Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether extension of the conducting airways into the distal lung, or bronchiolization, occurs early in the course of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a disease wherein normal lung structures are destroyed and replaced by non-functional scar tissue.

The aim of the study is to assess the peripheral endothelial function in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the relationship between the peripheral endothelial function and the severity of the IPF.

This is a multi-center, non-interventional study to assess and describe course and outcomes in patients diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) who are treated with Esbriet (pirfenidone) in Canada, by measuring and reporting observed predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) change from baseline on an ongoing basis.

Background: - Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease that becomes worse over time. There is currently no effective treatment for it. Researchers want to study the disease and learn new ways to treat it. Objectives: - To discover new pathways that are involved in pulmonary fibrosis. To develop new drugs that may be used to treat pulmonary fibrosis. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old with IPF. Healthy volunteers at least 18 years old. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, questionnaire, and physical exam. They will have blood, lung, and walking tests and chest scans. All participants will have 1 study visit, including: Medical history and physical exam. Questions about their breathing. Blood tests. Breathing tests. Six-minute walk test. Pregnancy test. Chest x-ray (healthy volunteers) or chest CT scan (people with pulmonary fibrosis ). Small area of skin may be removed. Genetic tests of blood and skin samples. Participants will probably not be informed of any findings. Samples may be used to make stem cells for use in research. Participants may be contacted in the future to give consent for this research. Some participants will have repeat visits over many years, repeating many of the study tests.

The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis is complex, and there is no specific biomarkers, the treatment effect is not such useful. Currently, it is discovered that Chinese medicine treatment may be effective. The investigators select patients with idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and healthy controls, use metabolomics to study the biological characteristics of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, screen biomarkers of IPF, and label different TCM syndromes of IPF, explore the biological nature of IPF TCM syndromes, find the biological changes that occur during the development and progression of IPF and explore the metabolite marker clusters of IPF. Furthermore, the results of this study may find its diagnostic significance for IPF and Looking for potential targets for future treatment of IPF.

This is an active surveillance study to monitor the real world safety of nintedanib in Indian patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The safety of nintedanib has been assessed in clinical trials.This active surveillance aims to collect the safety data of 200 IPF patients treated with nintedanib in approved indication after the commercial availability of the drug in India (23rd January 2017). The objective is to look at safety of nintedanib in the real world setting.

This multicenter, post-marketing, observational study will evaluate quality of life in participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) under treatment with pirfenidone (Esbriet).

The study team hypothesizes that intermittent (3 doses administered over 3 consecutive days in 3 consecutive weeks) oral administration of combination Dasatinib (100 mg/d) + Quercetin (1250 mg/d) will be safe and well tolerated in patients with IPF. Treatment with D+Q will result in reduced abundance of pro-inflammatory cells within subjects over baseline. Finally, the reduction in biomarkers of cellular pro-inflammatory state will be related to no change in functional and patient reported outcomes.

The objectives of this study are to monitor the safety and effectiveness of Ofev in Korean patients in a routine clinical practice setting.

case-control study was conducted between December 2018 to April 2020. To document outcome of IPF with pregnancy.
