Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)Xfibra, Inc. is conducting a phase 1, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of XFB-19 in healthy adult volunteers in lung fibrosis.
Post Acute Sequelae of COVID-19
Covid19Sars-CoV-2 Infection3 moreCOVID-19, a novel coronavirus, has caused widespread mortality and morbidity since it emerged in 2019. There is ongoing research and growing literature describing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV-2). There is a growing population of individuals who have recovered from acute SARS-COV-2 infection. The long-term effects of COVID-19 are unknown. There are growing reports of sequelae after acute SARS-CoV-2 not limited to fatigue, dyspnea, reactive airway disease, organizing pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary emboli, and tracheal disease. The incidence and natural history of these findings is unstudied.
Practice of Oxygenation and Respiratory Support During Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy
Acute Respiratory FailurePneumonia3 moreThe current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy is very heterogeneous among studies published in the literature; in addition, clear outcomes advantages of one strategy over another currently lack. The goal of this observational study is to describe the current practice of oxygenation and/or ventilation supports in patients undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy (FOB), stratified by baseline respiratory condition, co-morbidities, type of procedure and hospital settings. Investigators will enroll all adult patients undergoing any fiberoptic bronchoscopy in any clinical settings (from outpatients to critically ill patients). No specific exclusion criteria are indicated for enrollment in this study. Investigators will record the following data: Patient's baseline data. Type of FOB procedure: toilet bronchoscopy (for secretions, blood, mucus plugs removal), broncho-aspirate (BAS), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), brushing for cytology, biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). The type and size of bronchoscope (with or without an internal/external camera) and the time of the procedure will be also recorded. Type of supportive strategy: no support, Standard Oxygen Therapy, High Flow Nasal Cannula, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and or non invasive ventilation trough mask or helmet, invasive mechanical ventilation. Sedation Intra-procedural vital parameters Occurrence of adverse events: desaturation (i.e. SpO2< 90% for at least 10 seconds), severe desaturation (i.e. SpO2< 80%), need for procedure interruption, hypotensive (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg) or hypertensive (systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg) events, new onset of cardiac arrhythmias (specify the rhythm) or myocardial ischemia or electrocardiographic ST-alterations, neurological events (i.e. severe sensorium depression, psychomotor agitation). Post-procedural vital parameters (15 minutes after the procedure). Clinical outcomes: need for support escalation, need for admission to ward (for outpatient) or ICU (for outpatients and ward-admitted patient).
Screening for Cystic Fibrosis and Cystic Fibrosis Related Disorders in Chinese Adults With Bronchiectasis...
Cystic FibrosisPulmonaryThe study carries out Sweet Tests and CFTR-mutation screening to explore the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of cystic fibrosis, as well as the CFTR-mutation spectrum in Chinese adults with bronchiectasis. The study is multi-centered, prospective, non-interventional, and observational.
Comparison of Pulmonary Telerehabilitation and Physical Activity Recommendations in Patients With...
COVID-19Pulmonary FibrosisRehabilitation plays a very important role in the management of patients with COVID-19, focusing on respiratory and motor functions, and therefore the importance of establishing treatment strategies to ensure optimal recovery of these patients has been emphasized. It has been stated that physical activity recommendations should be clarified for the management of symptoms associated with prolonged COVID-19 Syndrome and for the continuation of activities of daily living. It has been stated that after COVID-19 pneumonia, it is necessary to evaluate the physical functions of patients with long-term follow-up and to establish rehabilitation programs. The importance of being included in the rehabilitation program was emphasized, especially for patients with lung fibrosis. The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of pulmonary telerehabilitation and physical activity recommendations on exercise capacity and peripheral muscle strength in patients with pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19. The secondary aim of this study is to compare the effects of pulmonary telerehabilitation and physical activity recommendations on symptoms, activity and participation in patients with pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19.
Pulmonary Fibrosis Biomarker Cohort - a Prospective Cohort of Incident Patients With IPF
Idiopathic Pulmonary FibrosisIncident patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in Denmark will be offered inclusion and followed up for up to 5 years with measurements of blood biomarkers and measurements of disease progression.
Efficacy and Safety of ME-015 (Suplatast Tosilate) in Cough Related to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis...
Idiopathic Pulmonary FibrosisCoughOrally administered ME-015 (Suplatast Tosilate) has been available on the market as a prescription drug for allergy-related conditions in Japan since 1995 with a very good safety and tolerability profile. There is preclinical and exploratory clinical evidence suggesting that ME-015 may be effective in treating cough caused by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF-cough). 80% of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are affected by a devastating dry cough that is often not responsive to standard cough treatments and causes significant psychological and physiological suffering as well as reduced quality of life. As of July 2023, there is no approved treatment for the indication of IPF-cough. There is an enormous unmet clinical need for an effective, safe and well-tolerated oral treatment. The COSMIC-IPF Phase 2 trial is the first clinical trial assessing ME-015 for the treatment of IPF-cough and aims to generate clinical proof-of-concept results regarding the safety and efficacy of ME-015 in this condition.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
OSA,IPFRT-PCR, ELISA and other detection methods were used to detect the changes of inflammatory factors such as IL-17A in serum and urine of patients with obstructive respiratory sleep disorder and patients with idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, and to observe the differences in the changes of inflammatory factors between the two diseases. To explore the relationship between the clinical outcomes of two diseases worsening each other.
Open-Label Dose-Escalation Treatment Study of Patients With IPF
Idiopathic Pulmonary FibrosisIdiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive fibrotic lung disease resulting in increasing shortness of breath, cough, and low oxygen levels as a result of lung tissue scarring . The goal of this open-label (no placebo) study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of artesunate at three different doses in patients with IPF. The secondary goals are to explore the blood biomarkers present in IPF patients at the beginning of the study and to study how those biomarkers change following treatment with artesunate. Participants will have 7 visits to the study site over 20 weeks which will include physician exams, vital signs, questionnaires, research and safety blood samples, and taking artesunate capsules by mouth for 12 weeks. Artesunate is used world-wide for the treatment of severe malaria but has also been found to block specific proteins that cause lung scarring and may provide an additional treatment to slow the fibrotic process in the lung and improve survival and quality of life for patients with IPF.
