Filter by:This is an observational clinical research study investigating patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (fILD), also known as pulmonary fibrosis. It is not known why some patients with fILD clinically deteriorate. This study will investigate whether measuring oxygen levels during sleep or exercise can help identify patients who are at increased risk of clinical deterioration.
In this project the investigators aim to identify new biological markers by characterizing the response/inflammation associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis with the aim of increasing current knowledge available on the development and progression of lung disease.
The main objective of the study is to assess the potential of time-frequency representation and analysis of pulmonary sounds collected with an electronic stethoscope, as part of the routine monitoring of patients with cystic fibrosis, COPD or pulmonary fibrosis.
Introduction and Objectives:IPF, characterized by shortness of breath and progressive deterioration in lung function.Baduanjin (BJ) is a mindbody health exercise that combines physical exercise with psychological properties to maximize both physical and mental health.The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of these exercises in patients with IPF and to present an alternative in terms of the applicability of BJ exercises as a new treatment method Methods: 28 volunteers were invited to the study.These patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.The subjects in the exercise group were given 24 sessions of supervised online BJ exercise training, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. The patients included in the control group did not receive any training during the 8 week period
Adults 40 years of age and older with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or 18 years and older with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) can participate in this study. Only people who have a chronic cough can take part. The purpose of this study is to find out how well BI 1839100 helps reduce coughing in people with IPF or PPF. Participants who have IPF are put into 4 groups by chance. Participants in 3 groups get different doses of BI 1839100. Participants in 1 group get placebo. Placebo looks like BI 1839100 but does not contain any medicine. Participants take the treatment for 3 months. After 1 month of treatment, participants who take the highest dose will have coughing measured to find out if the medicine works. If it does not work, the study may be stopped. Participants who have IPF are in the study for slightly longer than 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site 7 times. This study will also measure the effects of BI 1839100 on coughing and lung function in a smaller group of people with PPF. During the study, coughing is measured over 24 hours about once per month using a portable device given to participants to use during the study. Participants fill in questionnaires about their coughing. Doctors also perform breathing tests that measure how well the lungs are working at the site visits. Researchers compare the results between participants who take BI 1839100 and placebo. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease that leads to early mortality in Caucasians and affects around 7500 patients in France. Progression of the disease depends on pulmonary exacerbations defined as acute deterioration of respiratory symptoms which ultimately impair lung function and quality of life. Most frequently caused by lung bacterial infections, exacerbations' effects include increased cough, increased sputum production, increased use of antibiotics, dyspnea and decreased lung function. The phenotypic variability of CF suggests the implication of other contributors especially to the CF airway disease. Beside genetic and epigenetic alterations, environmental factors - e.g tobacco smoke, air pollution, temperature changes, food intake - appear as relevant candidates. A previous review has discussed current knowledge on the effects of air pollution on the course of CF disease. Although scarce, the existing epidemiological andexperimental literature suggests a link between exposure to air pollutants and adverse health effects.Although scarce, the existing epidemiological and experimental literature suggests a link between exposure to air pollutants and adverse health effects. The EU sponsored REMEDIA project (Impact of exposome on the course of lung diseases, Grant agreement ID 874753) contributes to the understanding of the influence of the exposome on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and CF. Objective of work package 3 within the REMEDIA project is the development of a mobile environmental sensor toolbox that is capable to assess the external exposome. The biomarkertoolbox was developed and tested in a proof-of-concept study carried out in healthy volunteers. The next step is to validate the collectionof exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in a real-life study. In this aim, the objective of the present study will be to assess the feasibility of EBC collection in CF patients and healthy individuals
This study is open to adults 40 years or older with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are not on any treatment for IPF are on stable treatment for at least 3 months before starting the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1819479 helps people with IPF. 3 different doses of BI 1819479 are tested in this study. Participants are put into 4 groups by chance. Participants in 3 groups get different doses of BI 1819479. Participants in 1 group get placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 1819479 tablets, but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the treatment for 6 months to 1 year. Participants are in the study for up to 1 year and 2 months. During this time, they visit the study site between 10 and 12 times and get up to 11 phone calls from the site staff. At site visits doctors regularly perform breathing tests that measure how well the lungs are working. Researchers compare the results between participants who take BI 1819479 and placebo. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, 2-arm study. Approximately 36 subjects with IPF will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio for GRI-0621 4.5mg or Placebo. GRI-0621 dose of 4.5mg will be compared with placebo following once daily oral administration for 12 weeks. Concurrently, a Sub-Study will be conducted, examining the number and activity of NKT cells in BAL, for up to 12 eligible subjects (across various centers). An interim analysis will be performed when 24 subjects complete 6 weeks of treatment (approximately 8 placebo subjects).
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of AP01 versus placebo on top of standard of care in participants with PPF over 52 weeks.
This study aims to delve into the constructs of illness beliefs and expectations among patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis, exploring how these beliefs and expectations may influence the treatment journey, including oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation therapy, and pharmacological treatments.
