Filter by:This study will evaluate the effect of CPAP therapy on esophageal pH and lung inflammation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sleep apnea.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, chronic, lethal disease of unknown etiology and with a variable course. There is currently no test in routine care that can assess both the anatomical and functional damage of the disease at an early stage. This is the first human study in IPF to evaluate the value of a non-invasive tracer, 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO), targeting hypoxia in IPF patients. This is a Phase I, proof-of-concept, single-center, open-label, parallel group study. It will include 2 groups: - 1 group of 10 IPF patients - 1 group of 10 healthy volunteers matched to IPF patients for age and gender
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are severe, progressive, irreversibly incapacitating pulmonary disorders with modest response to therapeutic interventions and poor prognosis. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is important to enable patients to receive appropriate care at the earliest possible stage to delay disease progression and prolong survival. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted digital lung auscultation could constitute an alternative to conventional subjective operator-related auscultation to accurately and earlier diagnose these diseases. Moreover, lung ultrasound (LUS), a relevant gold standard for lung pathology, could also benefit from automation by deep learning.
Study RIN-PF-303 is a multinational study designed to evaluate the superiority of inhaled treprostinil against placebo for the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to Week 52.
The XENON ILD study is a single arm, un-blinded study at Duke University enrolling patients with non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) progressive fibrosis (PF) interstitial lung disease (ILD). Patients who meet criteria for ILD-progression (defined below in inclusion/exclusion criteria) will be consented prior to the initiation of anti-fibrotic therapy. Subjects will undergo an approximately hour long comprehensive MRI protocol, including administration of multiple doses of hyperpolarized 129Xe. The subjects will have this initial study prior to initiation of anti-fibrotic therapies and repeat MRI studies at 3, 6 and 12 months following the initiation of therapy. If subjects do not decide to initiate anti-fibrotic therapy per discussion with their physician, then the 3, 6 and 12 months repeat studies will initiate based on time after enrollment.
The primary purpose of this multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging Phase I study is to assess the safety of a purified from green tea, EGCG, in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) as a potential novel treatment for pulmonary fibrosis.
It is to determine the effectiveness of different telerehabilitation exercise programs received to 2 groups randomly formed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. The cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized and divided into two groups, the groups will be named as Telerehabilitation Exercise Group (TGr) and Video Group (VGr).
This study was divided into two parts. The first part was a dose escalation study: a open label dose escalation design was used to evaluate the safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetic characteristics of ZSP1603 in IPF patients. The second part was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled design was used to preliminatively investigate the efficacy and safety of ZSP1603 in the treatment of IPF at the target dose.
Patients with pulmonary fibrosis and associated usual interstitial pneumonia that require mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure experience poor clinical outcomes. This may be influenced by the unfavorable interaction between the fibrotic lung and the stress and strain stimuli generated during controlled ventilation. Although there is no consensus on how to ventilate these patients, much of the recommendations followed in clinical practice are taken from the experience on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Among these, measuring the esophageal pressures and adjusting positive-end expiatory pressure to make trans-pulmonary pressures positive can decrease atelectasis, derecruitment of lung, and cyclical opening and closing of airways and alveoli, thus optimizing lung mechanics and oxygenation. The effect of this strategy on the fibrotic lung has not yet been documented. With this observational study we aim at documenting the effect of PEEP titration maneuver based on end-expiratory trans-pulmonary pressure on lung mechanics of patients with pulmonary fibrosis and UIP pattern,
