Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of respiratory and breathing patterns generated through impedance changes generated by a patch-type electrocardiogram device (HiCardi+ wearable patch device, Mezoo Co., Ltd.), targeting patients undergoing pulmonary function testing and ventilator application.

The purpose of this study is to assess safety and tolerability of once daily (QD) and twice daily (BID) dosing of ANG-3070 in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are treatment-naïve, refused therapy, or discontinued for any reason current standard of care with nintedanib or pirfenidone.

Xfibra, Inc. is conducting a phase 1, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of XFB-19 in healthy adult volunteers in lung fibrosis.

Molecular diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias is an innovative way to potentially improve the diagnostic accuracy of surgical lung biopsies (SLBs), introducing molecular classifiers of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) vs. non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), the 2 main types of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs). The investigators hypothesize that pre-defined gene expression profiles previously identified on large lung explants can still be identified and reproducible on smaller, clinically available surgical lung biopsies (SLBs), and can be used to increase diagnostic accuracy during multi-disciplinary discussion. The investigators also hypothesize that the expression level of individual, preselected genes that accurately differentiate IPF from NSIP on lung explants can be reproduced on SLBs. The investigators will isolate RNA from SLBs obtained from patients with IIP and perform microarray analysis to verify the reproducibility of gene expression profiles on SLBs. Individual genes expression levels will be determined by RT-PCR. The diagnosis will be determined by MDD and further validated by prospective follow-up of patients for a period of 3 years. The investigators will assess the impact of molecular diagnostic techniques on interobserver agreement during multi-disciplinary discussion. The investigators will prospectively follow the clinical course of patients after SLB for a period of 3 years to validate the diagnosis, and asses the diagnostic accuracy of molecular techniques.

Incident patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in Denmark will be offered inclusion and followed up for up to 5 years with measurements of blood biomarkers and measurements of disease progression.

Ifetroban prevents and treats lung fibrosis due to multiple causes (bleomycin, genetic, radiation). The safety and efficacy of oral ifetroban will be assessed in patients with IPF.

Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is associated with a poor prognosis, with a 3-month mortality rate of over 50%. To date, no treatment has been proven to be effective in AI-FPI. The interest of glucocorticoids is controversial and needs to be confirmed. This confirmation is mandatory to validate the improvement of the prognosis of EA-IPF under this treatment but also to search for unsuspected deleterious effects as it has been shown with immunosuppressants in stable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

RT-PCR, ELISA and other detection methods were used to detect the changes of inflammatory factors such as IL-17A in serum and urine of patients with obstructive respiratory sleep disorder and patients with idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, and to observe the differences in the changes of inflammatory factors between the two diseases. To explore the relationship between the clinical outcomes of two diseases worsening each other.

Orally administered ME-015 (Suplatast Tosilate) has been available on the market as a prescription drug for allergy-related conditions in Japan since 1995 with a very good safety and tolerability profile. There is preclinical and exploratory clinical evidence suggesting that ME-015 may be effective in treating cough caused by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF-cough). 80% of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are affected by a devastating dry cough that is often not responsive to standard cough treatments and causes significant psychological and physiological suffering as well as reduced quality of life. As of July 2023, there is no approved treatment for the indication of IPF-cough. There is an enormous unmet clinical need for an effective, safe and well-tolerated oral treatment. The COSMIC-IPF Phase 2 trial is the first clinical trial assessing ME-015 for the treatment of IPF-cough and aims to generate clinical proof-of-concept results regarding the safety and efficacy of ME-015 in this condition.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive fibrotic lung disease resulting in increasing shortness of breath, cough, and low oxygen levels as a result of lung tissue scarring . The goal of this open-label (no placebo) study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of artesunate at three different doses in patients with IPF. The secondary goals are to explore the blood biomarkers present in IPF patients at the beginning of the study and to study how those biomarkers change following treatment with artesunate. Participants will have 7 visits to the study site over 20 weeks which will include physician exams, vital signs, questionnaires, research and safety blood samples, and taking artesunate capsules by mouth for 12 weeks. Artesunate is used world-wide for the treatment of severe malaria but has also been found to block specific proteins that cause lung scarring and may provide an additional treatment to slow the fibrotic process in the lung and improve survival and quality of life for patients with IPF.
