Filter by:To further characterize the PleuraSeal Sealant System as compared to standard of care (sutures and staples only) in subjects undergoing an elective pulmonary lobectomy and segmentectomy via open thoractomy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability (effect of drug on body) and pharmacokinetics (effect of body on drug) of AZD9668 in patients with mild to moderate COPD
This study will involve the use of a new medicine called GW642444 being developed for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of the study is to see how safe and how well tolerated the study drug is when inhaled in two different formulations as a fine powder by asthmatic patients. In addition, the study is designed to examine the effect of the study drug on the lungs, how the study drug affects parts of the body other than the lungs and to see how the body affects the study drug when it is given in single doses.
This study will test whether lovastatin helps to modify lung inflammation in patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
This observational non-interventional study is designed to demonstrate the improvement of physical function in COPD patients on treatment with Spiriva Respimat and allows adverse events to be recorded and evaluated.
To evaluate SUN11031 for subcutaneous injection compared to placebo in subjects with cachexia associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to determine the effect on physical performance and body composition.
Gastric reflux into the oesophagus may further lung damage in respiratory disease. The proportion of adults with chronic lung disease and gastric reflux is unknown. Adults with this disease regularly complete physiotherapy but the contribution of physiotherapy to reflux is unknown. This study will measure gastric reflux in adults with chronic lung disease, using 24 hour acid monitoring. It is anticipated that approximately 50% of adults with chronic lung disease will have gastric reflux. After monitoring, the number of gastric reflux episodes will be calculated. The results will identify the extent of the gastric reflux problem in these patients and will enable appropriate medical treatment and modifications to physiotherapy, which may improve lung function and quality of life.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimum dose(s) of BI 1744 CL administered with 5 micrograms tiotropium bromide solution for inhalation, delivered by the Respimat inhaler, once daily for four weeks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study is the first administration of GSK610677 to man. The main aim of this clinical study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of different doses of the investigational medicinal product GSK610677. 2 cohorts of 8 subjects (Cohorts I and II) will be enrolled into this study. Individual subjects in each cohort will have up to 3 treatment periods. In each treatment period, subjects will receive a single inhaled dose of GSK610677 or placebo. Predicted doses are: 10, 30, 50 100 250 and 500ug.For individual subjects in each cohort, there will be a minimum wash out period of at least 10 days. In this period safety and tolerability data will be collected prior to dose to the next level.After safety review meetings between the site and the sponsor following the administration of the 500 ug dose, it was decided to add an extra cohort (Cohort III) of 8 subjects and administer 1000µg. Each subject in Cohort III will undergo a screening visit, one treatment period, and a follow up visit.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious respiratory disease in which the airways in the lungs are partially blocked, resulting in symptoms of chest tightness, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Currently, there are many available treatments for managing COPD symptoms and improving quality of life, including medications, lifestyle changes, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. For people with severe COPD that is characterized by very low blood oxygen levels at rest, long term oxygen therapy can help to prolong life and promote feelings of well-being. However, the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen therapy for people with COPD that is characterized by only moderately low blood oxygen levels at rest or normal blood oxygen at rest and desaturation on exercise is not known. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen therapy in treating people with COPD who have moderately low blood oxygen levels at rest or who have normal blood oxygen levels at rest, but have low or very low blood oxygen levels during exercise.
