Filter by:The study assessed the safety and ability of several doses of an orally inhaled medicine [ie, Glycopyrrolate Inhalation Solution = GIS] to improve airflow in the lungs when delivered with an electronic eFlow nebulizer system in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study was conducted in 12 patients in 2 parts. Part 1 was designed to find the once-a- day GIS dose that produced the highest improvement in lung airflow. Part 2 tested the GIS dose with the highest improvement in lung airflow and a placebo (ie, no drug) delivered by a general purpose nebulizer. The airflow improvements of the same GIS dose were compared between the two nebulizer systems to determine what effect the device had on GIS delivery.
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) affect the airways and other structures of the lungs and thereby lead to ventilation inhomogeneity. The most common CRDs in children are asthma, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis (CF). All three are obstructive diseases. However, while asthma is mostly characterized by obstruction due to bronchoconstriction of the airways, obstruction in bronchiectasis and CF originates primarily from mucus retention due to abnormal airway clearance mechanisms. The Nitrogen Multiple Breath Washout test (N2-MBW-test) is a robust and sensitive detector of early pulmonary changes and ventilation inhomogeneity. The minimal cooperation which is required for this test makes it very convenient for use in any age category. Research on LCI described it as a reliable indicator of obstructive lung disease in pediatric CF patients as from 6 years of age. Whether LCI is a reliable parameter for early lung disease in asthma children is less clearly demonstrated. No data were found on LCI calculated from the N2-MBW-test in children with bronchiectasis.
The study assessed the safety and ability of an orally inhaled medicine [i.e., Glycopyrrolate Inhalation Solution = GIS] to improve airflow in the lungs when delivered using an eFlow nebulizer in 42 patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Each patient randomly received several, single doses of GIS, or placebo, separated by approximately 1 to 2 weeks. After the dose was given, lung airflow was measured over 24 hours and blood was collected to measure how much GIS was in the bloodstream. The study was conducted to find the once-a- day GIS dose that produced the highest improvement in lung airflow using the eFlow nebulizer.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung-related disorder that is characterized by long-term, often progressive state of poor airflow. Primary symptoms include low oxygen tension, shortness of breath, productive cough, and broncho-pulmonary inflammation and interference with oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange. Air pollution and tobacco smoking are felt to be the most common cause of these issues. Diagnostic testing is based on poor airflow measured by lung function studies and whose symptoms do not improve much with antiasthma bronchodilators. Study is an interventional study to document the safety and efficacy of use of AD-cSVF in chronic broncho-pulmonary disease groups.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the potential benefits of participant use of a smartphone application ("App") called COPD Co-Pilot™. When used by the participant, COPD Co-Pilot™ may provide early detection of worsening COPD symptoms. Early symptom detection may allow the pulmonary providers and nurses to respond with timely medical advice and treatment. The goal for use of COPD Co-Pilot™ is to reduce the frequency and duration of hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and hospital readmissions. The study will also examine the financial impact of the COPD Co-Pilot™ program to determine whether costs of hospital stays, emergency department visits, and hospital readmissions differ when patients are enrolled in COPD Co-Pilot™ than when they are not enrolled. Another purpose of this study is to measure patient satisfaction with use of COPD Co-Pilot™.
This is a prospective study of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with respiratory failure and admitted in West China Hospital during April 2017 to March 2019. The following variables will be prospectively studied: age, sex, height, weight, respiratory function indicators, arterial blood gas analysis results, biochemical data, nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score, short-term and long-term prognostic outcomes. The purpose of this study is to assess whether NRS 2002 is a useful prognosis predictor in COPD patients with respiratory failure.
This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with respiratory failure and admitted in West China Hospital during January 2014 to March 2016 by review of medical records. The following variables will be retrospectively studied: age, sex, marriage, height, weight, respiratory rate, PaO2, PaCO2, nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score, ALB, short-term and long-term prognostic outcomes, and so on. The purpose of this study is to compare the predictive power of three widely used nutritional assessment methods (BMI, NRS 2002 and ALB) predicting the prognostic outcomes in a cohort of COPD patients with respiratory failure.
A phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of HCP1202
Objective: A prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Xuebijing injection for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods: 254 AECOPD inpatients will be recruited in 6 hospitals in China over 2 years. They will be randomly assigned to Experimental group and Placebo group，Experimental: Xuebijing injection 50ml in 100ml of Normal Saline IV, in 80mins, per 12 hours. administration of the agent for consecutive 5 days；Placebo Comparator: Normal Saline 150ml IV, in 80mins, per 12 hours. administration of the agent for consecutive 5 days. Compare the following index between the two groups: Invasive mechanical ventilation rate, length of hospital stay, Treg cell,Th1,Th2,HLA-DR,CRP,PCT,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α，IFN-γ, APACHEⅡ, CAPS score.
To assess the effect of treatment with Glycopyronnium (GP) MDI administered twice daily (BID) and Formoterol Fumarate (FF) MDI administered BID on specific image-based airway volumes and resistance in subjects with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) following chronic dosing after approximately two weeks treatment.
