Long-term Effects of Endobronchial Valve Implantation on Cardiac Function and Skeletal Muscle Function
The goal of this type of study: clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of bronchial valve implantation on cardiac function and skeletal muscle function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The main question it aims to answer are:evaluate the effect of bronchial valve implantation on cardiac function and skeletal muscle …
Comparison of Bronchodilator Response From Three Different Aerosol Delivery Methods in Patients With COPD Using Hyperpolarized Xe 129 MRI Ventilation Imaging
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare responses to bronchodilator treatment delivered by three different aerosol delivery methods in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main question it aims to answer is whether there are differences in lung ventilation following treatment with each of the three …
Tissue Regeneration in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease After an Exercise Intervention.
The main objective of this project is to identify mechanisms for lung regeneration in patients with COPD induced by exercise training. The hypothesis is that adjusted exercise training improves disease outcome in these patients by decrease remodelling processes linked to oxidative stress, inflammatory and/or immunological pathways in the lung. Along …
Comparison of Corticosteroids vs Placebo on Duration of Ventilatory Support During Severe Acute Exacerbations of COPD Patients in the ICU
The main objective of this study is to determine if the systemic (intravenous) administration of corticosteroids, as compared to placebo, increases the number of ventilator-free days (VFD) and alive at day 28 in COPD patients admitted to an ICU, a step-up unit or a respiratory care unit for an ACRF …
Functional Social Support in COPD Self-Management
This observational study aims to examine how different types of functional social support (emotional/informational, tangible, affectionate, and positive social interaction) predict self-management capacity among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study includes a quantitative cross-sectional survey and qualitative semi-structured interviews (N=20) to explore barriers and facilitators to adequate …
Incident Chronic Obstructive pulmoNary dIsease Cohort Study (ICONIC)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), , secondary to smoking, is a major public health issue with very high direct and indirect costs. The impact on the health system of undiagnosed patients, up to 70% of patients, is increasingly documented. However, systematic spirometry screening remains controversial among smokers in the absence …
Ventilation Distribution in COPD Patients During Breathing Exercises
ELTGOL (Slow Expiration with the Opened Glottis in the Lateral posture) is an airway clearance technique performed in the lateral decubitus position. This technique focuses on optimizing ventilation of the infralateral lung (when the subject is lying in the lateral posture) to enhance local air-liquid interaction. Previous studies on ventilation …
Safety and Efficacy of Endobronchial Valve for Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Surgery: a Prospective Pilot Study
The goal of this pliot study al is to preliminarily evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transbronchial lung volume reduction surgery using the self-devloped endobronchial valves for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with emphysema phenotype . The main questions it aims to answer are: Does self-devloped endobronchial valves improve the …
A Study to Investigate the Effect of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dose Inhaler (BGF MDI) Compared With Placebo MDI on Heart and Lung Function in Participants With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of BGF MDI compared with placebo MDI on cardiac and lung function when administered in participants diagnosed with COPD and hyperinflation.
Biological Effects of Quercetin in COPD Phase II
This study determines whether quercetin supplementation reduces the inflammation and oxidative stress markers in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is small study with 8 subjects receiving quercetin 1000 mg/day, 8 patients receiving 500 mg/day and 4 subjects receive placebo.
