Tracheobronchitis

This study tests an experimental nasal vaccine made from a harmless virus (Sendai virus) that is similar to the one causing croup. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps children ages 1 to 5 build protection against croup. About 54 children will receive the vaccine as nose dr…

This study tests whether a piece of donated aorta (the body's largest artery) can be used as a patch to repair severe windpipe or bronchial defects in children. The surgery is for kids who cannot have standard windpipe repair. Only 5 children will be enrolled, and the main goal i…

This trial tests whether giving antibiotics for a week is better than simply monitoring patients who develop ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis, a lung airway infection common in ICU patients on breathing machines. Researchers will compare how many days patients are free fro…

This study tests a new drug called verekitug in 666 people with moderate-to-severe COPD, a long-term lung disease that makes breathing hard. The goal is to see if it can reduce serious flare-ups and improve lung function compared to a placebo. Participants must be current or form…

This study looks at whether treating patients at home for conditions like infections, heart failure, diabetes, and COPD can lead to better health outcomes and satisfaction compared to traditional hospital stays. Nearly 10,000 adults will receive hospital-level care at home, inclu…

This study looks at whether people with COPD and chronic bronchitis who switch from regular cigarettes to a tobacco heating system feel better and breathe easier. About 290 adults aged 40 and older who have smoked for at least 10 years will take part. Researchers will measure cou…

Researchers in Uzbekistan are studying common respiratory and heart conditions in children from birth to age 15. They will analyze medical records and examine blood samples to understand immune and antioxidant function in affected children. The goal is to develop and test improve…

This study tests whether a diagnostic stewardship program—a set of guidelines to help doctors decide when to order respiratory cultures—can safely reduce antibiotic use in critically ill children on ventilators. Researchers will track changes in how often cultures are taken and h…

This large real-world study will follow 10,000 Italian patients with COPD to see how their treatments, flare-ups, and other health conditions affect their risk of death. Researchers will collect data on medications, lung function, and heart problems over time. The goal is to bett…

This project works to make sure children with common respiratory infections get the right antibiotics for the right amount of time. It involves over 259,000 kids across many clinics. The goal is to learn the best ways to help doctors follow antibiotic guidelines and reduce unnece…

This study tests whether giving patients an information sheet during a doctor's visit for a respiratory infection (like bronchitis, sinusitis, or sore throat) can lower antibiotic prescribing and improve communication. About 1,100 adults in Danish general practices will either re…

This study follows nearly 3,000 people with COPD (a chronic lung disease) over several years to understand how the disease progresses and what factors influence it. Researchers measure lung function, analyze mucus, and track environmental exposures like air pollution. The goal is…

This study is looking at over 10,000 smokers to find out if certain genes make some people more likely to develop COPD, a serious long-term lung disease. Participants are having their lung function tested and getting chest CT scans. The goal is to understand why some smokers get …
