Filter by:GSK573719 is a high-affinity specific muscarinic receptor (mAChR) antagonist which is being developed for once daily treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The long duration of action of GSK573719 when administered via inhalation in animal models supports the potential for use as a once-daily bronchodilator for COPD.
The proposed study will examine the effect of pre-treatment with inhaled GSK256066 using a lung inflammation model induced by bronchoscopic instillation of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) in healthy volunteers.Data from this study will be used to support GSK256066 dose selection for future studies in COPD patients.
The purpose of this study it to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 20 mL BLVR System in patients with advanced upper lobe predominant emphysema.
This study will test whether enhanced continuity of pharmacy care that includes increased communication between inpatient and outpatient settings will improve the appropriateness of medication therapy and reduce the number of serious adverse drug events, hospitalizations and unscheduled office visits in vulnerable patients with cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease or diabetes.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are suggested to play a pivotal role in ILD. Little is known, however, about the endogenous antioxidant levels in ILD that can offer protection against ROS. It is expected that the high amount of ROS present in ILD will reduce the antioxidant levels. Therefore, antioxidant therapy to strengthen this reduced antioxidant defense might be efficacious in ILD treatment. Since ROS are capable of initiating and mediating inflammation, antioxidant therapy might also mitigate elevated inflammation. A candidate for antioxidant therapy is the flavonoid quercetin that is known for its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory capacities. The aim of the present study is to determine the antioxidant and inflammatory status in ILD, i.e. sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Furthermore, to evaluate the possible anti-inflammatory effects of antioxidants, the effect of quercetin will be examined on the ex vivo LPS-induced cytokine production in ILD
In the present study inflammatory mediators will be isolated in induced sputum and exhaled breath condensate and will be correlated with particulate matter measured in these samples.Particulate matter will be assessed by partcle size distribution method and shape analysis. The aim of the study is to perform biological monitoring in environmental and occupational diseases in a non invassive fashion.
This study assessed the safety/tolerability of 28 days of treatment with NVA237 100 µg and 200 µg once a day, compared to placebo in patients with moderate or severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The purpose of this trial is to study the effect of megestrol acetate in the gain of body weight in patients with severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in order to improve the survival of the patients.
This is a multicenter, Phase IIIb, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group, comparative study. The objectives of this study are: 1. To compare the efficacy of tiotropium 18 mcg once daily plus Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Solution (FFIS) 20 mcg twice daily to tiotropium 18 mcg once daily. 2. To obtain safety data on the use of tiotropium 18 mcg once daily plus FFIS 20 mcg twice daily compared to tiotropium 18 mcg once daily.
Tadalafil may lower the pulmonary artery pressure in patients with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and secondary pulmonary hypertension and thereby improve patients quality of life.
