Filter by:In-home health monitoring devices have the potential to increase the speed and ease of modifying treatment for ambulatory patients living with chronic conditions. This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of remote data transmission from in-home devices (blood glucose meter/blood pressure machine) to the clinic on treatment outcomes in patients with diabetes who have out of range blood glucose (BG) or systolic blood pressure (BP) measurements. We test whether the short-term targeted use of in-home monitoring devices facilitates management for providers and improves outcome measures for patients.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of once daily treatment of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution (5 and 10 mcg) delivered via the Respimat® inhaler, in patients with COPD.
This is a phase II trial of reduced intensity conditioning with Bu/Flu/ATG in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies at high risk for transplant related mortality with standard transplantation. Patients qualify based on organ system dysfunction, active but stable infection, history of previous transplant or late stage disease. We plan to enroll 45 patients through the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium (PBMTC) and anticipate that the outcome of the trial will pave the way for phase II or III disease specific protocols addressing efficacy of the approach compared to standard transplant approaches in better risk patients.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of once daily treatment of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution (5 and 10 mcg) delivered via the Respimat® inhaler, in patients with COPD.
Compare two care management support program models on medical costs and utilization.
A multicenter study to evaluate lung function and symptoms in subjects with COPD who have been on regular use of only one long-acting bronchodilator.
The Internet Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (ICDSMP) is a pilot study of our existing, previous approved, Chronic Disease Self-Management Program Online. The online programme will be offered to 300 people with chronic disease in South Australia and evaluated for effectiveness, as well as satisfaction of both the South Australian peer facilitators and the participants with chronic disease. All participants will be recruited by the State of South Australia, after which they will complete informed consent and a questionnaire on a secure website housed at Stanford. They will take a 6-week online self-management program in groups of 20-25, and they fill our additional online questionnaires at 6 month and one year.
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the combination of ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50mcg (FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE/SALMETEROL COMBINATION PRODUCT) plus SPIRIVA HANDIHALER 18mcg (TIOTROPIUM)compared to SPIRIVA HANDIHALER 18mcg (TIOTROPIUM) in patients with COPD.
This study will look at the pharmacokinetics, safety, toleration and efficacy of PF-00610355 in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) population. The doses in this study are intended to explore the anticipated clinical dose range.
GW642444 and GSK233705 are in development for treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Development of these two inhaled drugs as a combination therapy would have potential for improved patient benefit as they both work through different mechanisms and the combined bronchodilatory effect might be additive. This study will look at the this combination, for the first time, in healthy Japanese subjects.
