FSC HFA MDI used in this study has been approved by FDA for use in asthma while the FSC 250/50mcg DISKUS has been approved for use in asthma and COPD.
The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with AZD4818 for four weeks is tolerable, safe and effective in treating COPD and, if so, how it compares with placebo.
The purpose of this study is to show the efficacy and safety of formoterol for the maintenance treatment of patients with COPD compared with placebo in patients in Japan and in European countries during 12 weeks.
Background: Smoking cessation is the key element in the treatment of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The role of the general practice in assisting these patients with successful quitting smoking was suboptimal. Therefore we evaluated the effectiveness of two smoking cessation programs (counseling and nicotine replacement) for smokers with COPD in routine general practice, one with (CNB) and one without (CN) the combination with bupropion-SR, compared to usual care (UC) and explored the role of COPD symptoms in successful smoking cessation. Method: RCT with 667 patients with COPD, 68 general practices were randomly allocated. The usual care group (UC) consisted of 148 patients (22 practices), the first intervention group (counseling plus nicotine replacement (CN) of 243 patients (21 practices) and the second intervention group of 276 patients (25 practices. Main outcome measure was (biochemically verified) point prevalence.
The study seeks to determine the optimal dose of the Aclidinium/Formoterol combination for investigation in Phase III clinical trials
The usual treatment for obstructive airway disease (OAD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) , which is related to graft versus host disease (GVHD), consists of intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
The purpose of this study is to monitor the change in the health status of severe COPD patients after the initiation of Tiotropium therapy. This will be assessed by the physician`s global evaluation of the patient`s health status on a 8-point scale. This measure has been shown to correlate with a established standard measure of the patients health related quality of life. The primary analysis in this trial will only include patients not pre-treated with a long-acting beta-agonist to establish a clear efficacy signal in this patient population. As the reality of COPD treatment nowadays is poly-pharmacy, a secondary analysis will analyse patients who are pretreated with long-acting bronchodilators to put the changes in the health status in a likely real world context. In parallel to these evaluations of the health status, the lung function response of the patients will be assessed to gain an established objective measure of treatment response.
This study was designed to provide 12 weeks efficacy and safety data of the 150 μg once-daily (od) dose of indacaterol in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study was conducted to provide detailed information on the efficacy of indacaterol in terms of its effect on spirometry assessed forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) over a 24 hour time period.
This study compared the effect of indacaterol (300 μg once daily [od]) on exercise endurance with that of placebo in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
