AECOPD is a major cause of hospital admission and mortality. They contribute to long-term decline in lung function, physical capacity, and quality of life (QoL). RLS-0071 is a novel peptide being developed for the treatment of AECOPD. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RLS-0071 in the treatment of adults with moderate exacerbations of COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and treatable disease characterized by progressive airflow limitation and tissue destruction. It is associated with structural lung changes due to chronic inflammation from prolonged exposure to noxious particles or gases most commonly cigarette smoke. POWERbreathe device (POWER-breathe International Ltd., Southam, Warwickshire, UK) is an inspiratory muscle training and this device has recently shown benefits on pulmonary function. Also, the POWER-breathe® device's effects on the strength of the diaphragm muscle and minimize muscle weakness and wasting in COPD patients. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is commonly used in physical therapy to increase muscle strength and promote muscle hypertrophy. NMES applied to respiratory rehabilitation is called transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS).
This work is a multicentric prospective cohort study designed to improve chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment and management. The study involves 150 patients diagnosed with COPD who are at risk of exacerbations. These patients are recruited from three tertiary hospitals in Spain, Germany, and Italy. The study will last 18 months, with a 12-month follow-up duration for each patient. The primary objective of this study is to develop and test Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based models that can predict moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations early on. This will be done by analyzing daily-life data collected from unobtrusive sensors that monitor patients' psycho-physiological and environmental signals. By accurately predicting exacerbations, the study aims to support clinicians in providing more precise, optimized, and personalized treatment to COPD patients. A secondary objective is to train and test AI-based models to estimate the 12-month dynamics of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in COPD patients. This will involve analyzing data related to the patients' functional exercise capacity, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), and health-related quality of life, as measured by the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) score and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score.
In some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the breathlessness is caused by hyperinflation of the lungs. This causes difficulty breathing air out and makes it harder to breath in new air and limits the movement of the diaphram. The diaphragm is the muscle used for breathing between the chest and the stomach. Some of these patients can receive treatment with endobronchial valves, where one-ways are inserted into the bronchial system the let out some of the excess air, and thereby relieve breathlessness. The goal of this observational study is to investigate the effect of endobronchial valves on the mobility of the diaphragm in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If the movement of the diaphragm improves after treatment with endobronchial valves. - If there is a link between improvement of diaphragm function and improvement of symptoms, lung function and physical ability. - If ultrasound scan immediately after the treatment will predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. Participants will undergo ultrasound before, 1 day after and 90 days after the procedure, and lung function examinations from their already planned control visits will be collected.
Vapendavir (VPV) is a drug being developed to treat human rhinovirus (RV) infection, one virus responsible for the common cold. Vapendavir prevents the virus from entering cells and making more infectious copies of itself. A study is being planned to investigate VPV in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease making it difficult to breathe) who develop a rhinoviral infection; however, VPV has not been approved for use in treating any indication (disease) by the FDA or any other global regulatory agency. Therefore, VPV is considered investigational, and the study doctor is conducting this investigational research study. Safety will be monitored throughout the entire study.
This study is a prospective,multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. This study plans to enroll 375 participants who will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio. On the basis of basic treatment, one group will receive Xuanfei Baidu granule, while the other group will receive Xuanfei Baidu granule placebo, with one sachet in the morning and one in the evening, for a duration of 7 days. Visits will be conducted on days 7, 14, and 21 after enrollment. If any participant experiences an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring hospitalization during the treatment period, they will continue taking the medication until the 7-day course is completed. In case of a COPD exacerbation hospitalization event during the study, hospital admission date, duration of hospitalization, and the treatment regimen during hospitalization will be recorded.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of adding aminophylline to dexmedetomidine intravenous infusion intraoperatively on oxygenation and lung mechanics in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
The study plans to monitor around 300 people from different hospitals with COPD for a period of 3 months after they are discharged from the hospital using a smartphone app and a Fitbit device. This device can passively track certain health metrics; this way the research team can research whether it is possible to identify the early warning signs of a decline in health by using these ongoing measurements of vital signs and symptoms. This could allow doctors to intervene early and potentially prevent further deterioration in health decline and hospital admission altogether. The study seeks to investigate how similar these physiological measurements are when collected in the real world rather than just in the hospital setting, and what influence environmental factors have on a patient's health and experience of their condition.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 611 in Chinese adults with moderate to severe COPD.
