Filter by:Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is expressed in a variety of pulmonary pathological conditions including pulmonary vascular disease and pulmonary fibrosis. Bosentan (an oral dual ET-1 receptor antagonist) could delay the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a condition for which no established treatment is available. The present trial investigates a possible use of bosentan, which is currently approved for the treatment of symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) WHO class III and IV, to a new category of patients suffering from IPF. It was decided to offer Open Label treatment (bosentan) for patients willing to continue in the BUILD 1 study.
Clinical and experimental studies suggest that bosentan could delay the progression of interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc), a condition for which no established efficacious treatment is available. The present trial investigates a possible use of oral bosentan, which is currently approved for the treatment of symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) WHO Class III and IV, to a new category of patients suffering from ILD associated with SSc.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of etanercept in comparison with placebo in a double-blind, parallel, randomized fashion in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who failed previous therapy. The treatment period will be up to 1 year. The primary objective is evaluation of safety and efficacy. Secondary: The secondary objective is to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and pharmacokinetics (PK).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of multiple dosages of INS37217 compared to placebo over 28 days in subjects with mild to moderate cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Study drug will be administered through a nebulizer (a device that delivers medication as a mist by breathing it in).
Study GIPF-004 is an open-label, multicenter study that will enroll approximately 250 patients who complete Protocol GIPF-001. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of continued IFN-gamma 1b therapy in this well-defined cohort of patients for up to 48 weeks.
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.
Study GIPF-002 is a phase 2 study designed to characterize the biologic and clinical effects of IFN-g 1b. The objective of the Study is to characterize the biologic and clinical effects of IFN-g 1b administered to patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The Study will be conducted at multiple sites and enroll 30 patients with IPF who have failed treatment with corticosteroids.
Study GIPF-001 is phase 3 study designed to determine the safety and efficacy of IFN-g 1b administered by subcutaneous injection; compared to placebo in patients with IPF who are unresponsive to steroids. 330 patients have been enrolled and were assigned to either a IFN-g 1b group or a placebo group.
The purpose of this study is to examine genetic modifiers of the severity of cystic fibrosis lung disease.
To map the gene (or genes) for familial pulmonary fibrosis.
