Active clinical trials for "Fibrosis"

Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is characterized by chronic bacterial colonization and recurrent infection of the airways. Lowering the airway surface liquid (ASL) salt concentration has been shown to increase activity of salt sensitive antimicrobial peptides. Xylitol is a 5-carbon sugar that can lower the ASL salt concentration, thus enhancing innate immunity.In this study, the investigators plan to study the safety and efficacy of 2 weeks of inhaled xylitol compared to 2 weeks of hypertonic saline in a randomized crossover design in stable subjects with cystic fibrosis

Study to assess safety and tolerability of a single dose of study-drug administered to Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tolvaptan 7.5mg and 15mg in treatment of patients with cirrhosis ascites who fail to response adequately to treatment with common diuretics.

Probiotics, due to their ability to modulate intestinal flora, intestinal permeability and immune response, could decrease bacterial translocation and improve immune system alterations in cirrhosis. This could lead not only to improvement in liver function and to prevent bacterial infections and other complications but also to improve CD and to avoid its consequences falls, HRQoL deterioration). Recently, the investigators have observed that VSL#3 administration to rats with experimental cirrhosis decreases bacterial translocation, inflammatory response and ascites formation, without changes in intestinal flora. This suggests an improvement in intestinal barrier that deserves further investigation. VSL#3, through decreasing intestinal bacterial translocation and immune system modulation, could improve cognitive function and prevent the consequences of CD, including falls and HRQoL deterioration, in patients with cirrhosis.

The purpose of this study is to confirm and extend the Phase 1-2 KB001 findings of an airway anti-inflammatory effect in CF individuals with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) airway infection. It is hypothesized that steady-state levels of KB001-A in CF subjects with airway Pa infection will be safe and well-tolerated, and will increase the time-to-need for antibiotic treatment (IV, inhaled, or oral) for worsening of respiratory tract signs and symptoms compared with placebo.

The purpose of the study is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of EUR-1008 as compared to Kreon® in the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency associated with Cystic Fibrosis in subjects 12 years of age and older.

The purpose of this Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Two-period Crossover Study is to Assess the Efficacy and Tolerability of Burlulipase (NM-BL) in Patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency due to Cystic Fibrosis

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of simtuzumab (formerly GS-6624) in HIV and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected adults with evidence of liver fibrosis.

This is a 48-week extension study to CMA-0631-PR-0010 Core Study. Patients who have a positive culture for P. aeruginosa at visit 4 of the first 8-week core study period and/or if deemed appropriate by the Investigators will be able to be included in the 48-week follow-on period (Extension Study) to continue the treatment only with Bramitob® (tobramycin nebuliser solution, 300 mg twice daily in 4 mL unit dose vials).

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that makes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. A specific type of mutation called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of CF in approximately 10% of patients with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study is a Phase 3 extension trial that will evaluate the long-term safety of ataluren in adult and pediatric participants with nonsense mutation CF (nmCF), as determined by adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The study will also assess changes in pulmonary function, CF pulmonary exacerbations, health-related quality of life, antibiotic use for CF-related infections, CF-related disruptions to daily living, body weight, and CF pathophysiology. Funding source for this study is the FDA OOPD.
