Filter by:This study will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of inhaled GSK573719 and GSK573719/vilanterol combination in healthy subjects and in subjects with severe renal impairment. The results of the study will provide guidance on the use of this product in subjects with severe renal impairment.
By including in this study patients with significant worsening of their lung volumes and / or their DLCO (carbon monoxide diffusing capacity) in the previous year, on the basis of an open retrospective study we recently conducted, we hope to demonstrate that a strategy combining prednisone and intravenous cyclophosphamide therapy is accompanied by an increase in the frequency stabilization / improvement of lung volumes and / or DLCO of patients at 12 months of 15% in the placebo and prednisone cyclophosphamide 50% in cyclophosphamide and prednisone.We also hope to demonstrate significant decrease in the number of patients excluded for failure in the CYC arm as compared to the placebo arm.
The overall objective of this study is to determine an optimal dose and dosing regimen of PT001 MDI for further evaluation in later stage studies.
This study will assess of the efficacy and safety of a once-daily, 50µg inhalation of NVA237 in moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients over 26 weeks treatment.
This study will investigate the serum level of vitamin D, magnesium and calcium in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to evaluate the impact of vitamin D, magnesium and calcium on lung function in COPD-patients.
Muscle weakness and atrophy are important consequences of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although resistance exercises increase strength and muscle mass in patients with COPD, the response to training appears to be suboptimal in these individuals. A dysregulation in the signaling pathways involved in the regulation of muscle mass could play an important role in this phenomenon. Hypothesis: Proteins involved in muscle mass regulation will be less activated in the quadriceps of patients with COPD following the acute bout of resistance training exercise compared to healthy age-matched controls.
The primary objective of the trial is to determine the 24-hour FEV1-time profile of tiotropium + olodaterol FDC, administered once daily by the RESPIMAT Inhaler after 6 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of indacaterol with salmeterol /fluticasone propionate treatment in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who, on entry to the study are being treated with salmeterol /fluticasone propionate.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of two staggered dose levels of inhaled once daily AZD5423 or twice daily budesonide for 12 weeks in COPD patients on a background therapy of formoterol.
Many studies have evaluated the viability of measuring the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) by non-invasive methods in patients with pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary thromboembolism, ischemic cardiopathy and valvular disease. The investigators have not found other studies which evaluate the PVR in elderly patients with COPD. The hypothesis is that in patients with COPD, the severity of obstruction, expressed by GOLD class, is associated with an increase of PVR.
