Filter by:The purpose of the Lung Institute is to collect and isolate a patient's own cells and platelet rich plasma (PRP) and deliver the product back to the patient same-day. Lung Institute's treatment is limited to self- funded patients with chronic lung disease - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). The patient's cells and platelet rich plasma are collected through venous harvesting. The hypothesized outcomes of Lung Institute therapy are safety and minimization of adverse events, a perceived improvement in the patient's lung condition (to be determined by their ability to be more physically active; walking greater distances with or without oxygen and improved quality of life scales), an improvement in the FEV1 among COPD patients, the ability to reduce their use of oxygen and possibly to stop it., the ability to function well without the use of rescue inhalers, reduction or ceasing of secondary pulmonary infections, reduction in emergency room visits and exacerbations related to their disease.
The proposed study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of once daily dosing of Liposomal-Amikacin for Inhalation (LAI) 590 mg for 12 months plus standard of care (SOC) mycobacterial multi-drug regimen in accordance with the 2007 ATS/ IDSA guidelines, for treatment of mycobacterium abscessus lung disease.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of pralsetinib (BLU-667) administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.
Danirixin (DNX) is a selective CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR2) antagonist being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of COPD. This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind (Sponsor Open) study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of danirixin compared with placebo in participants with COPD. Following baseline assessments collected over a 7 day period participants will be randomized (1:1:1:1:1:1) to receive one of five dose strengths of danirixin (5 milligram [mg], 10 mg, 25 mg, 35 mg and 50 mg) or placebo. Study treatment will be administered orally twice daily for 24 weeks. Participants will continue with their standard of care inhaled medications (i.e. long acting bronchodilators with or without inhaled corticosteroids) while receiving study treatment. Follow up will continue up to 28 days post last dose. Approximately 700 participants will be screened with a target of 540 participants completing 24 weeks of treatment and key study assessments.
COPD is characterized by an airflow limitation, which is not fully reversible, usually progressive and accompanied by chronic cough, sputum production and dyspnea, which can be a major cause of disability and anxiety associated with the disease. In addition, COPD is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pharmacologic therapy is used to improve lung function, reduce symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of exacerbations, and also to improve health status and exercise tolerance. This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, double dummy, 3-arm parallel group study to compare umeclidinium/vilanterol (62.5/25 microgram [mcg], once daily), umeclidinium (62.5 mcg, once daily), and salmeterol (50 mg, twice daily) in male and female subjects with COPD. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate improvements in lung function for subjects treated with UMEC/VI compared with UMEC for 24 weeks. Approximately 2424 subjects will be randomized across 3 parallel arms in 1:1:1 ratio. Subjects will be stratified based on long-acting bronchodilator usage during the run-in period (none, one or 2 long-acting bronchodilators per day). Subjects will receive either UMEC/VI inhalation powder (62.5/25 microgram [mcg] once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) and placebo twice daily via DISKUS® DPI; or UMEC (62.5 mcg once daily) administered via the ELLIPTA DPI and placebo twice daily via DISKUS DPI or salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily [BID]) administered via the DISKUS DPI and placebo once daily via ELLIPTA DPI. The duration of the study will be 29 to 31 weeks including a pre-screening period of 2 weeks, run-in period of 4 weeks, treatment period of 24 weeks and follow-up period of 1 week. ELLIPTA and DISKUS are trademarks of GSK group of companies.
This study aims to characterise the use of single-agent olodaterol and single-agent indacaterol, the only marketed long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA)s authorised for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but not for asthma, in clinical practice.
Assess the feasibility of using remote respiration rate monitoring as a component of home care, how respiration rate data may be used in combination with other data to potentially improve response to symptoms, and to generate data to inform the endpoints and effect sizes of future studies.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and hence, estimating its prevalence is important. Since 2007, there are few data on the prevalence of COPD in the general population in Spain. The main objective of this epidemiological observational study is to estimate the prevalence of COPD in residents of Spain among the population over 40 years of age. The subjects will be distributed in two groups depending on the presence and absence of COPD. The study will have a single visit in which a brief interview will take place and subjects will need to complete the medical tests the case report form with a series of questionnaires. No drugs will be administered in this study.
This is a phase II, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, complete block, three way crossover study to investigate treatment with nebulised RPL554 and tiotropium together in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this study is to assess the bronchodilator effect (opening of the airways) of RPL554 when used in combination with a long acting anti-muscarinic receptor antagonist (tiotropium) whilst dosing the RPL554 to steady state blood levels. It is planned to randomise up to 30 patients to have 24 evaluable patients at one study centre. In each treatment period, patients will receive an open label dose of tiotropium from a dry power inhaler (DPI) followed immediately by a double blind dose of either RPL554 6mg, 1.5mg or placebo (depending on treatment sequence) from a nebuliser in the morning on Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3. The dose of RPL554 or placebo will be repeated in the evening on Day 1 and Day 2Íž there will not be an evening dose on Day 3.
The purpose is to evaluate exercise performance in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) after supplementing with higher doses of dietary NO3-, compared to previous studies, as beetroot juice for seven days. The secondary purpose is to evaluate oxygen consumption of submaximal cycling, amendments in blood pressure, and physical activity level.
