Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of automated oxygen administration (FreeO2 system) alone or with high-flow oxygen on dyspnea and exercise tolerance in people with desaturating chronic lung disease compared to fixed oxygen therapy.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study of Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC) in patients with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), age 30-85 (inclusive). The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of TSC on lung function as measured by diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in patients with ILD; the secondary objectives are to determine the effect of TSC on the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), heart rate recovery (HRR), and Borg Scale in patients with ILD.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effects of the medication ixazomib in participants with scleroderma/systemic sclerosis including its safety and tolerability, its effects on skin, lungs and other organs, and its effects on overall health and quality of life.
Patients are being offered participation in this pirfenidone trial because They have been diagnosed with fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP), a type of interstitial lung disease (ILD). This is a disease where scarring of lung tissue occurs as the result of inhaling substances called antigens. These antigens can be substances such as molds, chemicals or dust. As a result of this scarring the lungs are is not able to move oxygen into the bloodstream to reach other organs. Currently over 1400 subjects have been treated with pirfenidone in 15 clinical trials. This drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a different type of ILD, but requires special permission for use in your condition. The use of pirfenidone has not been approved for the treatment of FHP. It is considered experimental treatment in this study.
Objective: Determine whether treatment of perceived stress, anxiety, and depression with anti-depressant therapy improves dyspnea scores, 6-minute walk (6MW) distance and quality of life (QoL) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease) undergoing pulmonary rehab. The study is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the effect of an SSRI on 6MW, dyspnea scores, and QoL in COPD and ILD patients undergoing pulmonary rehab. Thirty subjects that carry an ICD-9 code diagnosis of COPD and/or ILD and CES-D (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression) score of > 16 will be recruited from Duke Pulmonary Rehab. Multivariable regression models will be constructed to evaluate the relationship between perceived stress, anxiety, and depression with adjustments by race, gender, age, BMI and GOLD score. A multivariable regression model will be constructed to assess whether treatment of perceived stress, depression, and anxiety with antidepressant therapy (sertraline) is an effect modifier on 6MW distance and dyspnea scores in patients with COPD or ILD who are enrolled in pulmonary rehab. Descriptive statistics will be used to examine the socio-demographic characteristic data. Student t-tests will be performed to assess group differences in continuous data. Categorical variables will be examined using the Pearson's Chi-Squared test.
This is a multicenter, open-label trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) including combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The study will include about 266 patients who completed all required assessments in the RIN-PH-201 study at approximately 100 clinical trial centers. The study will continue Your participation in this study is voluntary and will last until you discontinue from the study or the study ends. The study will continue until each subject reaches the Week 108 visit or until inhaled treprostinil become commercially available for patients with PH associated with ILD including CPFE (whichever is sooner).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pomalidomide in the treatment of patients with systemic sclerosis with interstitial lung disease.
The first objective of this protocol is to assess the tolerability and safety of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in patients with connective tissue disease related interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD).
The objective of the present work is to explore and compare the diagnostic quality of sputum specimens obtained by BAL, induction with hypertonic saline (3%), and induction with INS316 in patients diagnosed with interstitial lung diseases.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and PK profile of CC-930 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.
