Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blinded, Phase I dose escalation-deescalation protocol (DEP) of cyclosporine inhalation solution in patients with Gold Stage III chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of aerosolized Cyclosporine in treating COPD. The specific aims of the study are: 1. To identify the short term (28 day) safety profile of CyIS immunotherapy in severe COPD (GOLD III) patients with particular attention to airway reactivity and infection risk. 2. To identify the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of CyIS using peripheral blood markers of an adaptive immune response as endpoints in subjects with severe COPD (GOLD III) treated short-term. Subjects between 45 and 70 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of COPD, Gold Stage III, and meet all the study requirements, will be enrolled in this study. A total of 24 subjects of either sex will be enrolled in this study. A total of 4 subject cohorts (n=6) will participate in the protocol.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the dose-response profile of peak and trough FEV1 after single dose administrations of carmoterol in patients with COPD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of single doses of therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of inhaled CHF 4226 pMDI on ventricular repolarization in healthy subjects compared with placebo.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the systemic exposure and pharmacodynamics of two doses of nebulized fluticasone/formoterol combination as compared to the monocomponents.
The overall purpose of PA-SCOPE is to determine why black and rural residents of Pennsylvania might be at higher risk for deadly, debilitating, and costly hospitalizations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)— and then to show that repeat acute exacerbations in high-risk patients can be reduced with one simple intervention. We believe that 1) COPD patients who are black or who live in rural areas of Pennsylvania are at higher risk of acute exacerbations requiring hospitalization and 2) this elevated risk can be reduced with one simple intervention: access to a 1-800 Temple Call Center where patients can get immediate customized advice on managing COPD exacerbations in their early stages. We will test these beliefs in PA-SCOPE. The collaborators with Temple University Hospital on the PA-SCOPE project are Lancaster General Hospital, Western Pennsylvania Hospital, and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The purpose of this study is to ensure the quality of the COPD treatment in primary care by implementing planned follow-up visits, where the disease condition is evaluated and optimised in accordance with the national COPD recommendations. If relevant the general practitioner (GP) will refer patients to COPD rehabilitation conducted by relevant municipality rehabilitation teams. Secondarily the purpose is to improve collaboration and communication between the local hospital pulmonologist, GPs and the municipality rehabilitation team
The purpose of this study is to study histological changes, cellularity, clinical efficacy and safety of AZD1981 in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The goal of this research is to determine the utility of Regadenoson (Lexiscan)for use as an imaging agent with cardiac MR. If found useful, it will help us establish a protocol for regadenoson stress MR perfusion (Regadenoson stress test with cardiac MR).The investigators will compare regadenoson with dobutamine so each participant will undergo two studies. A cardiac MR stress test with regadenoson and with dobutamine. The investigators participants will include patients with history of COPD and Asthma, so it will also help us determine feasibility of Regadenoson in these patient's subgroups.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of AZD1236 compared with placebo ("inactive substance") in COPD patients by analysing biomarkers for inflammation and tissue degradation in blood, urine and sputum.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the tolerability and safety of AZD 1236 compared with placebo ("inactive substance") in COPD patients by assessment of Adverse Events, vital signs and laboratory safety assessments.
