Filter by:Social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to clinical and functional deterioration of people living with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). As they are considered risk group for COVID-19, it is not recommended that they leave their house and have interaction with people outside. Thus, most of them have not been attend Pulmonary Rehabilitation sections since the beginning of pandemic, neither exercising outdoor, experiencing drastic restrictions in their activities of daily living. It is well known that low level of physical activity in daily life (PADL) in this population is related to poor prognosis, including higher chance of hospitalization due to exacerbation and mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the short- and mid-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical, physical and functional conditions and the PADL level of people living with CRD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and interstitial lung diseases). Participants will be assessed during the social isolation period and they will be reassessed immediately after release from social isolation. Thus, the subjects will be followed-up during 12 months to record symptoms, functional status, quality of life, exacerbations and hospitalizations. The researchers' hypothesis is that those patients will present very low level of PADL in association to sedentarism, poor functional status, more symptoms of dyspnoea, anxiety and depression, poor sleep quality and, consequently, will present more episodes of acute exacerbation of the disease and more hospital admission during the study protocol.
This research is a study to test the reliability of Hyperpolarized Xenon MRI (HXe MRI) as a biomarker in interstitial lung disease. The study is a non-randomized study to evaluate the test-retest performance of HXe MRI in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (cHP) as a non-invasive biomarker of disease severity and prognosis. The study will include approximately 15 subjects with IPF, 15 subjects with cHP and 10 sex and age-matched normal controls performed across 3 sites.
This Phase 1b trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral ORIN1001 at 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg administered daily for up to 28 days in adult subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) alone or in conjunction with local Standard of Care for IPF (pirfenidone or nintedanib). A maximum of 24 evaluable subjects will be required to complete the study. The study will consist of 3 dose cohorts each enrolling a maximum of 8 subjects randomized either to the active (5 subjects) group or placebo (3 subjects) group. Each subject will receive daily oral doses of ORIN1001 or placebo for 28 days. The safety and pharmacokinetic profile will be evaluated in this study and will include cardiovascular and pulmonary endpoints.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis(IPF) is the most common idiopathic interstitial lung disease whose cause is unknown. With age and gender, socio-economic factors are the most influential indicators of health. At present there is very little data on socio-economic factors in the IPF. The investigators hypothesize that a lower socio-economic level and / or exposure to various air pollutants may influence the IPF's natural history, including the severity of diagnosis and prognosis of the IPF. The investigators also hypothesize that the deleterious effect of air pollutants is modulated by individual susceptibility (shorter telomeres) and that this effect is related to oxidative stress and shortening of telomeres.
To better understand the clinical characteristics of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) / Systemic Sclerosis-associated-Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD)/ Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (PF-ILD) patients treated with nintedanib and biomarkers associated with the disease course, a non-interventional, 3-year, prospective study will be conducted to collect the long-term real-world clinical data on IPF/SSc-ILD/PF-ILD patients newly administered with nintedanib in Taiwan
Scarring of the lung, termed pulmonary fibrosis (PF), is a chronic, progressive, and usually fatal disorder. While two anti-fibrotic drugs have been approved for treating PF of unknown cause (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF), neither drug is curative, and nearly 40% of patients stop taking the prescribed drug within a year because of side effects. The study includes the use of saracatinib, an investigational drug originally developed to treat certain types of cancers, in the treatment of IPF in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial. The objectives of this study are to: i) evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and to explore the efficacy of saracatinib in IPF; ii) identify biomarkers of Src kinase activity and fibrogenesis linked to pulmonary fibrosis; and iii) explore the application of these biomarkers to assess the anti-fibrotic effect of saracatinib in IPF patients
This study will evaulate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of recombinant human pentraxin-2 (rhPTX-2; PRM-151) zinpentraxin alfa, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion to participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
This is a Phase 1, 4-part, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of TD-1058 inhaled solution. Part A is a SAD study in healthy subjects, Part B is a MAD study in healthy subjects, Part C is a multiple-dose study in subjects with IPF, and Part D studies lung bioavailability and renal elimination in Healthy Subjects.
Home sleep studies - which allow the measurement of breathing while the person sleeps - will be performed on patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease attending two of the UK's largest respiratory medicine services.The study will investigate at how symptoms, and breathing and exercise tests differ between these two groups after 12 months of study.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a condition where scar tissue (called fibrosis) builds up in the lungs. It usually gets worse over time. Fibrosis causes the lungs to become stiff, and reduces the amount of oxygen that the lungs can take up. People with IPF complain of worsening breathlessness, which limits their day to day activities. Lung function tests are breathing tests that measure how well the lungs are working, and are used by doctors to decide whether to start or stop medicines in people with IPF. However, people with IPF tell us that lung function tests require a lot of effort, can make them cough and feel very short of breath. About 1 in 5 people with IPF are unable to perform lung function results accurately. Impulse oscillometry (iOS) is a new type of breathing test. It uses sound waves to measure the stiffness of the lung. The test is very quick (30 seconds), does not require any effort from the patient, and only requires a patient to breathe in their usual way. iOS has been used successfully in children who are unable to perform normal lung function tests. The investigators will assess whether people with IPF can perform iOS tests accurately and to compare their experiences of having iOS tests with their experience of performing current lung function tests. The investigators will also compare whether there is a relationship between iOS tests and the information gathered from the tests currently used by doctors to measure the impact of IPF (lung function tests, exercise tests, lung scans and questionnaires that measure quality of life).
