Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of an implant for severe emphysema in up to 30 participants at up to 5 study centers located in Europe and the United Kingdom. The main questions this clinical trial aim to answer are: Is it safe? Does it work? Participants who meet eligibility criteria will have up to two procedures 30 days apart, in which up to 3 implants will be placed in each lung during the procedure(s). Participants will be asked to return for follow-up visits at 30 days, and 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure(s).
Phase 2 study to compare INBRX-101 to plasma derived A1PI therapy in adults with AATD emphysema

Participants who meet eligibility criteria will have up to two procedures 30 days apart, in which up to 3 implants will be placed in each lung during the procedure(s).

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
Prolonged air leak is reported in up to 60 to 75% of patients after lung operation in the presence of severe lung emphysema. The effect of the non-powered AEONTM Endostapler as compared to the Echelon FlexTM Powered plus stapler on the volume and duration of air leak and on the time to chest drain removal after lung operation in the presence of severe lung emphysema will be investigated in a randomized, prospective, single-blinded clinical trial.
This is a 6 week crossover study in former smokers with and without COPD to evaluate whether 2 weeks of dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 81mg and clopidogrel 75mg) improves pulmonary perfusion (i.e. blood flow in the lungs measured on a contrast CT scan) compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine if doxycycline will reduce progression of emphysema in people living with HIV. The secondary objectives are to examine the effects of doxycycline on change in quantity of emphysema, six minute walk distance, patient reported outcomes, ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity. Secondary objectives will also describe the safety and tolerability of doxycycline and determine if doxycycline is associated with development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
To investigate the Influence of Climatic and Environmental Factors on Respiratory or Allergic Diseases in Sanya.
A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Immunogenicity of Single Ascending Doses of OsrhAAT in Healthy Volunteers
The purpose of this protocol is to perform a pilot prospective controlled clinical trial to evaluate the potential role of lung fissure completion with pleural adhesiolysis strategy (experimental intervention) in severe emphysema/COPD patients with failed bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) via the use of endobronchial valves (EBVs) therapy. In select patients, the lung fissure completion with adhesiolysis strategy will be performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) guided stapling along the lung fissures to reduce collateral ventilation with adhesions removal and determine whether this experimental strategy will improve outcomes after failed BLVR in patients with severe emphysema/COPD.
