View clinical trials related to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Filter by:The study consists of 2 parts: Part A is a randomized, multiple-dose, double-blind, placebo-controlled sequential dose escalation study to evaluate GS-6624 in subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and was completed in October 2011. Part B is a randomized, two-dose, open-label dose expansion study to evaluate GS-6624 in subjects with IPF and is currently enrolling.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.

This is an open-label Phase I/II trial to assess the feasibility and safety of combined plasma exchange (PEX), rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administration on the outcome of hospitalized patients with acute IPF exacerbations. The specific aims of this study are: 1. To assess the feasibility and safety of combined PEX, rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administrations for the treatment of hospitalized patients with acute IPF exacerbations by monitoring indices of respiratory (PaO2) and cardiovascular function during the treatment interval. 2. To assess the efficacy of combined PEX, rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administrations for the treatment of hospitalized patients with acute IPF exacerbations on patient survival in comparison to historical controls. Patient survival for this investigation will be defined using the composite outcome of 60 day survival and/or survival to lung transplantation. Subjects between 18 and 80 years of age who have a confirmed diagnosis of IPF, and meet all the study requirements will be enrolled in this study. A total of 10 subjects of both genders and all ethnic backgrounds with acute IPF exacerbations hospitalized at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center will be enrolled in this study.
A Phase 2 open label, dose escalation study to find the minimally and maximum effective dose (dose beyond which no further effect on PVR is seen) of inhaled nitric oxide generated by the GeNOsyl® System compared to placebo.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of FG-3019 in subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and the efficacy of FG-3019 for attenuating fibrosis in these subjects.
The aims of the study are to assess safety, tolerability, the pharmacokinetic profile, and the pharmacodynamic profile of multiple doses of PRM-151 administered IV to IPF patients.
This is an open label, Phase One, multicenter study, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, to explore the biologic effects, and to explore the clinical effects of the following doses of IW001: 0.1mg/day, 0.5 mg/day, and 1.0 mg/day, when administered once a day orally for 24 weeks in patients with IPF.
The aim of this trial is to offer continuation of BIBF 1120 treatment for patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) who have completed a prior clinical trial with that drug. The primary objective will be to establish the long term tolerability and safety profile of BIBF 1120 in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). As a secondary objective the effects of long term treatment with BIBF 1120 on survival as well as safety and efficacy parameters will be investigated in an open-label, not randomized, un-controlled design.
Hypothesis 1: Microaspiration, as diagnosed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) pepsin, is common in patients with IPF. Hypothesis 2a: Baseline clinical variables and co-morbid conditions are risk factors for microaspiration in patients with IPF. Hypothesis 2b: Baseline biological variables reflecting alveolar epithelial injury and inflammation are markers of microaspiration in IPF. Hypothesis 3a: Microaspiration will lead to a more rapid rate of decline in pulmonary function. Hypothesis 3b: Microaspiration will lead to higher rates of urgent medical care use (i.e. unscheduled clinic visit, emergency room visit, or hospitalization).
