  • 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.

    📍 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.
