Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Fibrosis"

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a long-term lung disease that affects an individual's ability to breathe. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we assigned patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who had mild-to-moderate lung-function impairment to one of three groups - receiving a combination of prednisone, azathioprine, and NAC (combination therapy), NAC alone, or placebo - in a 1:1:1 ratio.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) on shortness of breath, exercise capacity, symptom control, mental health, cognitive function, and quality of life in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Pulmonary rehabilitation has already been shown to benefit patients with other chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We believe that pulmonary rehabilitation will benefit patients with IPF as well.

The primary objective of this study is to establish the feasibility and safety of infusions of placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) from related or unrelated HLA identical or HLA mismatched donors in the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The secondary objectives are to document changes in lung function, 6 minute walk distance (6MWD), gas exchange and radiological appearance following infusion of MSC over a six month evaluation period.

The investigators aim to evaluate the role of 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in particular in patients with a diagnosis of IPF/UIP (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, diagnosed based in the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria) and in forms of NSIP (non-specific interstitial pneumonia). PET/CT imaging data will be compared with HRCT (high-resolution computed tomography) findings to assess disease extension, early disease detection and to non-invasively detect somatostatin receptors expression at lung level in these patients, with potential therapeutic implications.

Medicines that decrease blood pressure in the lungs may help idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients function better. This study will test whether sildenafil improves the ability to exercise in patients with pulmonary fibrosis of unknown cause.

This study will evaluate the safety of the administration of a copper chelating agent, tetrathiomolybdate, for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that have failed previous treatment. The primary endpoint for this study is safety with secondary endpoints including change in pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether iloprost inhalation solution is safe in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and elevated pulmonary arterial pressure. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment in subjects with this disease.

To determine the effects of cyclophosphamide compared with prednisone, dapsone, or high-dose intermittent 'pulse' therapy with methylprednisolone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Also, to evaluate the use of intermittent, short-term, high-dose intravenous corticosteroids in patients with sarcoidosis. There were actually four separate clinical trials.

The innovative drug Treamid is planned for use in the rehabilitation of patients after COVID-19 pneumonia in a pilot, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of Treamid, tablets, 50 mg in patients with fibrotic changes in the lungs after COVID-19 pneumonia during a 28-day treatment. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Treamid tablet, 50 mg in change in forced vital capacity (FVC) and/or diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at Week 4. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of Treamid tablet, 50 mg and pharmacokinetics (PK).

This is a Phase 1A, first in human, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study of PMG1015 in healthy adult volunteers. PMG1015 is a monoclonal antibody, being developed as a novel therapeutic treatment for patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of PMG1015 after Single ascending doses (SAD).
