Active clinical trials for "Fibrosis"

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BG00011 compared with placebo in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The secondary objectives of this study are: to evaluate the efficacy of BG00011 compared with placebo in participants with IPF as determined by change in percent predicted forced (expiratory) vital capacity (FVC); to assess progression-free survival in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo; to assess the occurrence of IPF exacerbation in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo; to assess the incidence of absolute decline in FVC ≥10% in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo; to assess the time to death or lung transplantation in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo, and the transplant-free survival rate at Week 26 and Week 52; to assess the time to non-elective hospitalizations in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo; to assess additional pulmonary function test (PFT) findings in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo; To assess performance on the 6 minute walk test (6MWT) in participants who receive BG00011 compared with placebo; to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BG00011; and to evaluate the serum concentration of BG00011.

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of Hypothiocyanite (OSCN-), bovine lactoferrin (bLF) and their combination (ALX-009) in healthy male volunteers and patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis (NCFBE).

We propose to test the effectiveness of the combination of CF pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) on absorption of Ravicti® and subsequent restoration of nasal epithelial cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated chloride transport during the nasal potential difference (NPD) test.

The hypothesis being tested is that inhibition of the enzyme known as elastase in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis will help decrease the number of bacteria. Alpha1 antitrypsin, an elastase inhibitor, will be given to patients with cystic fibrosis by aerosol therapy twice in 1 day and sputum will be collected to measure the density of bacteria

The primary objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of ataluren in participants with nonsense mutation cystic fibrosis (nmCF) who completed participation in the double-blind study PTC124-GD-009-CF (NCT00803205), as assessed by adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The secondary objective of this study includes the assessment of the efficacy of ataluren, as measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and pulmonary exacerbation rate, and other safety parameters (for example, 12-lead electrocardiogram [ECG] measurements, vital signs).

To provide efficacy and safety data comparing two dosing schedules of Tobramycin Inhalation Powder (TIP) for the treatment of pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a fatal, recessive genetic disorder characterized by progressive inflammation and lung damage. It is unclear whether current treatment strategies, which focus on detection and eradication of pathogenic microorganisms in the lung, are the best way to prevent the initiation of early inflammation and lung damage. This study asks how early acquisition of microbial flora occurs in infants with CF and healthy baby controls, and whether this process initiates or influences early inflammation and clinical disease progression in CF.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of antibiotic therapy with any antibiotic (IV) and IV (Nebcin®) tobramycin for 5 days followed by Solution for nebuliser inhalation (Tobi®) for 9 days and antibiotic cures using 14 days of tobramycin IV. In the case of positive results, the reduction of the duration of IV treatment of tobramycin from 14 days to 5 days would limit the risk of toxicity.

Numerous studies show that remote monitoring and/or telenursing improves outcomes for patients especially those with chronic diseases. It is proposed that structured telenursing with non-invasive home monitoring of forced vital capacity and oxygen saturation in newly diagnosed patients with IPF will decrease hospitalizations for respiratory illness, increase compliance with therapies, and ultimately increase quality of life.

The aim of this study is to assess the utility of nintedanib therapy in addition to usual transplant care in single lung transplant recipients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The investigators hypothesize that in IPF subjects who undergo single lung transplantation the administration of nintedanib 150 mg twice daily in addition to usual transplant care will result in better preservation of lung function at 24 months.
