Tadalafil for Severe Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
ERASE PH-COPD is a randomized double-blind study, with 2 parallel groups. Patients with severe pulmonary hypertension due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, will be randomly assigned to receive Tadalafil orally or placebo.
Time of Exercise Re-training With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for reducing hospital readmissions, secondary events, and mortality in patients with respiratory pathologies. The program should not be improved by introducing new subjects such as circadian rhythm.
The Effect of Interval Exercise on Functional Outcomes in Veterans With COPD and OSA
The term "Overlap Syndrome" (OS) is used to describe the presence of both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a single patient. Due to premature aging, patients with OS are prone to developing functional decline up to 20 years earlier than the general population. The …
Exploring Novel Biomarkers for Emphysema Detection
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether voice or capnometry, alone or in combination with other (non invasive) biomarkers can be used to detect emphysema on chest CT-scan in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Can a …
Kingston Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Multidimensional Long Term Follow up Cohort
Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary (COPD) patients are the paradigm of the chronic complex patient. Their follow up can sometimes be difficult and challenging (1). There are patients with recurrent exacerbations that put an enormous burden on health care resources (2). They also have multiple comorbidities (3) that can sometimes make …
Zephyr Valve Japan Post-Marketing Surveillance
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational surveillance enrolling 140 consecutive patients with severe emphysema who are candidates for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction using Zephyr Endobronchial Valve at up to 20 centers across Japan and followed for 12 months.
Effect of Elastic Chest Compression on Functional Exercise Capacity and Respiratory Performance in Patients With COPD
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of elastic chest compression on functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance of patients with COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there difference in functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance without or with the use of …
Inhaled Treprostinil (Tyvaso Nebulizer) For COPD Patients With Hypoxemia
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether inhaled Treprostinil (Tyvaso) can improve oxygen delivery and blood flow in the lungs in adults (age ≥40) with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypoxemia who have less severe reduction in lung blood volume (diffusing capacity of the lungs for …
Validation of the French Version of the QASCI in Caregivers of Patients With COPD
This study aims to validate the French version of the QASCI questionnaire, initially written and validated in Portuguese language by Hipolito et al., to assess caregiving burden in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The realization of this validation is significant on several levels. First, since COPD is a systemic condition, …
D-RSBI Versus RSBI for Predicting Weaning Success in COPD Patients
This prospective observational cohort study aims to compare the predictive accuracy of diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) versus traditional rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) for predicting weaning success from invasive mechanical ventilation in COPD patients. Diaphragmatic ultrasound measurements will be performed during spontaneous breathing trials, and patients will be …
