COPD affects the lungs and refers to a group of diseases including both Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis. COPD results in symptoms that can include frequent coughing, trouble breathing, chest tightness, wheezing and fatigue.
COPD is usually the result of being a smoker or having a history of smoking, however, others at higher risk include workers who have had prolonged exposure to things like harsh chemical fumes or air-borne particles, for example. Regardless, a persistent cough (with or without mucus) can be a sign.
Medications for COPD exist, but many of those with moderate-to-severe disease take more than one to control symptoms. So, some may find it hard to take them correctly, while others may feel that they aren’t working well enough. Still others may prefer taking a pill or getting a periodic shot over using inhalers
People may not give much thought to clinical research, but everything from aspirin to chemotherapy has been carefully tested before being prescribed by your doctor.
Clinical trials need human volunteers, who participate under the supervision of a doctor and/or health professionals. As the trial goes on, the doctors gather more and more information about the medicine or treatment under investigation. It is only through clinical trials that we learn if medicines and treatments are both effective and safe.
Dedicated to conducting clinical trials, Synexus have been investigating the effectiveness of new medicines and treatments for more than 25 years. We have vast experience in conducting clinical research with over 180 sites around the world. Each has its own dedicated team of highly trained doctors and nurses to provide our patients with the highest level of comfort and professionalism.
