The participants are being asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study, because the participants are scheduled to receive or have recently received a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) or a solid organ transplant (SOT). Primary Objective To determine if pre-transplant screening for respiratory viral load predicts RVI within 1- year post-transplant among survivors. Secondary Objectives: * To develop and validate a classifier based on pre-transplant immunological profile predictive of developing an acute respiratory viral infection (aRVI), with RSV/PIV3/HMPV/SARS-CoV-2 through one-year post-transplant among survivors. * To develop and validate a classifier based on Day +100 post-transplant immunological profiles predictive of developing an acute respiratory viral infection (aRVI),with RSV/PIV3/HMPV/SARS-CoV-2 through one-year post-transplant among survivors .
NCT07196917
To further explore the application prospects of integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine in chronic disease prevention and control and health management, this study intends to establish a large, prospective, integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine cohort in Hubei Province. This study will conduct long-term follow-up and multi-dimensional data collection to systematically reveal the associations between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution types and chronic diseases, the aging process, and multi-morbidity, thereby developing an integrated health management strategy with local characteristics. This study will fill the current gap in systematic evidence linking TCM constitutions to the prevalence of modern diseases, providing a solid demographic and biological foundation for the integrated development of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It will also contribute to meeting the needs for early disease warning, early intervention, and personalized care under the "Healthy China" strategic goal.
NCT06465654
Fibrotic lung disease is a group of severe scarring lung diseases with a dismal prognosis, often leading to respiratory failure and need for oxygen treatment. The symptom burden is often extremely high with dyspnea at rest and increasing dyspnea with exertion. Patients will often need more oxygen during activity thus repeatedly adjustments of oxygen flow rates are required to target an acceptable saturation at rest and during activities. This is impractical and can lead to an undesirable focus on oxygen levels as well as reduced use of the oxygen treatment in everyday life. There is an urgent need for oxygen equipment that is easy to use to help patients live a life with fever symptom-related restrictions. Closed Loop Oxygen Titration (CLOT) is a new type of optimized oxygen treatment, which automatically adjusts the oxygen flow rate to the exact amount needed for the patient. The CLOT has already been tested and found useful in patients with other lung diseases, however it has not yet been tested in an isolated group of patients with fibrotic lung disease. The goal of this clinical trial is therefore to study if automatically adjusted oxygen delivery can be useful for patients with fibrotic lung disease who needs oxygen treatment during activity. The main questions aimed to be answered are: Will participants experience less breathlessness during walking, when the oxygen supply is individually adjusted to maintain an acceptable level of oxygen saturation? Our hypotheses are that automatically adjusted oxygen dose during walking will results in less breathlessness compared to the usual fixed dose of oxygen. Furthermore, that participants will walk longer and maintain a better oxygen saturation during a walking test when offered automatically adjusted oxygen dose. Participants will perform two walking tests with both automatically adjusted and fixed dose oxygen in random order, and the difference in sensation of breathlessness will be compared between the two tests.
NCT07202299
Our study is a randomized controlled trial that compares two weaning protocols of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome who are ventilated on high frequency oscillatory ventilation in order to establish the best weaning strategy with the least complications possible for this group of patients.
NCT04617093
PrismaLung+ is intended to provide extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) as a standalone therapy or in combination with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study is a multi-centre, prospective, open-label, single-arm study. Adult patients with mild or moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation were planned to receive ultra-lung protective ventilation (ULPV) associated with ECCO2R using PrismaLung+. The study will assess the capability of PrismaLung+ to allow ULPV, defined as a tidal volume (VT) of 4 mL/kg of predicted body weight, and confirm the safety of PrismaLung+.
NCT05922891
This study assesses the impact of tezepelumab treatment not only on asthma control but also on cough specific Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). Asthma control can be evaluated using Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ). Cough symptom which is one of the symptoms related airway hyperresponsiveness can be assessed via the relevant questionnaire, Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ). There is moderate negative correlation between ACQ and LCQ . Improvements in both asthma control and cough symptom by tezepelumab would clarify effectiveness of Tezepelumab in real-world. Though Tezepelumab is recently approved in Japan, there is no real-world evidence on tezepelumab, particularly on above mentioned symptoms. Thus, this study aims to estimate effectiveness of tezepelumab on asthma and cough symptoms in real world settings.
NCT06560255
The overall aim of the study is to develop a nutritional preventive fish oil supplementation strategy in pregnancy for early childhood asthma/persistent wheeze during the first three years of life as we hypothesize that both supplementations in higher doses than recommended could reduce the risk of disease development.
NCT05089695
Multicenter, open label, three-arm randomized trial to assess the effect of helmet noninvasive ventilation vs. helmet continuous positive airway pressure vs. high-flow nasal oxygen on the rate of endotracheal intubation of patients with acute moderate-to-severe hypoxemic respiratory failure
NCT06210386
The optimal noninvasive management of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is debated. Helmet noninvasive ventilation may be more effective than facemask noninvasive ventilation for these patients. Putatitve benefits of helmet use are the possibility to apply significantly higher positive end-expiratory pressure without air leaks and with good patient's comfort. In this randomized crossover study, the investigators will assess the physiological effects of helmet compared to facemask noninvasive ventilation, with the latter applied with different ventilator settings (similar to or different from helmet settings).
NCT06483984
The objective of this randomized cross-over trial is to assess the physiological effects of three different facemasks for noninvasive ventilation (Nivairo, Visairo, Optiniv) in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure
NCT06149494
Vapendavir (VPV) is a drug being developed to treat human rhinovirus (RV) infection, one virus responsible for the common cold. Vapendavir prevents the virus from entering cells and making more infectious copies of itself. A study is being planned to investigate VPV in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease making it difficult to breathe) who develop a rhinoviral infection; however, VPV has not been approved for use in treating any indication (disease) by the FDA or any other global regulatory agency. Therefore, VPV is considered investigational, and the study doctor is conducting this investigational research study. Safety will be monitored throughout the entire study.
NCT05137132
Research has over decades showed that marine food carries nutritional characteristics that promote human health. As seen in epidemiological studies and based on in vitro and in vivo studies, it is hypothesized that unrefined salmon oil as dietary supplement have anti-inflammatory effect. However, there is sufficient preliminary data to indicate bioactive compounds effect for clinical use, and further clinical trials investigating effect are needed. This trial will investigate the potential anti-inflammatory effect in adults diagnosed with asthma.
NCT05536219
Type I interferons (IFN-I) production is induced by the detection of viral molecules, such as RNA or DNA viral strands, through pattern recognition receptors (PRR) present on many immune cell types. Despite a minimal concentration, IFN-I secretion activate the secretion, by neighbouring cells, of more than 700 proteins with antiviral properties (inhibition of viral replication, destabilization of virus membranes, etc.). IFN-I constitute therefore one of the major first line of defence established by the immune system in response to viral infection. Briefly, during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, several teams including ours, highlighted a lack of IFN-I response in approximately one in five individuals presenting a severe form of COVID-19. Interestingly, within a large part of them, in vitro investigations revealed the presence of autoantibodies presenting neutralizing capacities against alpha and/or omega interferons This finding confirms the deleterious role of anti-IFN-I autoantibodies on the antiviral immune response and the key role of IFN-I pathway regarding defences against COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, those observations pave the way to interesting research that would allow understanding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of severe viral respiratory infection. The research hypothesis are: i) IFN-I deficiency could induce severe forms of viral infections which could lead to intensive care admission ii) IFN-I deficiency could increase viral loads in nasopharyngeal samples, and be associated with protracted viral clearance iii) The frequency of viral co-infections may be higher in case of IFN-I antiviral pathway blockade, iv) severe forms of respiratory viruses' infections could be induced by other anti-cytokine autoantibodies. In addition to confirming research hypotheses recently mentioned, the aim of this clinical protocol will be to assess the impact of antiviral innate immune response alterations in severe respiratory infections.
NCT04170348
This study aims to answer the question whether daily oral vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk of respiratory or lung complications in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease. Respiratory problems are the leading causes of sickness and of death in sickle cell disease. The investigators hypothesize that daily oral vitamin D3, compared to monthly oral vitamin D, will rapidly increase circulating vitamin D3, and reduce the rate of respiratory complications by 50% or more within the first year of supplementation in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease. This study is funded by the FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD).
NCT06591533
The extubation process is critical to the future health outcomes of the pediatric patient because it tests the ability of the respiratory system to function without the support of mechanical ventilation. However, extubation can cause stress, pain, anxiety, or discomfort in the patients, which results in an increased likelihood of reintubation. Music therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and stress levels in ventilated adult patients, but studies evaluating the effect of music therapy on vital signs in pediatric patients during extubation are lacking. The aim is to determine the effect of music therapy on vital signs and heart rate variability of pediatric patients during extubation in in two high-complexity health care institutions in Colombia. This study is a Randomized clinical trial (RCT) with two parallel arms. The intervention group (IG) will receive standard care during the extubation process + music therapy and the control group (CG) will receive standard care only. The primary outcome measure is heart rate (HR) measured every minute for 5 minutes before extubation, during extubation, and up to 10 minutes after extubation. Secondary measures are: oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood pressure, duration of the procedure, number of reintubations, and heart rate variability.
NCT02809677
The investigators propose a one-year, repeated measures, within-subject design to examine the impact of improved caregiver depression on child asthma outcomes. A cross-lagged panel modeling (CLPM) for longitudinal data will be fit using a maximum likelihood structural equation model (SEM) in order to explore longitudinal mediation between asthma outcomes (asthma control, spirometry, quality of life (QOL)) and depressive symptoms. CLPM will test whether caregiver improvement preceded child asthma improvement, and SEM will test whether improved adherence and/or decreased child anxiety/depression mediated the effect. The investigators considered a randomized control trial, but it would not be ethically acceptable to withhold medication from caregivers diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) for the proposed one-year duration of the study. It is unlikely that potential participants in the study would find this acceptable. Furthermore a controlled design is not necessary since the investigators are not testing the efficacy of antidepressants for depression, but rather the impact of improvement on caregiver depression on the child.
NCT06033833
This is a study of amlitelimab for the treatment of participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. The study will have a double-blind treatment period until Week 24 for each participant and an open-label treatment period where each participant will receive open-label amlitelimab from Week 24 onwards. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of amlitelimab for the treatment of adult participants with moderate-to-severe asthma who have previously been enrolled and completed the treatment period of the parent study. The study duration will be up to 156 weeks. The treatment duration will be up to 144 weeks. The number of visits will be 18.
NCT05022264
The vital signs (pulse, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature) are critical in assessing the severity and prognosis of infections. The devices used today for measuring the vital signs have to be in physical contact with the patients. There is an apparent risk of transferring infections from one patient to the next (or to healthcare professionals). Accurately obtaining vital signs is also important when managing other categories of patients where it may be relevant to obtain some of the vital signs such as pulse and blood pressure. This project aims to evaluate a new camera-based system for contactless measurement of vital signs.
NCT03431493
More and more people are surviving after receiving life support for respiratory failure in the intensive care unit, but these patients often experience problems with depression and physical functioning that lead to reduced quality of life. There is a lack of treatment for these patients, with past research suggesting that treatment may be more successful if mental and physical health are addressed at the same time. This research evaluates whether a therapy delivered via telephone and home visits, combining treatment for depression and physical rehabilitation, is feasible and might help patients recover.
NCT07182695
Dyspnea is common and distressing in patients with acute respiratory failure. In our intensive care unit, some patients receive a cervical erector spinae plane (ESP) block to help relieve dyspnea. This study will observe patients who receive bilateral cervical ESP blocks and measure changes in dyspnea using validated scales at predefined time points over 24 hours. We will also track vital signs, arterial blood gas values, and diaphragm movement on ultrasound.
