The purpose of the Taste Perception Study is to assess variations in the ability to taste and perceive sensations from various stimuli in younger (18-49 years) and older (50-85 years) volunteers. The study's goal is to determine how these sensations influence what one likes to eat, and what one chooses to eat, and whether there is an association with dietary intake, body composition and chronic disease. Another objective of the study is to determine the association between variations in oral sensations and genes mediating sensory perception and dietary behaviours.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and patient acceptability of COMBIVENT RESPIMAT Inhalation Spray as compared to the COMBIVENT Inhalation Aerosol Chlorofluorocarbon-Metered Dose Inhaler (CFC-MDI) and the free combination of ATROVENT Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) and albuterol Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) inhalation aerosols.
The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
This is a single centre, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, single and repeat dose study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of inhaled dose of GSK573719 with lactose and containing magnesium stearate by a novel dry powder device in healthy Japanese male subjects.
This is a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of symptomatic airway obstruction using the LFQ as a screening tool in primary care patients with a history of cigarette smoking and to provide descriptive data of this patient population. The study design is multicenter, cross-sectional, and involves a single visit. This study is not intended to evaluate the efficacy or safety of any investigational products. Following completion of written informed consent, eligible study subjects will complete a single study visit encompassing all required study assessments. Study subjects will not receive blinded study medication for evaluations of efficacy and safety. All eligible patients will complete a self-administered Web survey that will include the LFQ. To meet both the primary and secondary aims, all patients with LFQ ≤ 18 (current cut-off for obstruction), as well as 5% of patients who score > 18, will be candidates for spirometric assessment. Only this subset of patients will undergo pulmonary function tests. Albuterol will be self-administered for determination of post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one-second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio and post-bronchodilator FEV1 percentage of predicted normal. The study will end when 800 patients have been assessed spirometrically or 3,000 patients have completed the LFQ (whichever criterion is achieved first). Prior to implementation of the full study, a pilot study will be conducted at two of the chosen study sites to pretest the proposed study procedures.
The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The purpose of this study is to examine if vitamin D improves the symptoms of chronic sinusitis.
The objective of this observational study is to collect and evaluate data on Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of Spiriva delivered by HandiHaler, using disease specific SGRQ in the national samples of Central & Central European patients with varying severities of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the real life setting over the 6 months.
This study addresses self management and maintenance of health through evaluation of a program of patient education in combination with physical training and with a structured follow-up. It is hypothesized that such a program will: 1. improve quality of life, physical functioning, coping in everyday-life 2. reduce hospitalization and (re-)admissions for patients with chronic disease, reduce consumption of home care services and can increase consumption of general practice and physiotherapy services in primary health care. 3. improve patient satisfaction and health care providers satisfaction
