Filter by:The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with pirfenidone 2403 milligrams per day (mg/d) compared with placebo in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with pirfenidone 1197 mg/d in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and to characterize the pharmacokinetic disposition of pirfenidone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Open label trial of zileuton compared to azathioprine/prednisone for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Study subjects will undergo a detailed clinical, radiographic, and physiologic assessment at baseline. Subjects will be monitored off treatment for three months for changes in symptoms and physiology. Subjects will then be randomized to six months of treatment with zileuton or azathioprine/prednisone. The primary endpoint of this trial is change in LTB4 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid following six months of treatment. Secondary endpoints are progression free survival, change in dyspnea, change in quality of life, and change in physiology.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) to develop a method to quantify Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) load in lung tissue of humans and to determine whether EBV viral load is significantly higher in lung tissue from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) than in control lung tissue; 2) to determine whether EBV localized to epithelial cells in IPF lungs and to relate epithelial positivity to tissue viral load; 3) to measure viral load in induced sputum from IPF subjects over time in order to determine whether periodic active herpes virus replication occurred in the respiratory tract; and 4) to compare longitudinal measures of viral load in induced sputum with simultaneously collected saliva in order to assess the clinical utility of the two approaches.
This study will evaluate the safety of the administration of a copper chelating agent, tetrathiomolybdate, for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that have failed previous treatment. The primary endpoint for this study is safety with secondary endpoints including change in pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
The goal of this study is to determine whether thalidomide can stop the progression of fibrosis in IPF. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of 400 mg of thalidomide administered daily for one year in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who have failed or are not candidates for treatment with corticosteroids and/or cytotoxic drugs. The study population will consist of patients with biopsy-proven moderate to severe IPF who have failed or are not candidates for standard therapy with corticosteroids and/or cytotoxic drugs.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of two dose strengths of study drug compared to placebo in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
This study is designed to investigate whether GC1008, an antibody that neutralizes TGFb, is safe in treating patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The highest dose without excessive side effects will be identified. Tests will determine how long GC1008 is in the body and how it is excreted.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether iloprost inhalation solution is safe in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and elevated pulmonary arterial pressure. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment in subjects with this disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the study drug, known as "ATG Fresenius S," which is sometimes called "EZ-2053," to prevent a lung transplant patient's body from rejecting a transplanted lung or lungs.
