Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for cardiac repolarization, according to electrocardiographic monitoring (including QT and QTc intervals), of two dose levels of CHF5993 pMDI (beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium bromide (BDP/FF/GB)) and of one dose of CHF5259 (GB) in healthy subjects compared to moxifloxacin and placebo.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the new asymmetric nasal high flow interface with the conventional high flow nasal cannula in patients with COPD exacerbation. The main questions the study aims to answer are: • Does the use of the asymmetric interface lead to: 1. A greater decrease in the patients' carbon dioxide 2. A greater decrease in respiratory rate and less dyspnea 3. Less need for advanced oxygen therapy measures 4. Same tolerance and comfort 5. Lower heart rate and blood pressure Participants will be asked to: Wear the asymmetric and conventional cannulas for 3 hours each with a 30 minute gap in-between. Arterial blood samples and various clinical parameters will be collected throughout the study period. Researchers will compare the effect of asymmetric versus conventional cannulas to answer the aforementioned questions.
To determine the feasibility of Tele-rehabilitation vs traditional center-based pulmonary rehabilitation for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Participants with respiratory disease experience often a worsening of their condition, with increasing symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath. This worsening, often called exacerbation or flare up, impacts on the life of the participants, since they become limited in their daily activities. Healthcare is still based today on limited times for clinical appointments to perform investigations and to meet with specialists/clinicians. Very often, these evaluations do not reflect the way the disease is limiting the patient's life. Wearable devices offer the opportunity to collect data on physical activities and important clinical parameters (such as how the patient is active or just staying in bed during the day), on a daily basis. The HG Phoenix AI- based Smart Watch produced by Health Gauge, an Albertan company based in Edmonton, has the potential to measure heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, respiratory rate, temperature, arterial saturation, sleep pattern (deep, light sleep, awake time), duration and time, daily physical activities (site count and distance) and calories burnt in a simple and non-invasive fashion. Ideally, these parameters could be monitored and recorded 24 hours per 7 days per week. This study aims to demonstrate that this device can be used for a long time at home and it is comfortable to use for the participants, that it is not dangerous and, possibly, that it can help to identify exacerbations before the currently available investigations.
The database will contain a wide range of demographic, clinical, radiological, laboratory, functional, microbiological, treatment, and clinical outcomes data on adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma enrolled during stable state with annual follow-up (either one or two-year follow up). Primary Objective: To collect clinical (including quality of life measurements), laboratory (including non-invasive measurement of biomarkers), microbiological, radiological, functional, treatment variables and clinical outcomes, in adult patients with either asthma or COPD during stable state. Secondary Objectives: To identify genetic and other omics patterns to develop phenotype handprints for adults with either asthma or COPD. To characterize the airways microbiome in stable patients with either asthma or COPD and identify correlation with clinical phenotypes and/or endotypes.
A problem often observed during exercise training is oxygen desaturation exclusively during exercise in some patients. In the case of exercise-induced desaturation, it may be suggested to train these patients in interval training to limit exercise-induced desaturation. Interval training consists of alternating active phases of short duration (often 30 seconds to 1 minute) followed by a short active or passive recovery phase of equivalent duration to the previous phase. Investigators therefore hypothesise that interval training on a cycloergometer or treadmill can limit exercise-induced desaturation in COPD patients. The aim of the study is to observe the evolution of pulsed oxygen saturation between a continuous training session and a interval training session.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether voice or capnometry, alone or in combination with other (non invasive) biomarkers can be used to detect emphysema on chest CT-scan in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Can a machine-learning based algorithm be developed that can classify the extent of emphysema on chest CT scan from patients with COPD, based on voice and/or capnometry. Participants will: - perform different voice-related tasks - perform capnometry twice (before/after exercise) - perform a light exercise task between tasks ( 5-sit-to-stand test) - undergo one venipuncture
This research study is being conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using technology to deliver a remote home exercise program and assess the health outcomes of patients with chronic lung diseases. Specific objectives are to assess the interventions on patients: 1) Lung function, 2) Dyspnea, 3) Fatigue, 4) Exercise capacity, 5) Self-efficacy, and 6) Health-related quality of life. The investigators will also be evaluating the practicality of using videoconferencing and commercial wearable telemonitoring devices (ie. smart watches) for the implementation of the intervention in this group of patients.
Targeted Lung Denervation (TLD) Therapy is intended to improve airway smooth muscle relaxation from the site of treatment all the way to the lung periphery, which may be beneficial in the treatment of patients with COPD. To better understand the physiological effects of this therapy, the investigators intend to conduct a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of the lung with HP 129Xe study in COPD patients undergoing this procedure. HP 129Xe provides valuable regional information about ventilation and gas exchange in both healthy and diseased lung.
Tele-monitoring emerged and unfolded differently among various healthcare organisations and countries. Evidence regarding its impact on the management of COPD patients is still insufficient to draw firm conclusions. Assumption has been made that remote monitoring of home NIV treatment could help to identify novel predictors of the early detection of NIV failure and deteriorations in patients with COPD. The incidence in routine clinical care of unplanned all-cause and COPD-caused hospitalisations in patients treated with NIV therapy who are continuously monitored by telemetric data in France needs evaluation. In addition, predictors of unplanned all-cause and COPD-caused hospitalisations as well as of compliance and persistence to NIV therapy should be assessed in this patient population with special respect to continuous tele-monitoring. The study will determine in France the incidence in routine clinical care of unplanned all-cause and COPD-caused hospitalisations in patients treated with NIV therapy who are continuously monitored by telemetric data. Clinical and telemetric predictors of unplanned all-cause and COPD-caused hospitalisations and of NIV therapy compliance and persistence will be assessed in those patients
