Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
Nitric Oxide Bioavailability in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
More patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) die from cardiovascular disease than direct pulmonary complications.

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE, ASTHMA
Inhaler Lung Deposition in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience breathing difficulties because the airways deep in their lungs become narrowed. COPD patients use inhaler drugs to provide relief from breathlessness.

- Trial name
- NCT01721291
- Testing
- SALBUTAMOL
- Where
- United Kingdom
- Volunteers

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Comparison of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation and Exercise on Quadriceps Function in COPD
Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients develop leg weakness and a reduced walking capacity, due to reduced leg muscle oxygen-utilising capacity (OUC).
- Trial name
- NCT00737698
- Testing
- Exercise, Repetitive magnetic stimulation
- Where
- United Kingdom
- Volunteers
- 86 people, healthy volunteers welcome

COPD
Imaging Regional Lung Defect Severity
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using inert perfluorinated gases mixed with oxygen for regional assessment of pulmonary function.
- Trial name
- DIAL1001004 (NCT01640288)
- Testing
- Perfluorinated Gas/Oxygen Mixture, High Resolution CT of the Chest

COPD, Emphysema
Leukocyte Function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms whereby leukocytes are recruited to the lung in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cause tissue destruction.
- Conditions
- COPD, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis
- Trial name
- NCT00147082
- Where
- United Kingdom
- Volunteers
- 100 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor

Asthma, COPD
Leukocyte Function in Asthma and COPD
The aim of this study is to examine the inflammatory mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory lung disease, in particular to compare the inflammatory profile seen in asthma and COPD.
- Conditions
- Asthma, COPD, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis
- Trial name
- NCT00147069
- Where
- United Kingdom
- Volunteers

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Functional Applications of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI
The overall objectives of our study are to determine the capabilities of hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI to measure lung function and its potential to sensitively detect pulmonary disease and its progression in COPD.

The Natural History of Small Airways Physiology in Diseased and Healthy States
Spirometry is a useful clinical tool for the assessment and monitoring of lung disease, however, it does not provide information on peripheral airways resistance.
