43 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a comparison of uncuffed endotracheal tube (UCETT) vs. no endotracheal tube (ETT) in endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) procedure under moderate sedation in terms of procedure tolerance, duration of the procedure, desaturation, amount of sedation medication usage.
This study will assess the bronchodilator effects of multiple doses of QAX028 at two different dose levels when compared to tiotropium and placebo in a COPD population.
This is a prospective, observational cohort study. Participants with non-idiopatic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease (ILD) will be followed for 24 months to systematically collect clinical, imaging, and biospecimen data. The primary objective is to optimize progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) classification and establish PPF incidence for key ILD subtypes. Additional exploratory objectives are to 1) Prospectively validate a novel PPF classifier and assess performance durability over time, and 2) Determine whether multi-dimensional PPF prediction outperforms component approaches.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD8965 via single and multiple ascending doses in healthy participants (including Japanese and Chinese participants), and to assess the effect of food on the safety, tolerability, and PK of orally administered AZD8965.
This is a multi-center randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of an air cleaner intervention aimed at improving indoor air quality on reducing COPD exacerbation risk and improving quality of life, functional status, rescue medication use.
Lung transplant is an option for treating end-stage lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). In the United States, more people with CF and low lung function die each year than undergo lung transplant. More than half of people with CF who die without a lung transplant were never referred for consideration. Patient preference not to undergo lung transplant may account for 25-40% of decisions to defer referral. Rates of death without transplant are higher for people with CF who are members of marginalized communities, including those with Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, or low socioeconomic status. Increasing awareness of lung transplant among people with CF, and promoting understanding of the risks and benefits of transplant, can potentially reduce the number of people with CF who die without a lung transplant. The CF Foundation (CFF) lung transplant referral guidelines were developed to optimize the timing of referral for lung transplant. These guidelines recommend annual conversations with people with CF once their forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is \<50% predicted. Considering lung transplant as a treatment option before it is medically needed will allow more time to learn about lung transplant and address any barriers to lung transplant that may exist. Investigators are interested in understanding how people with CF use lung transplant educational resources and how one prepares for having discussions and/or making decisions about lung transplant as a treatment option for advanced CF. The purpose of this study is to test whether a research website improves patient preparedness for discussions about lung transplant. Investigators also aim to understand whether there are unique factors that affect people with CF from communities with decreased access to transplant ("communities of concern"). Study involvement will span 6 months and study activities will involve the following: * Four Zoom research sessions (15-30 minutes each) * Survey assessments * Access to a research website that contains educational resources about lung transplant * Audio recording of a routine CF clinic visit to determine if and how lung transplant is discussed between a participant and his/her/their CF doctor
The purpose of this study is to determine if a liquid biopsy, a method of detecting cancer from a blood draw, combined with a PET/CT scan, a type of radiological scan, is better at determining whether a lung nodule is cancerous when compared to a PET/CT scan alone. A PET/CT scan is already used for diagnosis of lung nodules, but its efficacy is uncertain in nodules 6-20 mm in size. Therefore, the PET/CT will be evaluated for its diagnostic ability in lesions this size alone and in combination with a liquid biopsy. Secondarily, a machine learning model will be created to see if the combination of the PET/CT imaging data and the liquid biopsy data can predict the presence of cancer.
Researchers are trying to test the effectiveness and feasibility of a multicomponent lifestyle intervention to support weight loss decreases dyspnea in obese people with chronic lung disease and clinically significant breathlessness.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of multiple dose levels of AZD7594 administered once daily (QD) by inhalation in a 12-week treatment period on asthma subjects. The activity will be assessed by comparing AZD7594 to placebo. The comparison between active comparator (FF) and placebo will be used for bench marking. The efficacy is assessed by the evaluation of change in trough forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). The aim is to develop AZD7594 as a once daily inhaled non-steroidal selective GR modulator (SGRM), which may ultimately lead to better disease control of both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma through improved efficacy and compliance. The overall rationale for developing a once daily AZD7594 in a dry powder inhaler (DPI) is to provide a safe and effective future treatment option for both asthma and COPD subjects.
The overall objective of this study is to determine the impact early nutritional and respiratory indices have on early CF lung disease. This knowledge will guide clinical management of infants with CF, who are now primarily diagnosed through newborn screening.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate lung function and health related quality of life (HRQoL) after 84 days of treatment with a single inhaler triple therapy combination of FF/UMEC /VI \[100/62.5/25 microgram (mcg)\] once daily via ELLIPTA® compared with a multiple inhaler combination therapy of Symbicort Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) (budesonide/formoterol 320/9 mcg) twice daily plus Spiriva HandiHaler (tiotropium 18 mcg) once daily. The study will inform healthcare providers that subjects can be effectively and safely switched to FF/UMEC /VI single inhaler therapy from a multiple inhaler triple therapy regimen of Symbicort MDI and Spiriva Handihaler. Eligible subjects will enter a 4-week run-in period during which they will be administered budesonide/formoterol (320/9 mcg) twice daily plus tiotropium (18 mcg) once daily plus placebo via ELLIPTA. Following the run-in period, subjects will be randomized to receive one of the following study treatments for 84 days: 1) FF/UMEC /VI 100/62.5/25 mcg via ELLIPTA once daily in the morning plus two inhalations of placebo to match budesonide/formoterol via MDI, twice daily plus placebo to match tiotropium via HandiHaler once daily in the morning or 2) Budesonide/formoterol 320/9 mcg via MDI, twice daily plus tiotropium 18 mcg via HandiHaler once daily in the morning plus placebo via ELLIPTA once daily in the morning. Subjects will then enter a one week follow-up period. The total duration for a subject in the study will be approximately 17 weeks.

Hyper polarized xenon-129 MRI (HXe MRI) is a unique imaging test which can detect how air is flowing in and out of lungs and how oxygen can move from inhaled air into the blood. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease in which patients develop narrowing of airways, thus, having difficulties breathing air in and out their lungs and also damaging the lung tissues which patients need to move oxygen from the air into blood. In this study, two drugs which are already approved by FDA (Anoro and Arnuity) will be administered to patients who are already known to have COPD. While patients are being treated with these two drugs (one drug at a time over a month), lung health by using usual testing methods (CT scan of the lung, pulmonary function test, and blood test) will be assessed in addition to HXe MRI. The goal of this study is to prove that the HXe MRI is an excellent imaging test to show the state of lung health among COPD patients and also to obtain new informations on how lung health changes with drugs that are already approved by US FDA. This work is anticipated to help develop HXe MRI as a new clinical test which can guide how to treat patients with COPD and if new therapies can improve lung health of patients with COPD.
This is an open-label,partially randomized, four-period study in healthy male subjects to assess the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of AZD7594 when administered intravenously, orally and inhaled via two different dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and a pressurized meter-dose inhaler (pMDI)

This study will examine whether five drugs (pravastatin, Losartan, Zileuton, N-acetylcysteine and erythromycin) used together can slow the course of pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lung tissue) in patients with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS). Patients with this disease have decreased skin color (albinism), bleeding problems, and sometimes colon problems. Two of the known types of Hermansky Pudlak syndrome, type 1 and type 4, are at high risk of pulmonary fibrosis between the ages of 30 and 50. Patients 18 to 70 years of age who have Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome with a serious loss of lung function due to pulmonary fibrosis may be eligible for this study. Participants begin taking pravastatin on study day 2 and start a new drug every 3 days. Patients who experience no problems with the medicines return home and continue on the drugs for the next 2 years. They return to the NIH Clinical Center every 3 months for a medical history, physical examination, and blood, urine and lung function tests. CT and bone density scans are done every year. The study may continue for up to 3 years.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the degree of improvement in lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after treatment with tiotropium inhalation capsules compared to salmeterol inhalation aerosol .

This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions.
