SPR720-202, SPR720, for MAC Pulmonary Disease

Internal Medicine Pulmonology Lung Disease Adult Subjects

The purpose of the study is to evaluate

1. The microbiological response and clinical efficacy of SPR720 compared with placebo in participants with nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD).
2. The safety and tolerability of SPR720 in a participants population with NTM- PD
3. The pharmacokinetic (PK) of SPR719, active moiety, following orally (po) administered prodrug SPR720 in a participant population with NTM-PD.

Internal Medicine Pulmonology Heart and Vascular Pulmonary Hypertension Airway Disease Heart Disease Lung Disease Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

Researchers are looking for ways to treat pulmonary hypertension (PH) caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal of the study is to learn if people who take MK-5475 can walk farther in 6 minutes at Week 24 compared to people who take placebo.

Video Telehealth Pulmonary Rehabilitation to Reduce Hospital Readmission in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Internal Medicine Pulmonology Airway Disease Lung Disease Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a real time video telehealth pulmonary rehabilitation intervention with standard of care in patients hospitalized for an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to determine the impact on hospital readmissions and respiratory morbidity, and to investigate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention.

Lung Health Cohort for 25-35 year olds

Internal Medicine Pulmonology Lung Disease Healthy Subjects Adult Subjects

The ALA-LHC is a longitudinal, multi-center cohort study that will enroll approximately 4,000 young adults between the ages of 25-35 who do not have severe lung disease. The overarching objective of the ALA-LHC is to establish a national cohort of young adults for the purpose of defining lung health and developing targets to intercept chronic lung disease at its earliest stages.

The Effects of the CF Carrier State on the Kidneys and Pancreas

Internal Medicine Gastroenterology Pulmonology Endocrinology Nephrology Pancreas Lung Disease Diabetes Kidney Disease Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The overarching hypothesis is that CF carriers are at increased risk for developing most of the extrapulmonary conditions associated with CF compared to the general population. Specifically, it is hypothesized that this pilot data will detect subclinical evidence of pancreatic and kidney disorders among CF carriers. This will be determined by bringing CF carriers and controls to the CRU for one visit where they will answer survey questions and undergo laboratory testing. Additionally, they will collect urine and stool samples at home that will be sent to outside laboratories for testing.
