Filter by:The ARTEMIS-IPF study was conducted to determine if ambrisentan was effective in delaying disease progression and death in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), to evaluate its safety, and to evaluate its effect on development of pulmonary hypertension, quality of life, and dyspnea (shortness of breath) symptoms in this participant population. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive ambrisentan or placebo, respectively. Participation in the study was to be up to 4 years, depending on how long it would take to enroll participants and observe study events. After randomization, visits to the clinic took place every 3 months, and laboratory procedures were performed every month.
The study is aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of a combination therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid (12-16 mg/kg body weight (BW)/d) plus budesonide (9 mg/d) vs. ursodeoxycholic acid (12-16 mg/kg BW/d) plus placebo in the treatment of PBC. Depending on ALT values 6 mg/d budesonide are allowed. The study population will be patients with PBC at risk for disease progression. It is assumed that the combination therapy will result in a decrease of treatment failures after 3 years of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to establish single-dose tolerability of inhaled treprostinil sodium in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients with pulmonary hypertension, and to explore the acute hemodynamic effects over a range of tolerable doses. The safety and pharmacodynamic information obtained from this study will inform the design and conduct of future studies in inhaled treprostinil sodium in this population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lozenges containing interferon-alpha can reduce the frequency and severity of coughing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
This was a Phase IV, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the effect of Pulmozyme on pulmonary function, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and respiratory symptoms in 3- to 5-year-old children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Approximately 40 patients were planned to be enrolled in this study. However, only 3 patients were eligible for random allocation and received treatment: 1 patient in the Pulmozyme group and 2 patients in the placebo group. All 3 patients completed the study assessments but did not have usable pulmonary function test (PFT) data.
This is a study to find out if Levemir® (a long acting or basal insulin) is safe and effective in treating cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD).
The purpose of this research study is to test a new combination of medicines, Phenylbutyrate and Genistein, to determine if they could be used to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). The most common genetic mutation found in patients with CF is called Delta F508. Due to this mutation, there is a lack of salt (chloride) movement in your nose, sinuses, lungs, intestines, pancreas and sweat glands. This lack of movement causes the clinical manifestations of the disease. Although Phenylbutyrate has been extensively used to treat patients with rare metabolic diseases, Phenylbutyrate is an investigational drug for the purpose of this study. Genistein is a naturally occurring substance that is found in food products such as soy and tofu, but is also an investigational drug for this study. When used together, both drugs may be able to restore normal chloride and salt (water) movements in body organs and glands in people with CF. We will be studying salt and water movement in the nose by a technique called nasal transepithelial potential difference (NPD).
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and mechanism of action of multiple doses of QAX576 in patients with pulmonary fibrosis secondary to systemic sclerosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) results in thickened secretions in multiple organ systems including the lungs and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Patients commonly suffer from nutritional deficiency, and achieving and maintaining adequate nutrition is an important goal of therapy because it is positively correlated with lung function. Lubiprostone activates chloride channels in the GI tract. Because its mechanism of action closely parallels the disease pathology, lubiprostone has the potential to provide GI benefits beyond the relief of constipation. This project is an observational study to examine the effects of lubiprostone on nutritional status and lung function in adults with CF. Our hypothesis is that lubiprostone will have beneficial effects on nutritional status.
28 week pilot study to examine the efficacy of recombinant human IGF-1 on body weight and composition in adults with cystic fibrosis.
