Filter by:A phase 2, Randomized, Observer-blind, Multicenter, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity, Safety, and Tolerability of the plant-made H5 VLP Influenza vaccine adjuvanted with Alhydrogel or Glucopyranosyl-lipid adjuvant in squalene emulsion (GLA-SE), in healthy adults 18-60 years of age.
A comparative study to test the efficacy of a novel device - the MiniBoxPFT, in measuring TLC (total lung capacity) compared to TLC measured by standard body plethysmography using the ZAN 500. The study will be conducted as a prospective two-arm, open, randomized comparative study.
To compare the effect of different airway clearance techniques on lung ventilation by electrical impedance tomography.
The aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of using physical therapy resources in the postoperative morbidly obese individuals undergoing gastroplasty. It is believed that the application of these various features of physiotherapy after abdominal surgery may contribute differently in restoring lung function and prevention of pulmonary complications and can thus identify the resources that can contribute more effectively in post-operative bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of aspirin desensitization on symptoms and immunologic profile of patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory diseases (AERD).
As part of the long-term goal of successfully implementing tissue regeneration strategies in an individualized manner for patients with thoracic diseases including, but not limited to: cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension, the investigators will assess the feasibility of collecting skin biopsies from patients undergoing surgery for thoracic disease, culturing skin fibroblasts from the biopsy, and reprogramming these skin fibroblasts into induced pluripotent cells.
This will be a 3 part study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and repeat doses of GSK2862277 administered via inhalation (IH) or intravenous (IV) routes in healthy subjects. Part 1 of this study will involve an initial assessment of safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK286227, via single escalating intravenous doses, compared to a predecessor molecule, GSK1995057. After completion of Part 1 an interim data review will occur which will assess key comparability criteria to inform progression to Part 2 of the study. Part 2 of the study will involve single doses of GSK2862277 at a level predicted to be at or close to therapeutic dose levels. Part 2 will investigate both intravenous and inhaled routes of administration, in sequential manner, respectively. An interim data review will also occur after completion of Part 2, where all data accumulated previously will be assessed to examine appropriateness to progress to Part 3. Part 3 of the study will involve 5 days of repeat dosing via both inhaled and intravenous routes using the same dose administered in Part 2.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using positive pressure in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative morbidly obese individuals undergoing gastroplasty. It is believed that the application of these devices before, during or after surgery can help to improve the lungs and reduce pulmonary complications after surgery to reduce the stomach.
Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease, or AERD, consists of aspirin sensitivity, asthma and nasal polyps. It is currently managed by chronic steroid use, multiple endoscopic sinus surgeries and/or aspirin desensitization. However, these treatments have potential adverse effects. A theory has been postulated that decreasing the level of dietary salicylates may help in long-term control of disease. A current trial is in the works to evaluate the clinical outcomes of decreased salicylate, but measurements of biochemical markers of disease has not yet been done. The hypothesis is that decreased dietary salicylates will result in a decrease in urinary salicylates and inflammatory markers of disease, cys-leukotrienes, which are typically elevated in this disease.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different manual techniques included traditionally on respiratory physical therapy
