Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Fibrosis"

Although exercise-induced desaturation is frequently observed in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) short-term effects of supplemental oxygen during walking have not been investigated yet. Given, that walking ability is the most important activity of daily life, the aim of our study is to investigate the effects of supplemental oxygen on endurance walking capacity in hypoxemic IPF patients. In this study patients will perform 3 endurance shuttle walk tests (ESWTs) at 85% of their individual peak performance using medical air (=compressed room air, 2 liters/minute), 2 liters/minute oxygen, 4 liters/minute Oxygen in a double-blinded fashion and random order. Since there are only limited pharmacological treatment options for IPF patients, this study may help to provide novel information about the short-term effects of supplemental oxygen. Furthermore it may help to investigate possibilities to optimize oxygen therapy in order to facilitate patients´ participation in activities of daily life and not at least to improve patients´ quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the intravenous drip infusion of ART-123 in patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group comparison study, and to confirm its superiority over placebo with survival rate on Day 90 as the primary endpoint.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and ultimately fatal disease characterized by a progressive damage of lung structure and decline in lung function.This study intends to carry out an open, single-center, non-randomized, self control phase I clinical trial. During the treatment, lung stem cells will be isolated from patients' own bronchi and expanded in vitro. Cultured cells will be injected directly into the lesion by fiberoptic bronchoscopy after lavage. After 24-week observation, the investigators will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment by measuring the key clinical indicators.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 6-month study followed by a 6 month open-label extension phase to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MN-001 in moderate to severe IPF patients. MN-001 750 mg or matching placebo will be orally administered twice daily over a 26 week period in subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of IPF per the ATS )American Thoracic Society) 2011 Guidelines. Approximately 15 subjects are planned to be enrolled. This study will consist of two treatment arms, MN-001 and matching placebo. Randomization will occur in a 2:1 ratio (MN-001: placebo). Eligible subjects will consist of males and females ranging in age from 21 to 80 years old, inclusive. The study will consist of a Screening Phase (up to 3 months prior to Day1) followed by a 26 week double-blind Treatment Phase, a 26 week Open-Label Extension (OLE) phase and a Follow-up Visit (within 4 weeks after the last dose).

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm study of the safety and tolerability of PBI-4050 800 mg daily oral administration in 40 adult patients with IPF.

The purpose of this study is to determine wether pirfenidone is safe and effective in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with anti-myeloperoxydase (MPO) antibodies or pulmonary fibrosis with anti-MPO associated vasculitis.

The study evaluates the safety and the efficacy of the addition of intravenous transplantation of donor bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or connective tissue disease associated with interstitial lung disease, which have actively progressing disease with rapid loss of pulmonary function on the background of routine treatment.

This is a single arm, multicenter, open-label, Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of vismodegib in combination with pirfenidone in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) currently being treated with pirfenidone.

To assess efficacy and safety of concomitant treatment with nintedanib and sildenafil in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients with advanced lung function impairment.

The purpose of this study is to look at whether bortezomib, mycophenolate or the combination of both is better to treat scarring of the lung caused by Systemic Sclerosis.
