Filter by:This study is a single treatment period, single dose gamma scintigraphy study investigating the deposition in the lungs of a Budesonide, Glycopyrronium and Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dose Inhaler (BGF-MDI). This study will be investigating how the drug (known as PT010) is distributed in the lungs of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients (with moderate to very severe COPD) following a maximal 10 second breath hold. This inhaler is intended to be used in the treatment of COPD, which is a group of diseases which cause lung problems and difficulty breathing. PT010 is a new combination product of 3 marketed drugs called Glycopyrronium, Formoterol Fumarate and Budesonide.
There is an excess of hospitalization rates for acute exacerbation of COPD in Picardy compared to the national data. A first study realized in Picardy has shown a link between air quality and COPD. Nevertheless, the particles type is unknown and according to it, impact on COPD could be different. The investigator goal is to find a correlation between acute exacerbation of COPD consultation rate and daily ultra thin particles in Haut de France. The investigators will correlate the particles composition with daily acute exacerbation of COPD rate. All COPD patients with a diagnosis of acute exacerbation in emergency room in University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie and Lille, and Clinique de l'Europe between 01/01/2020 and 31/12/2020 will be included. For each patient, home and work address will be collected. The duration of 1 year was chosen to take into account seasonal variations. In parallel, a daily report of the rate of ozone, particles (PM2.5 and PM10), dioxide nitrogen but also odours and pollens will be done by ATMO Haut de France.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common lung disease, affecting 1.2 million people in the United Kingdom (UK). COPD patients suffer with episodes of worsening breathing symptoms called acute exacerbations (AECOPD). Exacerbations occur more often as the disease progresses and are a leading cause of emergency hospitalisation. Patients recovering from exacerbations are at high risk of deteriorating, with one quarter readmitted to hospital within thirty days. COPD thus imposes immense burdens on the National Health Service and patients. This research will investigate the effects of using humidified nasal high-flow (HNHF) during recovery from severe COPD exacerbations. HNHF delivers warmed, humidified air under flows of up to 60 litres per minute through a nasal interface. This has been shown to improve clinical outcomes, including exacerbation frequency, hospitalisations, breathlessness and quality of life amongst COPD patients with respiratory failure. It is thought to achieve this by improving secretion clearance and providing positive airways pressure which supports the breathing system. Patients admitted to St Thomas' Hospital, London with COPD exacerbations will be recruited. Prior to discharge, participants will be randomised to receive either usual care alone or usual care plus a HNHF device, which they will be trained to use for a regular period daily. Usual care includes inhalers, steroids and may include antibiotics. Participants will be followed up for 30-days after hospital discharge using weekly assessments, daily symptom diaries and wrist-worn watch-like devices that detect physical activity. This will enable evaluation of the clinical effects of HNHF on re-exacerbations, readmissions, breathlessness, physical activity and quality of life. Device usage will also be quantified. Participants who receive devices will be interviewed to explore their experiences. After the 30-day home follow-up period, a sub-group of participants will undergo detailed breathing tests during and after exercise to explore the effects of HNHF on the respiratory system.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of CHF1535 pMDI versus Symbicort® Turbohaler® in terms of lung function parameters and patients reported outcomes and to assess its safety and tolerability.
A randomized controlled trial in which icing and airflow stimulation for reduction of dyspnea in patients of obstructive lung disease was done which is characterized as condition of infection described by constant improvement of perpetual constraint of flow of air that is partially reversible and incorporates chronic bronchitis, emphysema and small airway diseases . The tools used were RR, Spirometry, Saturation, Borg Scale, MRC scale, shuttle walk test and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (St.GRQ) score. Pulse oximeter measured the saturation levels and respiratory rates were alse observed. Borg scale measured rate of perceived exertion ranges from 6(easy physical activity) and 20(worst activity) and MRC measure dyspnea levels. In St.GRQ score between 1 to 8 is symptoms related and 9 to 17 was activity related.Literature review indicate that icing and airflow stimulation reduce dyspnea in patients of obstructive lung diseases.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the fourth-leading cause of death. It is a progressive illness that requires life-long treatment.Promoting airway clearance (AC) using mucolytics together with airway clearance techniques (ACTs) form the basis for pulmonary therapy in COPD care.Therefore, new airway clearance modalities are required to decrease the detrimental effects of accumulated secretions in COPD. One of the devices used in AC is the high frequency chest wall oscillation (The Vest). HFCWO involves the use of an inflatable vest/jacket that covers the chest and is attached to an air pulse-generating compressor which rapidly inflates and deflates the vest, producing oscillations to the chest wall of 5-25 Hz. Another new airway clearance modality is oscillating positive expiratory pressure(Quake) which combines PEP therapy with high frequency oscillations.
In the presented study, autonomic function as well as risk for atrial fibrillation will be assessed to characterize the relation between risk of atrial fibrillation and autonomic function.
The purpose of conducting this study is to obtain PK data of Beclometasone Dipropionate (BDP)/Beclometasone-17-MonoPropionate (B17MP), Formoterol Fumarate (FF) and Glycopyrronium Bromide (GB) after inhalation of CHF 5993 in Japanese as well as Caucasian healthy subjects under the same setting.
Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) combination is commonly prescribed to treat COPD; we will perform a retrospective analysis on the effect of adding a long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (LAMA) to ICS/LABA combination in COPD.
This study will assess the within-day variation of blood eosinophils in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) in stable state and determine if there is a correlation between the blood eosinophils and certain clinical parameters.
