Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

Octreotide is a somatostatin analog with a long half-life in vivo. Octreotide has interesting anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties in vitro and in vivo. Somatostatin receptors are increased and Octreotide uptake is increased in the lung in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Our hypothesis is that octreotide may slow the degradation of lung function in patients with IPF. In this proof of concept study, patients with IPF will receive an intramuscular injection of slow release octreotide (Sandostatin LP, 30 mg)every 4 weeks for 48 weeks. Lung function (FVC, DLCO), HRCT scores for fibrosis and ground glass, 6 minute walking test,quality of life and survival will be monitored.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is expressed in a variety of pulmonary pathological conditions including pulmonary vascular disease and pulmonary fibrosis. Bosentan (an oral dual ET-1 receptor antagonist) could delay the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a condition for which no established treatment is available. The present trial investigates a possible use of bosentan, which is currently approved for the treatment of symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) WHO class III and IV, to a new category of patients suffering from IPF. It was decided to offer Open Label treatment (bosentan) for patients willing to continue in the BUILD 1 study.

The aims of this study are to determine whether neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps muscle is acceptable to patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and staff and whether it can impact clinical and healthcare resource usage outcomes. .

An open label, 2-part, one-sequence, 3-period study to evaluate drug-drug interactions between DWN12088 and Pirfenidone or Nintedanib in healthy volunteers

An open label study to evaluate drug-drug interactions between HEC585 and Pirfenidone or Nintedanib in healthy volunteers

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, dose escalation study of gefapixant (AF-219) in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) with persistent cough.

This study is investigating the way the lung is damaged in a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. Research studies will be conducted on lung tissue obtained from an open lung biopsy performed by the subject's surgeon. The identification of unique genetic markers of scarred lung may ultimately lead to new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

The aim of this study is the data collection for patients with IPF and symptom matched controls to create a database of lung auscultation sounds and basic patient characteristics.

To better understand the clinical characteristics of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) / Systemic Sclerosis-associated-Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD)/ Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (PF-ILD) patients treated with nintedanib and biomarkers associated with the disease course, a non-interventional, 3-year, prospective study will be conducted to collect the long-term real-world clinical data on IPF/SSc-ILD/PF-ILD patients newly administered with nintedanib in Taiwan
