Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

A Phase 2a, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety of BLD-2660 Administered Orally in Subjects with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, kinetics and test-retest repeatability of the novel LPA1 positron emission tomography (PET) ligand 18F-BMS-986327 in healthy participants and participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

SM04646-IPF-03 is a Phase 2a, multi-center, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a single inhaled, nebulized dose of SM04646 solution over a 12-week treatment regimen in subjects with mild to moderate IPF. A total of approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in the study (approximately 12 subjects into the "non-bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL]" arm and approximately 12 subjects into the "BAL" arm). Subjects that currently do not require, have failed to tolerate, or have opted not to have treatment with pirfenidone or nintedanib will have the option of participation in the "BAL" arm or participation in the "non-BAL" arm. Subjects currently receiving treatment with pirfenidone or nintedanib must be on stable treatment for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit. Subjects currently on treatment with pirfenidone or nintedanib may participate in the "non-BAL" arm only. Eligible subjects will participate in a treatment period of 12 weeks and a follow-up period of 12 weeks. The treatment dosing pattern will follow a 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off regimen, wherein subjects will dose 5 consecutive days of each 7 day "on" week.

This is a clinical study to characterise the lung function, airway morphometry, pharyngometry and inhalation profiles in patients with mild to severe Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) over a period of up to 6 months. Inhalation profiles will be recorded from patients with IPF as they inhale during tidal breathing, and following two sets of instructions (maximal effort and 'long, steady and deep' inhalation), across a range of airflow resistances that reflect those of typical inhalers used to deliver medication to the lungs. Mouth and throat dimensions will be measured using an acoustic reflectance Pharyngometer. Measurements of lung function will be made using conventional sprirometry, plethysmography and diffusion, whilst Low Dose High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) will be used to scan the airways at two lung volumes; functional residual capacity (FRC) and total lung capacity (TLC). Data from HRCT will be used to reconstruct airway morphometry, and model inhaled particle deposition within the lung. Overall, the study allows a further understanding of the IPF patient population, using the data to assist in the development of new inhaled products for this disease. Following up the patients with additional HRCT scans at 3 and 6 months will enable the sensitivity of CT based criteria of disease progression to be compared with lung function criteria. No investigational product will be used in this study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how QAX576 affects levels of interleukin 13 (IL-13) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of pomalidomide over a 12 week duration in the treatment of chronic cough in patients with IPF as measured by a Cough Symptom Diary, Visual Analogue Scale for Cough Severity, Leicester Cough Questionnaire, St. George Respiratory Questionnaire, Cough-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, and adverse event reporting. There will be an option open to participants, who respond to treatment by meeting pre-determined criteria, to remain in the study for an additional 9 months or for a total of 54 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the study drug, known as "ATG Fresenius S," which is sometimes called "EZ-2053," to prevent a lung transplant patient's body from rejecting a transplanted lung or lungs.

The overall purpose of this project is to develop and validate a simple, non-invasive method to detect aspiration of gastro-intestinal fluid into the respiratory tract. In the inpatient setting, the investigators will compare the quantity of cromolyn detected in urine collected overnight after 4 ingestions (at 2h intervals) of a 200 mL of a 1mg/mL solution of cromolyn sodium, by 5 healthy control subjects and 5 patients (3-6 with pulmonary fibrosis; and 3-6 either awaiting or recently undergone lung transplantation) with clinical and laboratory evidence of GER (gastroesophageal reflux) with microaspiration. In the outpatient setting, the investigators will compare the quantity of cromolyn detected in urine collected overnight after 1 ingestions (at 4h intervals) of a 200 mL of a 1mg/mL solution of cromolyn sodium, by 10 patients (3-6 with pulmonary fibrosis; and 3-6 either awaiting or recently undergone lung transplantation) with clinical and laboratory evidence of GER (gastroesophageal reflux) with microaspiration.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) in the setting of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis(IPF)is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the peri-lung transplant(LT) setting. Currently there is no significant data to support the use of pulmonary vasodilators for PAH in the setting of interstitial lung disease such as IPF. The majority of IPF patients have PAH either at rest or during exercise. The study hypothesis is that sildenafil may improve morbidity and mortality in the peri-LT setting in both IPF cohorts with either resting or exercise PAH.
