Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, sputum production and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (e.g. bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that lead to persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction. It is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. …
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are risk factors for disease progression and short-term re- hospitalizations. We propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a one-device multiparameter telemonitoring in reducing functional decline, symptoms, and risk of re-hospitalization of patients discharged after hospitalization for exacerbated COPD.
A Study at Two Hospitals Testing the Safety and Effectiveness of the IAB 50 Flex, a New Implant for Adults with Severe COPD or Emphysema
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow restriction, due to airway and/ or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to harmful particles or gases, in particular cigarette smoking. Sleep disorders are common in society and it is not …
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 …
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.
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 …
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and activity of inhaled GDC-6988 in participants with muco-obstructive disease.
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, …
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 …
