Safety and Efficiency of the YEARS Algorithm Versus Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography Alone for Suspected Pulmonary Embolism in Patients With Malignancy
The aim of this study is to prospectively validate the safety and efficiency of management according to the YEARS algorithm to safely rule out clinically suspected PE in patients with active malignancy to be compared with 'standard' management by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) alone in a randomized study.
A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Vixarelimab in Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and in Participants With Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of vixarelimab compared with placebo on lung function in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and in participants with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Participants who complete 52-weeks of treatment in the Double-blind Treatment (DBT) period can choose …
Symptoms and Functions in Patients With COPD and Chronic Bronchitis Switching From CIG to THS
The purpose of this randomized study is to demonstrate direct clinical benefit, i.e., observed benefits in how humans with COPD feel in terms of symptoms (e.g., cough frequency, shortness of breath, and other respiratory symptoms) and function (e.g., lung function, and six-minute walking test [6MWT]) after switching to THS compared …
Veterans Affairs Lung Cancer Surgery Or Stereotactic Radiotherapy
Patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer have been historically treated with surgery whenever they are fit for an operation. However, an alternative treatment known as stereotactic radiotherapy now appears to offer an equally effective alternative. Doctors believe both are good treatments and are therefore conducting this study to …
Substudy 01I: A Study of Investigational Agents in Participants With Previously Treated Stage IV Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01I/KEYMAKER-U01I)
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Squamous NSCLC is cancer that starts in squamous cells, which are flat cells that line the inside of the airways in the lungs. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. …
Catheter-directed Thrombolysis in Intermediate-high Risk Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Background: Intermediate-high risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains associated with substantial mortality despite standard anticoagulation therapy. Previous efforts to decrease mortality in these patients via administration of systemic thrombolysis have failed due to an increased rate of major bleeding complications. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) has already shown some promising results in …
Implementation of a Structured Post-pulmonary Embolism Follow-up Model
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), clinically presenting as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease and is associated with substantial short- and long-term morbidity and mortality and high costs of care. In addition negative physical and mental complications following VTE are common. However in terms …
Pulmonary Embolism International THrOmbolysis Study-3
In this study, we will assess the efficacy and safety of a reduced dose of thrombolytic therapy given in addition to low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with intermediate-high-risk acute pulmonary embolism. Half of participants will receive thrombolytic treatment, while the other half will receive a placebo.
The PEERLESS II Study
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of the FlowTriever System plus anticoagulation compared to anticoagulation alone for intermediate-risk acute PE.
Lung B.A.S.E.S. 4 Life Mobile Low-dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) Screening: Ages 40-54
Low-dose CT Screening has been shown in two large trials in the United States (NLST) and Europe (NELSON) to increase overall survival in subjects 55 years of age and older with a strong smoking history. Unfortunately, in both North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC), subjects are found to have …
