A MultiCenter Study of Combined PEX, Rituximab, and Steroids in Acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Exacerbations

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase II Study of Combined Plasma Exchange (PEX), Rituximab, and Corticosteroids in Patients With Acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Exacerbations

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized, multi-center, open-label Phase II clinical trial to determine the efficacy of combined plasma exchange (PEX), rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administration, in comparison to corticosteroids alone, among patients with acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) exacerbations.

The investigators central hypothesis is that antibody-mediated autoimmunity can play an important role in IPF exacerbations. The investigators propose to test our central hypothesis by establishing the efficacy of autoantibody removal by plasma exchange (PEX), in conjunction with B-cell depletion by rituximab to deplete immunoglobulins and minimize their further production, among patients with acute IPF exacerbations.

The primary goal of this randomized, multi-center, open-label Phase II clinical trial is to determine effects of combined plasma exchange (PEX), rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administration on selected, relevant immunological parameters, in comparison to effects of steroids alone, among AE-IPF patients. The investigators anticipate the findings of this will lead to larger incremental trial(s) to determine actual clinical efficacy of this treatment.

A total of 40 subjects will be enrolled in this multi-center trial from 5 participating medical centers.
