Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

This is an open label study in which eligible IPF subjects who are using supplemental oxygen at rest will receive GBT440 orally daily.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of the drug candidate IDL-2965 and to see how it is absorbed, processed, and removed by the body.

As the result of our last study "Long Term effects of an Inpatient Pulmonary Program in Patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis" already demonstrated the positive effects of a Pulmonary Rehabiliation on the mental status. In this current study the aim will be to analyse the personality type regarding anxiety and depression

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic fibrotic lung disease of unknown cause, is characterized by relentless progression, with a three-year mortality of up to 50%. IPF has high morbidity, with 90% of patients reporting dyspnea at the time of diagnosis and this is strongly correlated with quality of life and mortality. As IPF progress, breathlessness worsens, physical functional capacity declines, and health-related quality of life deteriorates. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can improve well-being in patients with other chronic lung disease, but little is known regarding PR in IPF.

This is a methodology study to examine the quantification of GSK2634673F binding in humans, with the aim of characterising a robust, non-invasive method to quantify the specific binding signal for the alpha(V)beta6 protein in human tissues. This will be the first time that this micro-dose ligand is administered to humans. The study will consist of three parts; Part A, Part B and Part C. Healthy subjects will be recruited into Parts A and B of the study in order to gain experience with the GSK2634673F positron emission tomography (PET) ligand and to optimise the scanning procedures prior to administration to IPF patients in Part C.

AMB-053-01 is a randomized, placebo controlled, multicenter study which will enroll approximately 36 subjects ages 40 and older with IPF for 6 doses over a 24-week dosing period.

This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of vismodegib in patients with IPF. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms: vismodegib or placebo. The duration of treatment will be 52 weeks. Study drug will be administered daily by the oral route. An 8-week safety follow-up period is included for all patients who receive at least one dose of study drug.

The MUSIC OL study is an open-label extension study, in which all eligible patients having completed the double-blind AC-055B201/MUSIC study as scheduled receive macitentan 10 mg once daily. The study objective is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of macitentan in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

This is a randomized, multi-center, open-label Phase II clinical trial to determine the efficacy of combined plasma exchange (PEX), rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administration, in comparison to corticosteroids alone, among patients with acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) exacerbations. The investigators central hypothesis is that antibody-mediated autoimmunity can play an important role in IPF exacerbations. The investigators propose to test our central hypothesis by establishing the efficacy of autoantibody removal by plasma exchange (PEX), in conjunction with B-cell depletion by rituximab to deplete immunoglobulins and minimize their further production, among patients with acute IPF exacerbations. The primary goal of this randomized, multi-center, open-label Phase II clinical trial is to determine effects of combined plasma exchange (PEX), rituximab, and conventional corticosteroid administration on selected, relevant immunological parameters, in comparison to effects of steroids alone, among AE-IPF patients. The investigators anticipate the findings of this will lead to larger incremental trial(s) to determine actual clinical efficacy of this treatment. A total of 40 subjects will be enrolled in this multi-center trial from 5 participating medical centers.

This study plans to learn more about the safety and tolerability of inhaled N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. The study will also create a bank of data, blood, and sputum from IPF patients for future research.
