Filter by:The objective of the present work is to explore and compare the diagnostic quality of sputum specimens obtained by BAL, induction with hypertonic saline (3%), and induction with INS316 in patients diagnosed with interstitial lung diseases.
The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate the higher efficacy of small particles Foster® 100/6 (two puffs b.i.d.) versus large particles Symbicort® 200/6 (two inhalations b.i.d.), in terms of residual volume reduction over a 12-week treatment period in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long term safety and efficacy of AeriSeal System treatment administered at up to 4 subsegments during a single treatment session for lung volume reduction in patients with advanced emphysema through 48 weeks after treatment.
This multicentric, randomized, double-blind and controlled study aims to examine the effect of a fermented dairy product containing the probiotic Lactobacillus casei DN-114 001 (Actimel® = tested product) on the incidence of respiratory and gastro-intestinal common infectious diseases (cumulated number of infections during the intervention period: primary criteria), and on the Quality of Life in adults submitted to multi-stressor situation. Volunteers received either 200g/day of tested product (N=121) or control product (N=118) for 7-weeks.
The primary objective of this study is to measure and compare the number of exacerbations (moderate or severe) between the two groups of randomized patients with and without thermal treatment). An exacerbation is defined by an increase in symptoms which justifies a unscheduled medical action: increased daily treatment and / or use of corticosteroids, and / or antibiotic therapy. Exacerbations are documented via prescriptions, hospitalisation reports or unscheduled visits.
The primary objective of this study is to identify biomarkers that can be used for evaluation of efficacy in subjects presenting with AECOPD
The purpose of this study it to determine whether the use of a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)-agonist (depot-leuprolide acetate) during cyclophosphamide (CYC) therapy in women with rheumatic diseases will provide greater ovarian protection than placebo.
The purpose of this research study is to perfect the technique of EVLP and learn about the safety of transplanting lungs that have been ventilated (attached to a breathing machine or ventilator to deliver oxygen) and perfused with a lung perfusion solution (Steen solution™, made by Vitrolife). This ventilation and perfusion will be done outside the body (ex-vivo) in a modified cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (the kind of device used routinely during most heart surgeries). The purpose of performing ex-vivo lung perfusion and ventilation (EVLP) is to learn how well the lungs work, and whether they are likely safe to transplant.
The objective of this study is to confirm superiority between a test treatment group using Endo GIA stapler with Duet Tissue Reinforcement System (TRS) and a current international standard of care group using a conventional stapler in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy surgery, using a randomized comparative study of the frequency of intraoperative air leak.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and PK profile of CC-930 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.
