Filter by:A first sub-analysis of the BACE trial will address physical activity levels in a subgroup of the intervention study with portable validated activity monitors.
The purpose of this trial is to discover whether providing feedback to patients from a device that records when and how well a patient uses a Seretide Diskus inhaler will lead to: - Improved compliance with prescribed inhaler use - Improved technique of inhaler use - A reduction in respiratory health related outcomes caused by poor inhaler compliance and usage. - An improvement in patient quality of life scores
This is a single cohort, prospective post approval study conducted on patients with COPD in Canada. The study will enroll patients that have not responded to their current treatment of tiotropium alone, or who are on the fixed dose combinations fluticasone propionate/salmeterol. Only patients for whom the physician has decided to change treatment due to lack of efficacy will be eligible to be enrolled in the study. Also will evaluate the real-life effectiveness of QVA149 (indacaterol 110 mcg/glycopyrronium 50 mcg) in the management of patients.
This research study compares two ways to biopsy lymph nodes in the chest using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration" (EBUS-TNBA). During a EBUS-TBNA procedure, the patient is sedated, and a flexible camera and ultrasound probe is inserted through the mouth into the large airways of the chest, allowing us to see (via ultrasound) and biopsy the lymph nodes in the chest. The purpose of this research study is to determine if the EBUS-TBNA procedure can be made simpler. In today's practice, the biopsy needle has two parts, 1) the needle itself and 2) an inner stylet that runs through the middle of the needle. Because many other biopsy needles (such as the needles used in breast biopsy and different types of lung biopsy needles) do not use an inner stylet, the investigators do not think the use of a stylet is necessary. If this step can be safely eliminated without decreasing the effectiveness of the procedure, this could shorten the procedure (saving time). This study is deigned to formally test the hypothesis that a stylet is not necessary in EBUS-TBNA.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ，the fourth leading cause of death in the world, represents an important public health challenge. It is also a major cause of chronic morbidity, mortality and disability throughout the world, leading to a heavy social and economic burden. For a long time, treatment of COPD mainly focus on drug therapy. Recently, pulmonary rehabilitation is recognized as a core component of the management of individuals with chronic respiratory disease, which has been clearly demonstrated to reduce dyspnea, increase exercise capacity, and improve quality of life. Exercise training, widely regarded as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation , is one of the best available means of improving muscle function in COPD.The most commonly form is cycle training. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) as an adjunct to exercise training has an additional benefit on inspiratory muscle strength, endurance and exercise capacity in patient with COPD. There is insufficient evidence demonstrate greater benefits from combined inspiratory muscle training and cycle training. This study will evaluate the effects of combined inspiratory muscle training and cycle training in patients with COPD.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the significance of KL-6 as a biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) by detecting serum KL-6 levels among patients with ILD, and comparing them to the clinical diagnostic criteria and other respiratory diseases. In addition, the study discusses the value of KL-6 levels in terms of ILD treatment effect evaluation through the detection of serum KL-6 levels before treatment and after treatment.
This is a Phase IIb, randomized, double blind, chronic dosing (28 days), four period, five treatment, incomplete block, crossover design in subjects with moderate to severe COPD. The overall objective is to demonstrate that the combination of budesonide (BD; PT008) and formoterol fumarate (FF; PT005) in a metered-dose inhaler (MDI); (BFF MDI; PT009) provides benefit on lung function compared with BD MDI in subjects with moderate to severe COPD.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether flutiform® is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Open clinical trial with 1 year follow up comparing the impact of an Early Respiratory Rehabilitation program with the conventional Respiratory Rehabilitation in COPD re-admitted patients. Outcomes will be exacerbations, symptoms, functional capacity and quality of life related to health (HRQOL).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHF 5259 (glycopyrrolate bromide) for the treatment of COPD patients.
