Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the lung deposition and distribution pattern of Beclometasone dipropionate/Formoterol Fumarate/Glycopyrronium Bromide using a Gamma-scintigraphic technique after inhalation of a single dose of 99mTc radiolabelled CHF 5993 Administered via pMDI in healthy volunteers, asthmatic and COPD patients.
GSK2269557 is a potent and highly selective inhaled Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K) delta inhibitor being developed as an anti-inflammatory and anti-infective agent for the treatment of inflammatory airway diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and repeat doses of GSK2269557 administered via the ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler (DPI) to healthy Japanese subjects. This is the first time for Japanese subjects that GSK2269557 will be administered via the ELLIPTA DPI with the addition of magnesium stearate. In each group of this study, subjects will receive a single dose of either GSK2269557 or placebo in Session 1 and receive daily dose of GSK2269557 or placebo for 10 days in Session 2. Session 1 of the next dose strength may be run in parallel with the Session 2 of the previous dose. The doses planned for the study are 200 micrograms (mcg), 500 mcg and 700 mcg. There will be at least 10 days washout between the two dosing sessions. Follow up period will start 10 days (+-1 day) after the last dose of Session 2. A total number of 36 subjects will be enrolled for the study with 27 subjects receiving a dose strength of GSK2269557 and 9 subjects will receive each dose strength of GSK2269557. ELLIPTA is a trademark of the GSK group of companies.
The investigators examine the 15-year mortality after an admission for an exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD).
A randomised controlled trial to test the hypothesis that inhaled therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have differential effects on the upper airway microbiome. COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Exacerbations drive disease progression and worsening quality of life and therefore prevention of exacerbations has been a major goal of treatment. Patients with COPD are frequently prescribed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) which have been shown to reduce exacerbations in combination with long acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonists (LABA). In recent years, all ICS preparations have been associated with a significant increased risk of pneumonia in either randomised trials or observational studies leading to warnings from national regulatory authorities and leading experts. This has led to a re-evaluation of the role of ICS in COPD treatments. It is likely that the risk of pneumonia is not equal across all ICS doses and molecules. There is a compelling rationale for ICS having a strong effect on the upper airway microbiome, and that this may be one mechanism of increased pneumonia risk with these drugs. The existing literature regarding ICS and pneumonia risk are lacking; 1) there are no head to head trials comparing different ICS preparations and 2) the comparator in these studies to date have been long acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonists alone, whereas the most appropriate comparator in current management would be combined LABA and long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA). The MUSIC TRIAL is a multi-centre randomised open label controlled parallel group study with four treatment arms and a total of 120 participants. Severe COPD patients currently treated with inhaled corticosteroid therapy will be randomised to treatment with one of three preparations of ICS in combination with LABA or the control arm of dual bronchodilator therapy following a four week washout period. Participants will return monthly to determine if there are changes in the microbiome in their upper airway. This study will establish one potential mechanism for the increased susceptibility to pneumonia in ICS users and assess intraclass differences in ICS molecules and the effect of ICS dose on the microbiome. Demonstrating that different COPD treatments can have different effects on the lung microbiome is an important step in understanding clinical differences in the safety and effectiveness of different treatments for severe COPD.
This is a study to evaluate the effects of AZD8871 in patients with COPD. Adult male or female patients with moderate to severe COPD, who agree to be in this study, will receive 3 treatments, i.e. 2 different doses of AZD8871 and placebo (dummy medication containing no drug) at once a day for 2 weeks, in a random order. To make the comparison between AZD8871 and placebo as fair as possible, this study is "double blinded." This means that neither patient nor the study doctor will know in which order the 3 treatments will be given. This study will include patients who are between 40 and 80 years of age. In total there will be 42 patients participating in this study at two study centers in the United Kingdom and Germany. The study will have a total of 12 visits for each patient spanning for a period of 4 to 6 months. The study is anticipated to run for approximately 8 months and should not exceed 10 months.
The purpose of this study is to distribute a questionnaire created for individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to assess their activities, participation, and healthcare and COPD-related research priorities. The data collected will be compared across diagnosed COPD stages and disease severity to determine the extent to which adults with COPD participate in the listed activities and identify their primary research and healthcare related priorities. The questionnaire was originally developed based on past research then verified by a panel of COPD and participation experts; as well as, individuals living with COPD in the form of focus groups. The questionnaire will now be administered to 200 individuals living COPD (50 in each GOLD stage) at three sites across Montreal where clinical data for each participant will be available. This phase will help establish the reliability of the questionnaire.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of tiotropium + olodaterol fixed-dose combination (FDC) (5 μg/ 5 μg) delivered by the RESPIMAT inhaler after single dose and at steady state in Chinese patients with COPD. The secondary objective is to assess the safety of tiotropium + olodaterol FDC (5 μg/ 5 μg) delivered by the RESPIMAT inhaler after 3 weeks once daily treatment in Chinese patients with COPD.
An open-label, single dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) comparability study to demonstrate comparable drug exposure following Subcutaneous benralizumab administration by using accessorized pre-filled syringe (APFS) or autoinjector (AI) devices.
This is a community-based cluster randomized control trial aimed to investigate the impact of lifestyle modification (diet, physical activity, alcohol drinking and smoking) on the development of dementia, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease in an intermediate risk population in mixed urban-rural areas of Ubon Ratchathani.
AZD7594 is a non steroidal, potent and selective modulator of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) under development for once daily inhaled treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Abediterol is a novel and selective β2 adrenergic receptor agonist with the potential for once daily treatment of asthma and COPD in fixed dose combination (FDC) with an ICS or a novel anti inflammatory (AI) agent. This study will be the first clinical study for the combination exposure of AZD7594 with abediterol as 2 compounds in FDC or in free combination via 2 separate dry powder inhalers (DPIs). This study will be conducted in healthy male subjects to minimize the effects of concomitant disease states or medications on study measurements.
