Oral Cyclosporine in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of oral Cyclosporine A (CsA) in patients with advanced stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CsA as a therapy for the adaptive immune response in advanced stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Subjects between 45 and 80 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of advanced stage COPD, not responsive to conventional inhaler therapy, who meet all the study requirements, will be enrolled in this study. A total of 30 subjects of either sex will be enrolled in this study.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
A disease of chronic diffuse irreversible airflow obstruction. Subcategories of COPD include CHRONIC BRONCHITIS and PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA.
Pulmonary Heart Disease
Hypertrophy and dilation of the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart that is caused by PULMONARY HYPERTENSION. This condition is often associated with pulmonary parenchymal or vascular diseases, such as CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE and PULMONARY EMBOLISM.
Bronchitis, Chronic
A subcategory of CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE. The disease is characterized by hypersecretion of mucus accompanied by a chronic (more than 3 months in 2 consecutive years) productive cough. Infectious agents are a major cause of chronic bronchitis.
Tiotropium Bromide
A scopolamine derivative and CHOLINERGIC ANTAGONIST that functions as a BRONCHODILATOR AGENT. It is used in the treatment of CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE.
Formoterol Fumarate
An ADRENERGIC BETA-2 RECEPTOR AGONIST with a prolonged duration of action. It is used to manage ASTHMA and in the treatment of CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE.
