NCT04053634
Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a benralizumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD with a history of frequent COPD exacerbations and elevated peripheral blood eosinophils (≥300/μL). Eligible patients must have a history of ≥2 moderate and/or severe COPD exacerbations in the previous year despite receiving triple (ICS/LABA/LAMA) background therapy for at least 3 months and ICS-based dual inhaled treatment for the remainder of the year. Eligible patients must also have an elevated blood eosinophil count. The treatment period will be of variable duration and will continue until the last patient has the opportunity to complete a minimum of 56 weeks, at which point all patients will complete the study. The primary endpoint will be analyzed at Week 56.
NCT03856879
This study examines an intervention to promote effective, evidence-based care and de-implement inappropriate therapies for COPD in HIV-infected (HIV+) patients. The intervention facilitates specialist support of primary care, which includes infectious disease (ID) physicians who serve as the primary care providers (PCP) for their HIV+ patients in the ID clinic. Rather than relying on referral-driven specialty care which may be a barrier to access, pulmonologists will proactively support ID providers to manage a population of HIV+ patients with COPD, delivering real-time evidence-based recommendations tailored to the individual HIV+ patient in the form of an E-consult.
NCT05033990
This is an observational study of 1000 participants to further define the nature of early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in younger, at-risk individuals. The study has three main goals: * To use CT scan imaging to identify which smokers will develop COPD. * To identify biomarkers predictive of smokers that will develop COPD. * To determine if sputum (phlegm) can be analyzed to predict which smokers will develop COPD. Procedures (methods): All participants will undergo study related questionnaires assessing medical history, smoke exposure and use, medication use, social and behavioral health, pulmonary symptoms, food frequency, and will provide nasal swab, blood, stool, and urine samples, pulmonary function testing to determine function, sputum induction to provide a sputum sample for airway biospecimen analysis, and CT imaging of the lungs.
NCT04930289
The objective of this registry is to collect and evaluate various clinical effectiveness parameters in patients with transplanted donor lung that were preserved and transported within the LUNGguard system, as well as retrospective standard of care patients
NCT06533553
This is an open-label Phase II study assessing the PD of dexpramipexole 150 mg twice daily (BID) in participants with eosinophilic COPD. This study will help characterize the profile and duration of reductions of blood absolute eosinophil counts (AEC).
NCT04263532
The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the modified Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) A40 with Vector Algorithm to treat Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with excessive carbon dioxide in their bloodstream (hypercapnia) and expiratory flow limitation (EFL), a constriction of the lower airways. The study will include current users of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) as well as those who are not currently using an NIV device.
NCT06175065
AECOPD is a major cause of hospital admission and mortality. They contribute to long-term decline in lung function, physical capacity, and quality of life (QoL). RLS-0071 is a novel peptide being developed for the treatment of AECOPD. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RLS-0071 in the treatment of adults with moderate exacerbations of COPD.
NCT05204888
Parallel-group, prospective, randomized, controlled phase III trial of home High flow Nasal Therapy (HFNT) via myAirvo 3 plus usual COPD medical care vs. usual COPD medical care, for at least 1 year and up to two years in 642 GOLD Grade D, Stages II-IV patients with moderate to very severe COPD at risk for moderate and severe exacerbations with a prior history of severe exacerbation requiring hospitalization within the past 6 weeks.
NCT05611125
In prior work, this research team developed a telehealth primary care model (TIPC), designed in close partnership with patients and clinicians to address a widespread increase in telehealth use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers will test the TIPC intervention to assess palliative care (PC) support for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among a population of urban-dwelling, African American (AA) persons over the course of 15 months. The aims of this study are to 1) evaluate patient, caregiver, and clinical team perspectives of feasibility and acceptability of the TIPC model with urban-dwelling AAs with advanced COPD, and 2) explore the impact of TIPC intervention on knowledge and completion of advanced care planning (ACP) and on hospice and healthcare utilization patterns in the target population, as well as on additional quality of life (QOL) endpoints, and compare these between individuals participating in the intervention group and control group.
NCT02760329
The NOVEL Observational longiTudinal studY (NOVELTY) is an observational study of obstructive lung disease and is a multi-country, multi-centre, prospective, longitudinal cohort study which will recruit patients with a diagnosis, or suspected diagnosis, of asthma and/or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Patients will undergo clinical assessments and receive standard medical care as determined by their treating physician. Patients enrolled in NOVELTY will be followed up yearly by their treating physician for a total duration of three years. In addition, patients will be followed up remotely every 3 months. The NOVELTY study will collect data currently lacking to allow for multinational data collection to fill regional/local gaps and improve comparability across regions.

The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Study aims to characterize the pulmonary vascular changes and their biology in early COPD using imaging, gene expression profiling and peripheral cellular measures.
NCT00739648
Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) suffer from frequent and recurrent acute exacerbations (AECB) which are associated with enormous healthcare expenditures and significant morbidity, specifically an increased risk of death, a decline in pulmonary function and a significant change in quality of life. Bacteria appear to have an important role in acute exacerbations in chronic bronchitis and COPD. Studies of acute exacerbations in COPD have shown a reduction in bacterial load with prolonged exacerbation-free interval. In addition, recent studies indicate that acquisition of a new strain of H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, S. pneumoniae or P. aeruginosa are responsible for many of these exacerbations. Chronic inflammation and bacterial infection predispose many patients to frequent and recurrent acute exacerbations. Mpex believes that intermittent administration of inhaled MP-376 in high risk patients will decrease the incidence of acute exacerbations by both by lowering the organism burden, and resultant inflammation, as well as pre-emptive eradication of any newly acquired bacterial strains.
NCT06135324
INHALE is a one-year, multi-site observational research study funded by Viatris, with two aims: 1. Determine the prevalence of both cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity in stable out-patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 2. Assess the relationship of cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity with patient errors using current pMDIs, SMIs and/or DPIs.
NCT01558817
Outcomes after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are very poor, particularly in patients with oxygen dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or metastatic cancer. Recent work found that in-hospital CPR is being performed more often before death with unchanging survival and that fewer CPR survivors are being discharged home, thus suggesting that CPR is increasingly performed without benefit and that the burden of this ineffective treatment is increasing. Unlike other medical procedures, CPR has become the default provided to all patients even those with tremendously poor outcomes. It is time to change the paradigm of CPR. Through comparing an innovative "informed assent" approach toward in-hospital CPR (informing patients that their underlying chronic illness makes outcomes of CPR so poor that CPR is not performed while allowing them to disagree) versus usual care in a group of chronically ill patients with reduced life expectancy, the investigators aspire to demonstrate that CPR delivery can be reduced. And in addition that DNR status increases, while preserving patient quality of life and decreasing the burden of this ineffective treatment to both patients and families. If effective, this informed assent intervention has the potential to revolutionize how the investigators discuss CPR with the investigators chronically ill patients.
NCT02980575
This study is aimed at determining whether listening to music during exercise will improve health-related outcomes for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Half of the participants will listen to music while they exercise and half will not listen to music. The study will follow participants during their pulmonary rehabilitation program and for 6 months following completion of the program.
