There are 3 clinical trials
Since the infectious aetiology of AECOPD has been suggested to vary according to geographical region, the primary purpose of this study (which will be conducted in several countries in Asia Pacific) is to evaluate the occurrence of bacterial and viral pathogens in the sputum of stable COPD patients and at the time of AECOPD. Given the increasing and projected burden of COPD in the Asia Pacific region, this study will also evaluate the frequency, severity and duration of AECOPD, as well as the impact of AECOPD on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), healthcare utilisation and lung function.

Time: Over the course of 1 yearDescription: The proportion of sputum samples obtained at each confirmed stable visit and positive for bacterial/viral pathogens by bacteriological methods and PCR, respectively (overall and by bacterial / viral species) will be computed with 95% confidence intervals by Gold grade at enrolment.
Measure: Occurrence of potential bacterial and viral pathogens (overall and by species) in sputum of stable COPD patients by GOLD grade. Time: Over the course of 1 yearDescription: The following incidence rates will be computed, with 95% confidence intervals (CI): All-cause AECOPD. AECOPD having sputum containing bacterial pathogens found by PCR or by bacteriological methods or by both methods (overall and by, but not limited to, the following bacterial species: H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa). The 95% CI of the incidence rate will be computed using a model which accounts for repeated events. The incidence rates described above will also be computed for mild, moderate severe AECOPD and by GOLD grade at enrolment.
Measure: Incident rate (per subject per year) of any AECOPD overall and by GOLD grade. Time: Over the course of 1 yearDescription: Classification of severity according to the intensity of medical intervention required: mild: controlled with an increase in dosage of regular medications; moderate: requires treatment with systemic corticosteroids and/ or antibiotics; severe: requires hospitalisation.
Measure: Number of mild, moderate or severe AECOPD overall and by GOLD grade. Time: Over the course of 1 yearDescription: Descriptive statistics (median, mean, range, standard deviation, first and third quartiles) on the number of days of AECOPD episodes will be presented.
Measure: Number of days of AECOPD episodes overall and by AECOPD severity. Time: Over the course of 1 yearDescription: Descriptive statistics (median, mean, range, standard deviation, first and third quartiles) on the CAT scores will be tabulated at each respective visit.

Measure: Evaluate the usability of the application Time: 14 daysThis phase III trial compares the effect of adding tocilizumab to standard of care versus standard of care alone in treating cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. CRS is a potentially serious disorder caused by the release of an excessive amount of substance that is made by cells of the immune system (cytokines) as a response to viral infection. Tocilizumab is used to decrease the body's immune response. Adding tocilizumab to standard of care may work better in treating CRS in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to standard of care alone.
