Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether lozenges containing interferon-alpha can reduce the frequency and severity of coughing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and mechanism of action of multiple doses of QAX576 in patients with pulmonary fibrosis secondary to systemic sclerosis
This study will examine whether five drugs (pravastatin, Losartan, Zileuton, N-acetylcysteine and erythromycin) used together can slow the course of pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lung tissue) in patients with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS). Patients with this disease have decreased skin color (albinism), bleeding problems, and sometimes colon problems. Two of the known types of Hermansky Pudlak syndrome, type 1 and type 4, are at high risk of pulmonary fibrosis between the ages of 30 and 50. Patients 18 to 70 years of age who have Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome with a serious loss of lung function due to pulmonary fibrosis may be eligible for this study. Participants begin taking pravastatin on study day 2 and start a new drug every 3 days. Patients who experience no problems with the medicines return home and continue on the drugs for the next 2 years. They return to the NIH Clinical Center every 3 months for a medical history, physical examination, and blood, urine and lung function tests. CT and bone density scans are done every year. The study may continue for up to 3 years.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effects of a single dose of denufosol versus placebo on mucociliary clearance in patients with mild to moderate CF lung disease
Open-label therapy will be administered to up to 220 patients, following completion of either InterMune Protocol GIPF-002 Part B or Protocol GIPF-004, to assess the long-term safety of subcutaneous Interferon gamma-1b. The study duration will be 5 years.
- Purpose: A phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the efficacy and safety of 200 µg of recombinant Interferon gamma-1b administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection, compared with placebo, in patients with IPF - Enrollment: Approximately 800 patients will be enrolled from approximately 80 centers in North America and Europe - Randomization: 2:1 active-to-placebo ratio - Duration: at least 2 years active drug or placebo (rescue therapy will be permitted for patients who meet predefined criteria)
Study GIPF-003 is a Phase 3b study designed to define better therapeutic use of IFN-gamma 1b in patients wtih IPF. The study will be conducted primarily in Europe and will enroll 210 patients.
To determine risk factors for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
