Filter by:Evaluate subjects in an prospective randomized controlled trial in which subjects will be administered scientifically validated questionnaires to determine the effect of the education and case management by Respiratory Therapists (RTs) on improvements in: health outcomes and quality of life as primary endpoints Utilize: Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ) The secondary endpoints will be: Rate of exacerbation's, Health care utilization (emergency room encounters, hospital admissions)
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple infusions of andecaliximab (formerly GS-5745) in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as assessed by adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities.
This purpose of this study is to obtain inhalation profiles in subjects with very severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This is a study with no investigational medicinal product. Each subject will attend the clinic on 2 occasions, initially for a screening visit and then for further assessments if included (Visit 1). The maximum time that a subject may be enrolled in the study is 33 days from the screening visit to follow up.
This is a longitudinal observational study to identify and validate protein biomarkers for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases) and cardiovascular disease in smokers and ex-smokers attending primary care. Special emphasize is to correlate biomarkers to different phases of COPD, to progression of the disease, and to treatment of the disease. Furthermore, linkage between COPD, cardiovascular disease, and lung cancer will be investigated by identifying protein biomarkers.
The objective of this study is to compare the sample size, architectural preservation and diagnostic yield of bronchoscopic cryo-probe transbronchial lung biopsy (C-TBBx) in comparison to bronchoscopic standard transbronchial lung biopsy (S-TBBx) and Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) lung biopsy for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD).
The purpose of this Phase II study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the investigational Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) vaccine in patients with moderate and severe persistent airflow obstruction.
Demonstrate that IMT associated with a conventional pulmonary rehabilitation program allows a significant improvement of dyspnea in subjects with severe or very severe COPD than a conventional pulmonary rehabilitation program alone.
The overall objective of this study is to demonstrate that the IntellO2 device providing automated control of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) adjustments in spontaneously breathing infants with fluctuating arterial blood oxygen saturation levels is safe and efficacious in the routine clinical environment. Specifically, it is hypothesized that the IntellO2 will perform as well or better than standard practice for maintaining infants' arterial blood oxygen saturation in a target range while minimizing the exposure to elevated levels of oxygen in the inspired gas.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, prospective, randomized study of intravenous (IV) ceftolozane/tazobactam versus IV meropenem in the treatment of adult participants with either ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) or ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP). The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of ceftolozane/tazobactam versus meropenem in adult participants with ventilated nosocomial pneumonia (VNP) based on the difference in Day 28 all-cause mortality rates in the Intent-to-treat (ITT) population using a non-inferiority margin of 10%.
To evaluate in patients with stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) the efficacy of statins (simvastatin) on: (1) endothelial function; (2) systemic inflammation; (3)BODE (B: body mass , O: bronchial obstruction, D: dyspnea and, E: exercise tolerance) index; (4) Uric acid; and, (5)vascular growth factors. Design: a 12 weeks randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo control study. Population: 18 males with stable COPD between 40-80 years of age, exsmokers, with Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) between 30 and 80% predicted post-bronchodilation.
