Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

ORV-PF-01 is a two way, placebo controlled, cross-over study, to evaluate the effect of two doses of orvepitant on cough in patients with IPF.

IPF is a progressive scarring lung condition causing coughing and breathlessness. IPF patients often have reflux disease meaning stomach acid may be breathed into the lungs, potentially damaging them. Medicines which stop stomach acid production, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), can be used to reduce reflux symptoms including heartburn. Some researchers suggest PPIs also reduce IPF progression. This research aims to see if IPF progresses slower if treated with PPIs. Based on the results, we will be able to recommend whether or not IPF patients should take PPIs. This trial will involve 298 IPF patients from approximately 37 UK hospitals. At the beginning of the study, we will ask patients to start performing weekly breathing tests at home using equipment provided, and ask those with a cough to use a device to count the number of times they cough in 24hours. We will ask them to answer two questions rating their coughing and breathlessness, and complete questionnaires on their coughing, IPF, sleep habits and general condition. People will be given a PPI, called lansoprazole, or dummy tablets, twice per day for 12 months. They will be given a leaflet telling them what to do about reflux symptoms. At the end of the study, we will repeat these tests and analyse the results. We will record any side effects people may get. If people suffer side effects, they can reduce the dose. People taking medicines that interact with PPIs or have other serious medical conditions won't be able to participate. People receiving PPIs will only be able to participate if they can stop taking their medication without their heartburn returning.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jin-shui Huan-xian granule for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), establish the treatment scheme, and obtain the high quality clinical evidences.

Scarring of the lung, termed pulmonary fibrosis (PF), is a chronic, progressive, and usually fatal disorder. While two anti-fibrotic drugs have been approved for treating PF of unknown cause (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF), neither drug is curative, and nearly 40% of patients stop taking the prescribed drug within a year because of side effects. The study includes the use of saracatinib, an investigational drug originally developed to treat certain types of cancers, in the treatment of IPF in a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial. The objectives of this study are to: i) evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and to explore the efficacy of saracatinib in IPF; ii) identify biomarkers of Src kinase activity and fibrogenesis linked to pulmonary fibrosis; and iii) explore the application of these biomarkers to assess the anti-fibrotic effect of saracatinib in IPF patients

This is a first-in-human, two-part, Phase 1 study that will characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of HuL001.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lung disease that limits the ability to breathe enough for a good workout. One way to improve the exercise training is to reduce the number of muscles being trained together. By training one leg at a time, the patient does not have to breathe as much allowing each leg a better workout. Our groundwork suggests it may work in patients with IPF. This study will help decide whether one-legged exercise training is better at improving a patient's exercise endurance compared to the usual way of exercising with both legs at the same time.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARO-MMP7 in normal healthy volunteers (NHVs) and in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study will initiate with NHVs receiving single ascending doses of ARO-MMP7. Following evaluation of safety and pharmacodynamic (PD) data, participants will receive multiple doses of ARO-MMP7.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of CHF10067 (the study drug) and any side effects that might be associated with it. In addition, the study will evaluate how much of the study drug gets into the bloodstream and how long the body takes to remove it. The body's immune response to the study drug will also be evaluated. The study may also evaluate the effect of the study drug on the level of a certain protein in the body. Chiesi is conducting this study on people affected by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, a lung disease). The reason Chiesi is doing this study is to establish the doses suitable for future studies in subjects

SRN-001 is a novel small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug being developed to treat fibrosis using Self Assembled Micelle inhibitory ribonucleic acid (SAMiRNA™) technology. Amphiregulin (AREG) is a growth factor involved in fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast transformation which is the hallmark of fibrosis in lung and kidney tissues. AREG is a downstream gene overexpressed by Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) during fibrosis, promoting fibroblast to myofibroblast transition (FMT). SRN-001 is designed to downregulate generating amphiregulin by RNA interference (RNAi). The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy participants. This trial is first-in-human clinical trial to develop SAMiRNA™ to utilize as therapeutic use.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF): It is a progressive and fatal fibrosing interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, with a median survival of only 2 to 3 years. Epidemiology of IPF (with reference to the international epidemiological studies due to the lack of accurate epidemiological data in China): the incidence was 2 to 30 per 100,000 person years, and the prevalence was 10 to 60 per 100,000. More males suffer from IPF than females. In population aged more than 65 years, the estimated prevalence was up to 400 per 100,000. Medications for IPF: Currently there is no medication with definitely significant efficacy (such as slowing down the disease progression). However, the following drugs can be used as appropriate based on the results of randomized and controlled clinical trials conducted in recent years and taking account of the patients' actual clinical conditions. Pirfenidone: It has been proven to remarkably slow down forced vital capacity (FVC) decline and reduce the risk of death to a certain degree, with the side effects of photosensitivity, asthenia, rash, stomach upset, and anorexia. Pirfenidone is recommended for IPF patients accompanying with mild to moderate pulmonary dysfunction in clinical practice. Nintedanib: It could remarkably slow down the absolute value of FVC decline in IPF patients, thereby slowing down the disease progression to a certain degree. The most common adverse reaction of Nintedanib is diarrhoea. Future therapeutic strategies for IPF: A multi-drug concomitant therapy against different therapeutic targets for pulmonary fibrosis may be a potential strategy, among which, the research and development of anti-fibrotic drugs may be most valuable in treatment of this disease, with promising potentials of halting or reversing disease progression, extending the life expectancy, improving the quality of life, and reducing the side effects.
