Respiratory medicine focuses on conditions affecting the lungs and airways, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, pneumonia, and respiratory infections. These conditions can greatly impact a person’s quality of life, making even simple tasks like breathing a daily struggle.

Current treatments, such as inhalers, medications, and oxygen therapy, aim to manage symptoms and improve lung function. However, there remains significant potential for further advancements in this field. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches, including new medications targeting inflammation and airway constriction, advanced inhaler technologies for better drug delivery, and preventive measures like vaccines against respiratory infections. 

Additionally, studies are delving into the genetic and environmental factors contributing to respiratory conditions. These efforts aim to not only improve treatment outcomes but also to enable individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives with fewer limitations.

Momentum Clinical Research is proud to contribute to the advancement of respiratory medicine through our ongoing involvement in a diverse range of innovative studies aimed at improving treatment outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with respiratory conditions.

Our recent research has included studies looking at:

• Exploring the efficacy of an investigational combination of medications to prevent serious heart and lung issues in people with COPD.
• A new potential vaccine to prevent Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection in adults suffering from chronic illnesses such as asthma or diabetes. 
• An investigational medication delivered via injection, for people with eosinophilic asthma, in which an increase in white blood cells causes inflammation of the airways leading to severe asthma attacks. 
• An asthma study for teens aged 16+ and adults that looks at the effectiveness of a combination of three drugs delivered via inhaler compared to current treatments using two drugs to manage asthma symptoms. 
• An investigational treatment designed to raise serum AAT to normal levels for people with AATD Emphysema, an outcome that current treatments do not achieve.  
• A potential new asthma inhaler designed for individuals aged 4 years and older. It is intended as a rescue treatment for worsening asthma symptoms, combining two medications in a single inhaler.

These research studies are instrumental in helping to improve the lives of individuals with respiratory conditions, offering new possibilities for better management and enhanced well-being.
