Active clinical trials for "Fibrosis"

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the UK s most common inherited genetic condition and affects more than 10,500 people. The disease causes problems with the movement of salt and water in the body, resulting in sticky mucus building up, mostly in the lungs and gut. Thick mucus in the airways leads to repeated infections which, over time, damage the lungs. Chest physiotherapy is prescribed to loosen and clear sticky thick mucus from the airways and so to help to reduce lung infection. Chest physiotherapy is a routine treatment to keep people with CF healthy. However, many say it is time-consuming and a burden. People with CF have asked if doing exercise could have the same effect as chest physiotherapy sessions for helping clear mucus. Exercise could be more enjoyable and less burdensome. Through a recognised priority setting partnership, the CF community recently ranked research to reduce the burden of their care and answer whether exercise can replace chest physiotherapy , as their number 1 and 7 priorities. Surveys show that many people with CF have occasionally chosen to replace chest physiotherapy with exercise for airway clearance, and we recently confirmed this through a UK-wide survey. It is not known if they would be willing to take part in research that asks some to stop chest physiotherapy and to exercise (with coughs and huffs) instead. New medicine (modulators) have recently become available for many people with CF, bringing dramatic improvements in their health. Some people who have started modulators are considering whether they can reduce or stop treatments - including chest physiotherapy. So, the effects of stopping chest physiotherapy need to be investigated and also if exercise can be used instead - this research study aims to understand this. A recent survey in people with CF, their families, physiotherapists and doctors, conducted by this research team, showed us that many consider hard exercise with coughs and huffs to be able to clear mucus from the airways. This study will recruit 50 people with CF (>12 years old) for 28-days. This study will ask half of them to continue their usual care, and half to stop chest physiotherapy and do exercise that gets them breathing deeply (with coughs and huffs) instead. This study will see if people are willing to start and continue with such a study and what they think of the study processes. It will also see how stopping chest physiotherapy and replacing it with exercise affects measurements of their lung function. The study will also involve talking with people with CF and members of their CF team to understand their experiences. This information will reveal whether a larger study can answer the question of whether certain forms of exercise can safely be used as an alternative to chest physiotherapy.

This is a prospective, phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CSL312 in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

OCE-205 is being tested to treat participants who have developed Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury as a complication of cirrhosis with ascites. The study aims are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OCE-205 at various doses. Participants will receive treatment by intravenous infusion. Participants will continue with this treatment until participants meets primary endpoint or any discontinuation criteria.

This study will evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacodynamics of ELX/TEZ/IVA in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) with at least 1 non-F508del ELX/TEZ/IVA-responsive CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation.

The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of a digital cognitive behavioural therapy for patients with pulmonary fibrosis on anxiety. The study is decentralized and participation is not limited to patients living close to the sites.

In this single centre non-randomised pilot cohort study we wish to quantify the effect of a twice weekly, 8 week, structured responsive exercise training programme on exercise tolerance, symptoms and health related quality of life in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). We also wish to assess the effect of exercise training on fibrotic processes causing IPF through measurement of blood biomarkers of disease activity.

This is a Phase 3 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 30 milligrams (mg)/kilogram (kg) intravenous (IV) infusions of pamrevlumab administered every 3 weeks as compared to placebo in participants with IPF.

This study will assess the safety of inhaled sodium nitrite in adults with Cystic Fibrosis and chronic Pseudomonas infections, and determine the ability of sodium nitrite to reduce the burden of Pseudomonas.

Jaktinib Dihydrochloride Monohydrate for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a new prodrug of tenofovir developed to treat patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Whereas, the long-term effect of TAF to liver fibrosis is still unknown. Here, we enrolled treatment naive CHB patients with biopsy-proven significant fibrosis (METAVIR fibrosis stage ≥ F2). All enrolled subjects will be treated with TAF monotherapy for 96 weeks. After 96 weeks of therapy, the second liver biopsy will be performed to evaluate the rate of liver fibrosis regression. During this study, all subjects will be assessed for laboratory tests, imaging examination at baseline, first 12-week and every 24-week during follow-up.
