Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Fibrosis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Written Disclosure Therapy (WDT) is of any benefit to patients with chronic lung diseases who are participating in pulmonary rehabilitation.

BUILD 3 is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, event-driven, group sequential, phase III superiority study. The primary objective is to demonstrate that bosentan delays disease worsening or death in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Octreotide is a somatostatin analog with a long half-life in vivo. Octreotide has interesting anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties in vitro and in vivo. Somatostatin receptors are increased and Octreotide uptake is increased in the lung in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Our hypothesis is that octreotide may slow the degradation of lung function in patients with IPF. In this proof of concept study, patients with IPF will receive an intramuscular injection of slow release octreotide (Sandostatin LP, 30 mg)every 4 weeks for 48 weeks. Lung function (FVC, DLCO), HRCT scores for fibrosis and ground glass, 6 minute walking test,quality of life and survival will be monitored.

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.

An open label, 2-part, one-sequence, 3-period study to evaluate drug-drug interactions between DWN12088 and Pirfenidone or Nintedanib in healthy volunteers

Examination of pirfenidone (Esbriet®) therapy in coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung) with pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lung).

Alveolar macrophages isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with clinically significant lung fibrosis will be studied at baseline and at 6 months after enrollment to assess longitudinally the presence and persistence of an emergent, pro-fibrotic alveolar macrophage population, using single cell RNA-Seq technology to measure the individual transcriptome from each cell.

The aims of this study are to determine whether neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps muscle is acceptable to patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and staff and whether it can impact clinical and healthcare resource usage outcomes. .

An open label study to evaluate drug-drug interactions between HEC585 and Pirfenidone or Nintedanib in healthy volunteers

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, dose escalation study of gefapixant (AF-219) in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) with persistent cough.
