Filter by:Only little information exists about the long term consequences of having severe lung disease in childhood. The patient population is heterogenous and the prognostic markers are few. This observational study will investigate which parameters that can be used to predict the outcome of having severe lung disease in childhood.
The goal of this validation study is to provide further evidence of the metrological properties of the 6-minute stepper test in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the 6-minute stepper test valid when compared to the 6-minute walk test and a maximal cardiopulmonary cycling test? 2. Does the 6-minute stepper test give the same results when conducted through direct (i.e., therapist in person) and remote (i.e., videoconferencing) monitoring? 3. Is the 6-minute stepper test safe when conducted at the home of the individual with direct (i.e., therapist in person) or remote (i.e., videoconferencing) monitoring? Participants will: - Conduct the 6-minute stepper test (several trials on separate days) - Conduct the 6-minute walk test (1 trial on 1 day) - Conduct a maximal cardiopulmonary test on a cycle ergometer (1 trial on 1 day) - Participate in a semi-structured interview to provide their feedback with regards to the 6-minute stepper test
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes a quarter of all deaths in the United Kingdom (UK). This is the single biggest area where the National Health Service (NHS) can save lives by detecting and treating risk factors early. Improvements in control of blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, kidney disease, as well as weight loss in individuals who are obese, have been shown to reduce the risk of CVD and death. The NHS has guidelines for investigations and treatments for risk factors recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Though it is known that better control of risk factors will reduce the risk of CVD the investigators do not know whether having extra appointments in primary care with heart specialists can lead to better treatment and better control of risk factors. The OPTIMISE trial (OPTIMISation of Cardio-renal-metabolic-pulmonary Disease Guideline Adherence in High Risk Community Dwelling Individuals) will compare patients who have consultations at a local General Practitioner (GP) practice by a cardiology professional to optimise the treatment of their risk factors (OPTIMISE) with those patients who receive standard care (Standard care). Standard care is patients being seen by their GP at routine care appointments. Participants in the OPTIMISE arm will be reviewed by the cardiology professional and recommended treatment in line with current NICE guidance. They will be seen at 3 months to review their treatment and potentially adjusted to ensure it meets NICE guidelines. Participants in the standard arm will have data related to their cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and pulmonary risk factors collected through their Electronic Health Record (EHR). At 6 months, all participants will be seen to find out changes to their prescribed medication and the effect of this on their blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar level, and body mass index (BMI). All participants will also complete a quality of life questionnaire prior to randomisation study and at 6 months to identify any differences between the arms and time points.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of olokizumab (OKZ) compared to placebo in patients progressive fibrosing Interstitial lung diseases (ILD).
The pre-stage of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Pre-COPD) is challenging to diagnose. However, identifying Pre-COPD is a crucial step in the prevention and management of COPD. Endobronchial optical coherence tomography showed the value of diagnosis in Pre-COPD and COPD in previous researchs.
This clinical trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group dose-response phase 2 clinical trial study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bronpass Tab. in 96 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The goal of this exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate the initial clinical safety and performance of a prototype wearable chest wall vibration (CWV) device intended to relieve exertional dyspnea in adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can CWV be delivered safely to participants via a wearable device? - Is there evidence of an effect on participant-reported dyspnea, endurance time and other measures of cardiorespiratory function? Participants will undergo two cycle-ergometer exercise testing sessions while wearing the prototype wearable device. The device will be active in one session (intervention) and inactive in the other (control). The order in which intervention or control occurs will be randomised. Researchers gather data relating to adverse events, device deficiencies, participant-reported symptom severity, endurance time and measures of cardiorespiratory function recorded via standard CPET apparatus.
Open-label, phase III, randomized, stratified (PDL1- vs PDL1+), 3 arms, multicenter clinical trial. 129 resected patients (43 per arm) with stage from IB to IIIA and IIIB (N2) non-small cell lung cancer that do not achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant treatment. This clinical trial has 3 arms of treatment. ARM 1: Observation 10 months, ARM 2: treatment with immunotherapy (Zimberelimab) for 13 cycles and ARM 3: treatment with Sacituzumab Govitecan and Zimberelimab for 8 cycles and Zimberelimab monotherapy for 5 cycles. The primary objective is to evaluate the disease-free survival (DFS): defined as the length of time from randomization to the earliest event defined as disease recurrence, any new lung cancer (even in the opposite lung), or death from any cause at any known point in time. Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 2 years, treatment is planned to extend during 1 years and the patients will be followed up for 2 years. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.
Lung transplantation has become standard of care for selected patients with end stage pulmonary disease. While on the lung transplantation waiting list, patient health, emotional wellbeing and quality of life can deteriorate. By improving or changing patient physical activity, healthy nutrition, tobacco cessation, patient preparation for lung transplantation can be optimized, risk of complications can be reduced, and outcomes post transplantation can be improved. The potential of health coaching to improve health outcomes has been demonstrated in several chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, health coaching was proven effective through telemedicine. No studies so far have addressed the potential effect of a pre-transplant health coaching program on existing medical conditions, transplant rates and post-transplant outcomes. Investigators hypothesized that health coaching can improve health outcomes and survival of lung transplantation candidates by supporting and growing patients' capacity to cope with the demands of their end stage pulmonary disease.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact that ENV-101 has on lung function and key measures of fibrosis in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). Another goal of this study is to better understand the safety and tolerability of ENV-101 in these patient populations.
