Filter by:The primary aim of this study was to compare patients-rated evaluation and caregiver's assessment of dyspnea with the standard tools in pulmonology unit (Borg scale and visual analog scale) and the secondary aim was to performed an analysis depending on the diseases (lung cancer vs. other lung diseases) and to verify the agreement between the evaluation between both visual analog scale and modified Borg scale.
The purpose of this study is to find out if an investigational combination drug called Lovaza (made with fish oils)+Curcumin C3 Complex (made from a root called curcumin) can help reduce the size of lung nodules. Researchers also want to find out if the combination of Lovaza+Curcumin C3 Complex is safe and tolerable.
In patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) with inconsistent clinical and radiological features, establishing a reliable diagnosis of ILD requires a surgical lung biopsy Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a minimally invasive, rapid, safe technique, and with histologic diagnostic yields, for ILD, typically exceeding 70 -80% . The aim of this study is to compare and analyze the diagnostic yield, for ILD, and complications following SLB and TC Methods. The investigators designed a descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional study in patients with ILD, in which SLB and CT will be performed in the same surgical stage, as diagnostic tests. This study will be conducted from January 2018 to January 2019. Surgical lung biopsy and TC will be performed in the same surgical stage in all patients, under general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. First TC will be performed by a pulmonologist, sequentially a thoracic surgeon will carry out a SLB. The samples obtained will be analyzed by different pathologist to compare both techniques in terms of histologic features. Diagnostic yield, postoperative complications, comorbidities and lenght of stay will be analyzed and compared following these procedures.
In this follow-up trial, MRI and CT images of the lung will be acquired prospectively in a subcohort of 370 patients, three years after they successfully participated in the first COSYCONET subtrial with CT and MRI ("MR-COPD I", NCT (clinical.Trials.gov identifier) 02629432). The objective is to obtain longitudinal data from a well-characterized collective of COPD patients in order to identify suitable image-based biomarkers to improve the prognosis of disease progression of COPD in comparison to clinical tests
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single doses of BTZ043 in healthy adult volunteers. The study is conducted at a study centre in Germany. Up to 50 male and female participants will be included in this study in up to 5 cohorts; each cohort will consist of 10 subjects: in each cohort 8 subjects will be assigned to BTZ-043 and 2 to placebo. The doses tested will be: 125mg, 250mg, 500mg, 1000mg and 2000mg. Safety will be assessed via regular vital sign measurement, 12-lead ECG parameters, physical examination and safety laboratory assessments. Subjects will be hospitalized from Day -1 until discharge in the morning of Day 3. After completion of all Day 3 assessments of a cohort, blinded safety data will be reviewed and the next dose increment will be decided by the Trial Steering Committee (TSC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Fixed Combination of Beclomethasone Dipropionate + Formoterol Fumarate + Glycopyrronium Bromide Administered Via Dry Powder Inhaler in COPD
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on nocturnal hypoventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are on long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) at home.
A prospective, multicenter study including a cross-section validation to define sensitivity and specificity of CAPTURE to identify previously undiagnosed patients with clinically significant Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and its impact on clinical care across a broad range of primary care settings in a cluster randomized controlled clinical trial.
A prospective multi-center study to define the sensitivity and specificity of CAPTURE for identifying previously undiagnosed patients with clinically significant COPD in a broad range of primary care settings.
The overall objective of this study is to determine the impact early nutritional and respiratory indices have on early CF lung disease. This knowledge will guide clinical management of infants with CF, who are now primarily diagnosed through newborn screening.
