Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a single dosage strength of GW685698/GW642444 in subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is primarily caused by cigarette smoking. The breakdown of elastin, a protein found in the lungs, can cause lung damage and may contribute to the development of COPD. Some people may be more prone to elastin damage and in turn to developing COPD than others. This study will examine whether genetic factors are responsible for altering elastin function and increasing the risk of developing COPD.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimum dose(s) of BI 1744 CL administered with 5 microgram tiotropium bromide solution for inhalation, delivered by the Respimat® inhaler, once daily for four weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study will involve the use of a new medicine called GW642444 being developed for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of the study is to see how safe and how well tolerated the study drug is when it is given as a liquid by mouth or by injection into a vein. In addition the study will measure how much of the medicine gets into the bloodstream when it is given by mouth, by injection into a vein and inhaled, and how long the body takes to get rid of it.
Hypothesis: Hospital based, comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPD in GOLD stage IV can be optimized by application of nocturnal non invasive ventilation. This hypotheses shall be tested by an observational trial, comparing rehabilitation effects of a prospectively observed group receiving non invasive ventilation, compared wiht a historical control group of patients who did received the same treatment without non invasive ventilation.
This study will involve the use of a new medicine called GW642444 being developed for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of the study is to see how safe and how well tolerated the study drug is when inhaled in two different formulations as a fine powder by asthmatic patients. In addition, the study is designed to examine the effect of the study drug on the lungs, how the study drug affects parts of the body other than the lungs and to see how the body affects the study drug when it is given in single doses.
Prostatitis is the most common urologic diagnosis in men under the age of 50 and the third most common diagnosis in older men. In Chronic Prostatitis (CP) or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), men have lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and decreased quality of life. Little is known about the cause of CP/CPPS. Likewise, no definitive therapy exists for CP/CPPS. We plan to study the use of CC-10004 in men with CP/CPPS.
This observational non-interventional study is designed to demonstrate the improvement of physical function in COPD patients on treatment with Spiriva Respimat and allows adverse events to be recorded and evaluated.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimum dose(s) of BI 1744 CL administered with 5 micrograms tiotropium bromide solution for inhalation, delivered by the Respimat inhaler, once daily for four weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study is the first administration of GSK610677 to man. The main aim of this clinical study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of different doses of the investigational medicinal product GSK610677. 2 cohorts of 8 subjects (Cohorts I and II) will be enrolled into this study. Individual subjects in each cohort will have up to 3 treatment periods. In each treatment period, subjects will receive a single inhaled dose of GSK610677 or placebo. Predicted doses are: 10, 30, 50 100 250 and 500ug.For individual subjects in each cohort, there will be a minimum wash out period of at least 10 days. In this period safety and tolerability data will be collected prior to dose to the next level.After safety review meetings between the site and the sponsor following the administration of the 500 ug dose, it was decided to add an extra cohort (Cohort III) of 8 subjects and administer 1000µg. Each subject in Cohort III will undergo a screening visit, one treatment period, and a follow up visit.
