Filter by:AMB-053-01 is a randomized, placebo controlled, multicenter study which will enroll approximately 36 subjects ages 40 and older with IPF for 6 doses over a 24-week dosing period.
This research is a study to test the reliability of Hyperpolarized Xenon MRI (HXe MRI) as a biomarker in interstitial lung disease. The study is a non-randomized study to evaluate the test-retest performance of HXe MRI in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (cHP) as a non-invasive biomarker of disease severity and prognosis. The study will include approximately 15 subjects with IPF, 15 subjects with cHP and 10 sex and age-matched normal controls performed across 3 sites.
The purpose of this study is to use the Medication Adherence Reasons Scale (MAR-Scale) to determine the extent of non-adherence to specific medications indicated to treat cystic fibrosis, hemophilia (A or B), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, myasthenia gravis, and sickle cell disease, and to identify the top patient-reported reasons for non-adherence. Internal reliability of the MAR-Scale will also be assessed in each condition.
The study will measure airway inflammation in probable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sarcoidosis as well as in healthy volunteers. This can help understand the molecular basis of these diseases, why these diseases happen, and what makes patients develop lung fibrosis. These insights should one day help to monitor patients and aid in their diagnosis and treatment.
A Phase 2a, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety of BLD-2660 Administered Orally in Subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This study plans to learn more about the safety and tolerability of inhaled N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. The study will also create a bank of data, blood, and sputum from IPF patients for future research.
SM04646-IPF-03 is a Phase 2a, multi-center, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a single inhaled, nebulized dose of SM04646 solution over a 12-week treatment regimen in subjects with mild to moderate IPF. A total of approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in the study (approximately 12 subjects into the "non-bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL]" arm and approximately 12 subjects into the "BAL" arm). Subjects that currently do not require, have failed to tolerate, or have opted not to have treatment with pirfenidone or nintedanib will have the option of participation in the "BAL" arm or participation in the "non-BAL" arm. Subjects currently receiving treatment with pirfenidone or nintedanib must be on stable treatment for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit. Subjects currently on treatment with pirfenidone or nintedanib may participate in the "non-BAL" arm only. Eligible subjects will participate in a treatment period of 12 weeks and a follow-up period of 12 weeks. The treatment dosing pattern will follow a 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off regimen, wherein subjects will dose 5 consecutive days of each 7 day "on" week.
The diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is currently one of the most common diagnoses for patients under evaluation for lung transplantation. In recent years, an absolute increase in prevalence/ incidence of IPF has been observed. There is evidence that patients with IPF on waiting list for lung transplantation might benefit from pirfenidone treatment. Until now, no data are published regarding this important issue in lung transplantation. Primary objective is to determine whether there is a difference in the duration time of mechanical ventilation (weaning) directly after lung transplantation between patients treated with pirfenidone and patients without pirfenidone treatment. The Secondary objectives are to determine whether there are differences between the pirfenidone treatment group and the control group regarding survival after LUTX, the score on the Saint Georges Respiratory Questionnaire and the decline in forced vital capacity (FVC%) In this Investigator initiated, non- interventional single center study , patients on the waiting list for transplant pirfenidone treatment receive oral pirfenidone at the standard dose of 2403 mg per day. The treatment duration will range from 6 to 12 months. A control group will be used to correlate the outcome-parameters for a descriptive comparison. The control group includes patients with IPF on the waiting list who were on another IPF specific (or no) treatment for IPF The Study Population are Patients aged between 40-70 years who are admitted to the lung transplantation department and fulfill the international criteria for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( existence of a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern in the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is necessary). Variables: Duration of mechanical ventilation after LUTX (hours), Forced Vital capacity relative to reference value at baseline (FVC0%), Forced Vital capacity relative to reference value after 6 months (FVC6%),Forced Vital capacity relative to reference value after 12 months (FVC12%) Study Size: 30 patients in the Pirfenidone group, 20 patients in the control group. For the primary Endpoint, the mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum of the weaning time of patients who received a pirfenidone treatment, as well as of patients from the control group will be computed and presented in a table. Additionally, a Kaplan-Meier curve will be estimated and plotted alongside the respective 95% CI calculated using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Furthermore, a stepwise linear regression using forward selection and Age, RBMI, FVC0%, (FVC6%-FVC0%), TLC, FEV1% and ECMO, as well as the pirfenidone treatment as predictors will be computed. The null hypothesis is that the pirfenidone treatment has no influence on the weaning time. The according model coefficient estimate and standard error will be used to test the null hypothesis using a t-test at significance level α=0.05. For the secondary endpoints, the mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum of patients who received a pirfenidone treatment, as well as of patients from the control group will be computed and presented in a tableStepwise Cox Regression using forward selection and Age, RBMI, FVC0%, (FVC6%-FVC0%) and ECMO, as well as the pirfenidone treatment as predictors will be computed in order to compare the treatment and the control group a . If p-values are calculated for the secondary endpoint analysis, they serve only descriptive purposes. Therefore no multiple testing corrections are applied.
The investigators are trying to understand the role of specific genes in the function of airway surface cells. The investigators know that there are some common genetic markers that are associated with various lung diseases. However, most people with these genetic markers never develop any evidence of lung disease, so it is not understand how or if these markers play a role in disease. Investigators are asking healthy people to provide three (3) tubes of blood as well as a sample of cells from their nose. Investigators will use the blood sample to provide genetic information (specifically, presence or absence of alleles known to be associated with pulmonary fibrosis). Nose cells from individuals with the genetic markers that investigators are studying will be grown in the the lab to allow investigators to learn more about how the cells respond to various forms of environmental stress, such as exposure to cigarette smoke. The goal of this study is to understand how specific genes affect airway cell function.
This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of vismodegib in patients with IPF. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms: vismodegib or placebo. The duration of treatment will be 52 weeks. Study drug will be administered daily by the oral route. An 8-week safety follow-up period is included for all patients who receive at least one dose of study drug.
