Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in participants with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) who cannot be classified with moderate or high confidence into any other category of fibrosing ILD by multidisciplinary team (MDT) review ("unclassifiable" ILD).
Little is known about bronchoalveolar lavages performed for cytological assessment during bronchial fibroscopy in critically ill patients. Frequency of use, indications, actual contribution to diagnosis and therapeutic decision, and complications have not been extensively assessed. The primary objective of this multi center, prospective, observational study is to describe the frequency of use of bronchoalveolar lavages for cytological assessement in critically ill patients, identify their indications, assess their contribution to diagnosis and therapeutic decisions, and estimate the frequency of induced respiratory events.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study to compare once daily nebulized Revefenacin with Spiriva once daily delivered via the HandiHaler® on lung function in subjects with COPD and a Low Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate.
This study is evaluating the use of a respiratory device, the Acapella Vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) Therapy device, in patients admitted to the hospital with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a kind of chronic bronchitis or emphysema with characteristics of long-term poor airflow, resulting in chronic pulmonary heart disease, chronic respiratory failure or even death. Anatomically, the pulmonary bronchus structures in COPD patients are damaged and cannot be repaired by recent clinical treatment so far. This study intends to carry out an open, single-armed, phase I/II clinical trial to investigate whether bronchial basal cells can regenerate damaged lung tissue. During the treatment, bronchial basal cells will be isolated from patients' own bronchi and expanded in vitro. After careful characterization, cultured cells will be transplanted autologously into the lesion by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The safety and efficacy of the treatment will be monitored by measuring the key clinical indicators.
Patients with severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and low oxygen levels in the blood are at risk of developing pulmonary hypertension and strain on the right side of the heart, both of which are known to increase symptoms and worsen prognosis It is not fully established whether interval exercise training in patients with severe COPD and concomitant low oxygen levels is beneficial. This study aims to evaluate the effects of aerobic interval exercise training in patients with severe COPD and low oxygen levels in the blood, with a particular emphasis on such effects on the cardiovascular system and pulmonary circulation.
To associate a lean mass, peripheral muscle strength, kinematic thoracic-abdominal, respiratory metabolic response, mobility and diaphragmatic thickness, verifying its relation with the obstruction level of COPD
The main objective will be to determine the effectiveness of home non-invasive ventilation by flow-time and time-pressure curves analysis in a cohort of patients with this treatment by digital diagnosis platform.
The study is a Phase 2 Study to establish the safety and efficacy of a drug called Ivacaftor (VX-770) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and acquired CFTR dysfunction as detected by sweat chloride analysis. The design is a pilot, randomized (3:1, active:placebo), double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Approximately 40 subjects with COPD will be randomized.
This is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center, phase 2 Study to evaluate SHR-1210(anti-PD-1 antibody) in in adult Chinese patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who failed or progressed to prior first-line systemic treatment. Enrolled subjects will be assigned to 4 cohorts on the basis of PD-L1 expression in tumor cells(<1%, ≥1%-25%, ≥25%-50%, ≥50%) all will be treated with the standard SHR-1210 dose (200mg) , Q2W, until documented progressive disease (PD) occurs. Subjects will return to the clinic once every two weeks. Radiographic disease assessments will be performed every 6 weeks. The primary study hypothesis is that treatment with SHR-1210 improves Objective Response Rate when compare with standard second-line therapy, no matter how much PD-L1 expression in tumor.
