Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and the mid-term effects of a pulmonary rehabilitation intervention, delivered by digital App, on quality of life of patients affected by respiratory diseases. The App will include a monitored exercise training program based on most recent cardiopulmonary rehabilitation guidelines, including alerts, reminders and educational contents as well as chat and online visits with healthcare professionals to improve patient engagement.
Ifetroban prevents and treats lung fibrosis due to multiple causes (bleomycin, genetic, radiation). The safety and efficacy of oral ifetroban will be assessed in patients with IPF.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of RXC007 when given for 12 weeks (84 days), alone and in combination with nintedanib or pirfenidone.
The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) that need to be treated with antibiotics given through a tube inserted into a vein (intravenous or IV). A pulmonary exacerbation is a worsening of respiratory symptoms in people with CF that needs medical intervention. Both doctors and CF patients are trying to understand the best way to treat pulmonary exacerbations. This study is trying to answer the following questions about treating a pulmonary exacerbation: - Do participants have the same improvement in lung function and symptoms if they are treated with one type of antibiotic (called beta-lactams or β-lactams) versus taking two different types of antibiotics (tobramycin and β-lactams)? - Is taking one type of antibiotic just as good as taking two types?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARO-MMP7 in normal healthy volunteers (NHVs) and in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study will initiate with NHVs receiving single ascending doses of ARO-MMP7. Following evaluation of safety and pharmacodynamic (PD) data, participants will receive multiple doses of ARO-MMP7.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor approved for the treatment of various cancers, in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 200 mg twice daily (BID) of BBT-877 in patients with IPF, with or without AF approved background therapies (pirfenidone or nintedanib).
Main purpose -To explore the safety and tolerance of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Secondary purpose - To explore the preliminary efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to recommend the appropriate dose of cell therapy for subsequent clinical studies. - To explore the immunogenicity of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study adopts a clinical research design of multi center, single dose and increasing dose. 18 qualified IPF subjects will be included in this study.
Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases or pulmonary fibrosis represent a heterogeneous group of progressive pulmonary pathologies, responsible for a significant morbi-mortality. They are defined by an infiltration of the pulmonary interstitium associating in a variable way an inflammatory component (deposit of inflammatory cells) and a fibrosing component (deposit of collagen). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common and most severe pulmonary fibrosis. Other pulmonary fibroses are mainly represented by non-specific interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibroses associated with connectivites, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, certain pneumoconiosis (occupational diseases) and sarcoidosis. The process of fibrosis is responsible for a loss of elasticity of the lung, leading to a decrease in lung volumes associated with an alteration of gas exchange. In these diseases, the clinician must be able to rely on reliable means to assess the severity of the disease based mainly on the measurement of lung volumes and gas exchange, at diagnosis and in the follow-up of the patient, in order to propose the most appropriate management. Lung volumes are assessed by respiratory function tests. Forced vital capacity is the reference volume value used. Impaired gas exchange is assessed at rest by measuring carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, arterial oxygen saturation and arterial blood gases. The functional capacity to exercise is also a very important evaluation criterion in terms of prognosis and in the follow-up of the patient. It is assessed by means of ergocycle tests which mainly determine the maximal oxygen consumption. These are relatively complex tests that require special equipment and are not routinely performed. Simpler field tests have been developed to assess functional capacity during exercise, the most widely used and validated being the 6-minute Walk Test (TM6). Other field tests to assess functional capacity to exercise have been developed, such as the 30-second, 1-minute, and 3-minute chair lift tests, stepper tests, and step and stair tests. Among them, the 1-minute chair lift test (TLC1) is the best evaluated. It consists of sitting down and getting up from a chair as many times as possible in 1 minute. The criteria measured are mainly the number of lifts and desaturation. Thus, the fundamental advantage of the TLC1 over the TM6 is the exemption from temporal and spatial constraints since it takes only a few minutes and can be performed in a medical office. While TLC1 seems to be the most suitable, there are still a few pitfalls in substituting TLC1 for TM6 during diffuse interstitial lung disease. First, there is only one study reporting the results of TLC1 in a healthy population. It provides a chart of results according to age. Unfortunately, only the number of lifts is reported without any data on heart rate, SaO2 or sensation of dyspnea. In respiratory pathologies, TLC1 has been studied mainly in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and little in PID. Unlike TM6, TLC1 is reproducible and has no learning effect in this population. Interestingly, one study found that peak desaturation and peak oxygen consumption occurred during the recovery phase some seconds after the end of the test. Studies on TLC1 during SID do not allow us to conclude that this test can substitute for TM6. However, investigators may note certain limitations, in particular the small number of patients studied and the retrospective nature of the 2 largest of them. Above all, it seems that the use of TLC1 could be optimized by taking into account the recovery phase in the evaluation of desaturation. The hypothesis of our study is that the TLC1 taking into account the recovery phase can replace the TM6 in the management of fibrosing PID for prognostic evaluation, patient follow-up and indication of oxygen therapy. It is more accessible and its use by all practitioners in face-to-face or telemedicine would allow a better management of these patients. Finally, the investigators hypothesize that the TLC1 will result in lower costs in the management of these patients.
