  • COPD (chronic lung disease)

    Genetic Variation in IgG in Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

    Testing how a genetic change in alpha-1 antitrypsin affects immune and lung responses to a pneumonia

    📍 University of Alabama at Birmingham · Birmingham, AL · Get directions →

    The goal of this study is to learn whether patients who have a genetic mutation in the genes that cause alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency also have genetic variation in nearby genes that can increase risk for reduced immune function and respiratory infections. To investigate this hypothesis, we will compare immune responses to the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20, Pfizer) between participants who have one abnormal copy of the SERPINA1 gene and either no COPD exacerbations, vs those with 2 or more COPD exacerbations in the past year.

  • COPD (chronic lung disease)Asthma

    The Effects of Positive Airway Pressure on the Mucolytic Effects of NAC (TEAM)

    Testing whether positive airway pressure helps a lung medicine (NAC) reach mucus plugs in asthma or

    📍 UCSF Airway Clinical Research Center · San Francisco, CA · Get directions →

    The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if positive pressure during inspiration will improve penetration of aerosolized N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) into airway mucus plugs in the lungs of patients with asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does delivery of aerosolized NAC with positive inspiratory pressure have a greater effect on mucus plug burden in the lungs than delivery of NAC without positive pressure.

  • Type 2 diabetesHeart / cardiovascular disease

    Acute and Chronic Effects of Oral Ketones in Subjects With HFrEF and Diabetes

    Testing how drinking ketone drinks affects heart function in people with type 2 diabetes and heart

    📍 University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio · San Antonio, TX · Get directions →

    This study will provide insight into whether cardiac function changes with oral Ketone Esters (KE) administered to patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Plasma ketones are avidly extracted by cardiac muscle and their uptake is not dependent upon insulin or influenced by insulin resistance.

    This phase IV randomized controlled clinical trial intend to compare the effect of three close standard inhaled triple therapies and one close standard inhaled double therapy on the small airway in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD-B) and chronic bronchitis without obstruction (BCNO) exposed to wood smoke. The treatment phase duration is of 3 months.

  • COPD (chronic lung disease)

    Compare the Effects of Nebulizer Versus Inhaler Based Therapy for COPD Using Long-acting Bronchodilators

    Comparing nebulizer and inhaler treatments for COPD symptoms

    📍 The University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine · Knoxville, TN · Get directions →

    The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of inhaled bronchodilators delivered via nebulizers vs. dry powder inhalers (DPIs) in symptomatic participants with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have airflow obstruction (FEV1/FVC ≤ 70%) and show significant air trapping (RV ≥ 120% of predicted).
