NCT02272049
The goal of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe (xenon) gas MRI for regional assessment of lung function in a normal population of children and adults and in adults and also in children with respiratory compromise due to a variety of diseases.
NCT03894969
This study will provide information regarding the sequential administration of two vaccines adjuvanted with AS01. The aim of this study is to understand immunogenicity and safety of NTHi-Mcat vaccine when administered sequentially after Shingrix vaccine and to compare to the immunogenicity of NTHi-Mcat vaccine administered alone. This study will also provide information regarding whether a specific time period is required between the administration of these two different vaccines containing the same adjuvant- AS01 components. The population of this study will include healthy smokers and ex-smokers of 50 to 80 years of age which will be used as a proxy for the COPD population.
NCT03443427
The purpose of this study is to test two different vaccine schedules to be used for administering the investigational NTHi Mcat vaccine that will be targeting patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to prevent acute exacerbations. An acute exacerbation is when the breathlessness in COPD patients will get even worse than it normally already is, sometimes to the point where oxygen therapy is required. In previous studies, study participants have received two doses of the vaccine according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The current study will find out if a third dose of the study vaccine against NTHi/Mcat is safe and working well. The study will also investigate if the third dose of vaccine works best when given after 6 months or after 12 months.
NCT03281876
The purpose of this study is to test if the vaccine is working well in COPD patients aged 40 to 80 years old to reduce episodes of worsening symptoms ("exacerbations") and to gather further information on safety and immune response. In the current study, COPD patients with a history of acute exacerbations will receive 2 doses of the investigational vaccine or placebo intramuscularly according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The effect of vaccination against two pathogens known to cause exacerbations (Non-typeable Haemophilus influenza \[NTHi\] and Moraxella catarrhalis \[Mcat\]) will be evaluated at pre-defined timepoints (scheduled study visits). In addition to the scheduled study visits, additional study visit(s) and/ or phone contact(s) will take place for each acute exacerbation of COPD occurring from first vaccination up to study conclusion.
NCT01360398
The aim of this study is to generate epidemiological data to further explore determinants of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and the contribution of bacterial and viral pathogens to Acute Exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) episodes.
NCT01657526
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' NTHi candidate vaccine in adults, administered for the first time in humans.
NCT02658422
This study is conducted to determine whether the test product (GW483100 10 mg containing montelukast sodium equivalent to 10 mg of montelukast) is bioequivalent to the reference montelukast sodium 10 mg tablets (innovator product) in healthy adult volunteers under fasting conditions. This is an open-label, balanced, randomized, single dose, two-way crossover study, enrolling 32 healthy human subjects to ensure at least 28 subjects complete the study. Each subject enrolled will participate in two treatment periods separated by a washout period of at least 7 days and no more than 14 days between dosing occasions. Total duration in the study for each subject will be approximately 7 weeks from screening to the subject's last visit.
NCT00835003
The caesarean section rate is rising globally. About 10% of the newborns are submitted to a neonatal department after planned caesarean section, primarily with respiratory disorders. More children are submitted if caesarean is performed earlier in pregnancy. Study hypothesis: More newborns are admitted after planned caesarean at 38 weeks and 3 days of gestation than after 39 weeks and 3 days of gestation. Aim of study: To compare elective caesarean section performed at 38 weeks and 3 days of gestation with 39 weeks and 3 days of gestation. According to this timing to determine the proportion of newborns admitted within 48 hours after birth.
NCT01505582
Proprioceptive weighting changes may explain differences in postural control performance. In addition, the respiratory movement has a disturbing effect on postural balance. Postural balance seems to be impaired in individuals with respiratory disorders. Besides the essential role of respiration, the diaphragm may also play an important role in the control of the trunk and postural balance. Deficits in proprioception are found in a subgroup of patients with low back pain. In addition, disorders of respiration have been identified as strongly related to low back pain. The aim of the study is to clarify whether inspiratory muscle training has a positive effect on proprioceptive postural control in individuals with recurrent low back pain.
NCT01347411
The respiratory sleep disorders are a major cardiovascular risk factor. In fact there is enough scientific evidence that supports the association between apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SASH) and cardiovascular disease (hypertension, stroke, heart failure ....The objective of this study is to estimate the effectiveness of the continuous positive pressure airway (CPAP) in patient with chronic heart failure with normal ejection fraction but dyastolic dysfunction and sleep disordered breathing during the sleep.
NCT00455767
The study is aimed to assess safety of Depelestat treatment, as well as efficacy on prevention and treatment of alveolar inflammation in early pulmonary fibrosis in patients suffering from persistent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
