Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled safety and tolerability study of N-acetylcysteine or placebo in participants with mild to moderate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) receiving background pirfenidone therapy.

The investigators will conduct a single-center, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind pilot study of anti-herpesvirus therapy in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Patients with mild, moderate or severe IPF with serologic evidence of current or past Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Randomization will be to pirfenidone plus placebo or pirfenidone plus valganciclovir. Thirty subjects will be enrolled and randomized to treatment with pirfenidone plus valganciclovir (20 subjects) or pirfenidone plus placebo (10 subjects) for 12 weeks. The primary outcome will be safety and tolerability will be determined by type, frequency and duration of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) after 12 weeks of study drug treatment. All study subjects will be offered bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at study initiation and upon completion of treatment (12 weeks). Subjects will then be followed up at routine clinic visits at 6, 9 and 12 months for data collection.

In this study it will be investigate whether a home monitoring program improves disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) through appropriate medication use and subsequently results in better objective and subjective outcomes.

TRK-250 is a nucleic acid medicine that inhibits the progression of pulmonary fibrosis by selectively suppressing the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) protein, at the gene expression level. This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase I study. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple inhaled doses of TRK-250 in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending and multiple ascending oral doses of NIP292 tablets administered following an overnight fast in healthy adult subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the possible efficacy of low dose, orally administered interferon alpha in subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether low concentration inhaled carbon monoxide is effective in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneously (SC) administered multiple, escalating doses of BG00011 (a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the alpha v beta 6 (αvβ6) integrin, formerly known as STX-100) in participants with IPF. The Secondary objectives are to estimate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters after the 1st dose and after the last dose of multiple, escalating doses of BG00011 in participants with IPF, to assess the immunogenicity of BG00011 in participants with IPF, and to assess the effect of BG00011 on biomarkers isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and peripheral blood in participants with IPF.

PIPF-016 (ASCEND) is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Phase 3 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Pirfenidone in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The study objectives are to confirm the treatment effect of pirfenidone compared with placebo on change in percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to confirm the safety of treatment with pirfenidone compared with placebo in patients with IPF.
