Filter by:The primary objective of this study was to compare the long-term (12-week) bronchodilator efficacy and safety of ipratropium bromide / salbutamol combination administered by the Respimat® 40 mcg / 200 mcg (one inhalation q.i.d.) to COMBIVENT Inhalation Aerosol (two inhalations q.i.d.), ipratropium bromide Respimat® (one inhalation q.i.d.) and Placebo formulations of each in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). An additional objective was to show the superiority of Combivent Respimat as compared to ipratropium bromide (40 mcg) Respimat. Steady state pharmacokinetics over one dosing interval following four weeks of therapy were also characterized.
A pharmaco-epidemiological, observational study that aimed at assessing in a prospective manner the evolution of Quality of Life (QOL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients treated with inhaled bronchodilators
This pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic dose-ranging study aims to determine the optimal dose of tiotropium inhaled as a solution from a Respimat device once a day for three weeks in patients with COPD.
The primary objective of this study was to investigate patients acceptability / preference of Berodual® Respimat® inhaler as compared to the conventional Berodual® Metered Aerosol (MA) inhaler. Ease of handling and assembling the Respimat® inhaler at home under real life conditions was also evaluated.
To demonstrate that at least one of the two doses of Berodual® (50 µg fenoterol hydrobromide/20 µg ipratropium bromide and 25 µg fenoterol hydrobromide/10 µg ipratropium bromide, 1 puff q.i.d) administered via the Respimat® gives a bronchodilator response which is not inferior to that obtained from one dose of Berodual® (50 µg fenoterol hydrobromide/21 µg ipratropium bromide, 2 puffs q.i.d) administered via the MDI and that the safety profile is at least as good when COPD patients are treated for 12 weeks.
The objective of this study is to compare the long-term (six month) bronchodilator efficacy and safety of tiotropium inhalation capsules, salmeterol inhalation aerosol and placebo inpatients with COPD.
Study to investigate the efficacy and safety of Ba679BR powder inhalation during the continuous once/day administration to the patients with COPD using oxitropium bromide (Tersigan® aerosol) as the comparator drug.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of tiotropium on gross muscular efficiency
The objectives were to collect information on vital status and pulmonary medication use at the predicted exit date for patients who participated in two one-year trials and withdrew prematurely. The primary objective was to ascertain the vital status (dead or alive) of these patients in the time interval between the patients' withdrawal from the trial and their predicted exit date (i.e: 48 weeks from first intake of randomised treatment + 30 days). The secondary objective was to collect information on classes of pulmonary medication and some other specified pulmonary interventions used by these prematurely discontinued patients at the time of their predicted exit date (i.e 48 weeks from the first intake of randomised treatment + 30 days) or at date of death (if this occurred during the time interval of interest, i.e 48 weeks from the first intake of randomised treatment + 30 days).
Post marketing Surveillance to gain insights into the effects of therapy with Spiriva® (tiotropium bromide) on health-related quality of life in COPD patients who stopped smoking during treatment and to obtain safety data regarding adverse events.
