Filter by:The purpose of the present study is to advance in the knowledge of quality of life in patients with ILD by translating a ILD quality of life questionnaire. There are no specific tools validated in Spanish to evaluate the quality of life in patients with ILD, although these measures are useful for an comprensive evaluation of these patients. Patients with ILD have a significant impact on their health. If we improve our Knowledge of the different domains affected by the disease, and not only in the pathophysiological ones, we will be able to develop tools to improve their management.
The Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment drug HEC585 in Healthy Male and Female Subjects
High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) plays a major role in the management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by identifying characteristic lesions of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Though HRCT is the standard reference to describe pulmonary structural alterations using a non invasive technique, it is nonetheless a radiating exam which provides limited functional information regarding inflammation. In this trial, the investigators aimed to evaluate whether MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) using ultra-short echotime could be an alternative to HRCT in the assessment of the four morphological criteria required to define an UIP pattern. The investigators also planned to study the clinical value of the additional informations derived from MRI such as contrasts and lung perfusion using functional MRI.
To gain further insight on the characteristics, management, disease progression and the outcomes of patients with IPF, as diagnosed and treated under real-world, clinical practice conditions in Greece. More specifically, this registry will be used to: Provide a comprehensive clinical picture of IPF, Track access to health care and cost of caring for IPF patients over time, Examine the implementation of treatment guidelines used on patients diagnosed with IPF, according to the existing diagnosis guidelines, Characterization of patients on different treatments. To provide information regarding survival and mortality causes, IPF exacerbations as well as IPF patient co-morbidities including myocardial infarction, CNS infarction, other arterial thromboembolic events, deep vein thrombosis, hemorrhage, gastrointestinal perforation and pulmonary hypertension. Data regarding IPF patient hospitalization will be collected and evaluated with regards to potential respiratory causes, and there will be documentation of treatment patterns and economic aspects. Patients will be followed up for 2 years and information regarding IPF treatment changes since the last visit will be collected.
This will be a 5 year randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of 7 days of oral prednisone in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients receiving intravenous (IV) antibiotic treatment for a pulmonary exacerbation at the Hospital for Sick Children and other study sub-sites across Canada. The intervention will be oral prednisone 2 mg/kg/day (max 60 mg) divided twice daily for 7 days as an adjunctive therapy for pulmonary exacerbations in CF patients who have not recovered their baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) after 7 days of IV antibiotic treatment. The primary outcome will be the proportion of subjects who achieve >90% of their baseline FEV1 % predicted at day 14 of IV antibiotic treatment for a pulmonary exacerbation in each treatment arm.
GSK3008348 is being developed as a treatment for IPF. A first-time-in-human study showed that single nebulized doses of 1−3000 micrograms (mcg) GSK3008348 in healthy volunteers were well tolerated, with pharmacokinetic (PK) exposures within the defined limits set in the protocol. The proposed study is a 2-cohort study of single doses, intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of the drug in participants with IPF not currently treated with pirfenidone or nintedanib, and to obtain preliminary information on target engagement. Cohort 1 will be a 2-period, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled group with at least 7 days washout between doses, and follow-up period of up to 7-14 days. Cohort 2 is optional. It will be designed to further explore safety and to provide additional information on the target engagement profile of GSK3008348. The total duration of the study will be up to 62 days.
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of FRC and airway resistance calculate values of Spircare device as compared to the conventional body plethysmograph in healthy adults and patients with obstructive and restrictive pulmonary diseases/disorders.
Although exercise-induced desaturation is frequently observed in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) short-term effects of supplemental oxygen during walking have not been investigated yet. Given, that walking ability is the most important activity of daily life, the aim of our study is to investigate the effects of supplemental oxygen on endurance walking capacity in hypoxemic IPF patients. In this study patients will perform 3 endurance shuttle walk tests (ESWTs) at 85% of their individual peak performance using medical air (=compressed room air, 2 liters/minute), 2 liters/minute oxygen, 4 liters/minute Oxygen in a double-blinded fashion and random order. Since there are only limited pharmacological treatment options for IPF patients, this study may help to provide novel information about the short-term effects of supplemental oxygen. Furthermore it may help to investigate possibilities to optimize oxygen therapy in order to facilitate patients´ participation in activities of daily life and not at least to improve patients´ quality of life.
This is an active surveillance study to monitor the real world safety of nintedanib in Indian patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The safety of nintedanib has been assessed in clinical trials.This active surveillance aims to collect the safety data of 200 IPF patients treated with nintedanib in approved indication after the commercial availability of the drug in India (23rd January 2017). The objective is to look at safety of nintedanib in the real world setting.
An objective of JIPS Registry is to examine disease behavior of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), considering classification, background, and diagnostic methods based on American Thoracic Society (ATS)/ European Respiratory Society(ERS) /Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS)/ Latin American Thoracic Association (ALAT) guidelines for diagnosis and the ATS/ERS classification of 2002 and 2013.
