Filter by:Approximately 1 in 5 (or 12.7 million adults) in the UK have longstanding respiratory illnesses, and 6.5 million patients report taking prescription medication to ease the burden. Many patients suffer from lung tissue damage, which impairs adequate blood oxygenation and reduces blood saturations, and causes breathlessness. The current method of treatment is palliative - with the patient breathing supplemental oxygen through an oxygen cylinder and tube. This severely compromises patients' quality of life, as they are tethered to a heavy, unwieldy oxygen cylinder, limiting their ability and willingness to leave home. Several recent studies in both animals and humans have indicated that orally administered oxygenated nanobubbles is a safe intervention that can improve tissue oxygenation. This randomized, double-blinded, cross-over, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the effect of an oxygen nanobubbles drink on the exercise performance of patients with chronic lung disease, such as pulmonary fibrosis. Patients will conduct the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) twice, once with a placebo drink and once with the oxygen nanobubbles drink, based on a double-blind randomization protocol, and this study will evaluate the distance walked, heart rate, oxygen levels, breathlessness, and time to recovery in both cases. The investigators hypothesize that drinking the oxygen nanobubbles drink will improve the delivery of oxygen to vital organs, improving the distance a patient can cover in the 6 Minute Walk Test by 30m, which is the minimum clinically important difference.
This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older who have pulmonary fibrosis with or without a known cause (or other forms of pulmonary fibrosis). The purpose of this study is to better understand coughing in people with pulmonary fibrosis. To do this, a wearable cough monitor called Strados Remote Electronic Stethoscope Platform (RESP) is used. This device will measure how often and how forceful coughing is in people with pulmonary fibrosis. All participants in the study get the device. It is placed on their skin over the chest. Participants are in the study for 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site 2 to 3 times. 4 visits are done at the participant's home by video call with the site staff. During the study, the device measures coughing over 24 hours. This is done on 4 days. Participants fill in questionnaires about their coughing and doctors regularly check participant's lung function. A breathing test that measures how well the lungs are working is performed both in the office and during home visits. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. This study will also record patients' experiences using the cough monitor and video assisted breathing tests at visits 3, 4, 5 and 6 at home.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious chronic (long term) disease with injury of lung tissues. REGEND001 Autologous Therapy Product, made from bronchial basal cells with ability to regenerate lung tissue, is promising to IPF treatment. In this study, a single-armed clinical trial is ongoing to assess the safety and tolerability of REGEND001 Autologous Therapy Product in treatment of IPF. Different doses of REGEND001 Autologous Therapy Product is evaluated to establish a dose-response relationship and to recommend appropriate dose for subsequent clinical trials.
In this study we aim to evaluate the radiological and functional changes in post-acute covid-19 pulmonary fibrosis patients in relation to anti-inflammatory and/or antifibrotic drugs prescribed during and after covid-19 pneumonia.
This is a Phase 2a, single -center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate type 1 collagen deposition in the lungs following once-daily treatment with PLN-74809 for 12-weeks. This study is occurring at Massachusetts General Hospital.
This is a randomized, open-label, 2-treatment, 2-period, crossover steady state study conducted to evaluate the comparative bioavailability/bioequivalence of pirfenidone after multi-dose administration of EXCL-100 at doses of 1200 mg (600 mg x 2) in the fed state, and Esbriet® 801 mg (267 mg capsule x 3) given in the fed state, to healthy volunteers.
This is a FIH, double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-group randomised, trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and multiple ascending oral doses of compound 106 (C106) in healthy females of non-childbearing potential and healthy males. The trial will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A, single ascending dose (SAD) including a food interaction cohort: safety, tolerability, and PK in healthy males and healthy females of non-childbearing potential receiving single ascending doses of C106. Part B, multiple ascending dose (MAD): safety, tolerability, and PK in healthy males and healthy females of non-childbearing potential receiving twice daily multiple ascending doses of C106 for 8 days.
Since September 1st, 2009, Taiwan has begun to pay attention to the care of patients with organ failure, dementia and the elderly, and brought eight of non-cancer terminal patients into health insurance subsidies to implement the goal of universal palliative care and local aging. Taiwan has entered the aged society since March 2018, become the heavy burden of expenditure in Taiwan because of the health care needs and costs associated with the rapid aging of the population. With advanced medical technology, when facing inevitable death situation, should not use too much medical treatment on terminally ill patients. The waste of medical resources and bring both patients and family members so much pain. In Taiwan, people have misconception about tranquil palliative care. The low rate of home palliative care for non-terminal cancer patients. The purpose of this study is investigating the eight non-cancer terminal caregivers' knowledge, attitudes and service intentions of palliative care, and getting the result by research intervention. In this study, a randomized experimental research design was applied by two-group pre-and post-test. The targets are the eight non-cancer terminal caregivers in a home care institution of a regional teaching hospital located in Yilan. Targets' ID end with odd numbers are in experimental group received shared mode intervention, and even numbers are in control group received home routine care. The experimental group was implementing measures of weekly shared mode intervention in 20 to 60 minutes for six weeks; the control group started to implement measures of home care medical instructions booklet in the third week. The content of the outcome measurement questionnaire includes: basic information of the eight non-cancer terminal caregivers, the palliative care knowledge scale, the palliative care attitude scale, and palliative care service initiation intention scale. Data were analyzed by statistical methods such as descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and one-way ANOVA.
An open label study to evaluate drug-drug interactions between HEC585 and Pirfenidone or Nintedanib in healthy volunteers
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the home-based inspiratory muscle training program on lung functions, dyspnea, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
