Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Fibrosis"

LASN01 is a novel, fully human antibody directed against the human IL-11 receptor being developed for fibrosis. This study is a four-part trial consisting of Parts A, B, C and D. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the secondary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of LASN01 in healthy participants and in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) or Thyroid Eye disease (TED).

Acute exacerbations (AE) are a dreaded manifestation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that presents with rapidly worsening respiratory function over days to weeks. AE account for about 1/2 the deaths in IPF patients, and are refractory to all medical therapies attempted to date. Considerable preliminary data shows pathological B-cell abnormalities and autoantibodies are present in AE-IPF and associated with disease severity. The experimental therapy here (therapeutic plasma exchange plus rituximab plus intravenous immunoglobulin) is mechanistically targeted to ameliorate autoantibody-mediated pulmonary injury. Anecdotal pilot studies indicate these treatments have significant benefit for a disease syndrome that has, until now, been almost invariably inexorable. This clinical trial has the potential to profoundly affect current paradigms and treatment approaches to patients with AE-IPF.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a lung transplantation prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) would allow for restoration of pulmonary function prior to BMT, allowing to proceed to BMT, to restore hematologic function.

Pulmonary rehabilitation should be initiated and lifelong at the time of diagnosis for patients with IPF. However, the symptoms of the disease and its progression limit clinical options in terms of participation and sustainability in rehabilitation programs. For this purpose, patients with IPF need physiotherapy and rehabilitation options that will not increase the symptoms associated with exercise and contribute to the program in the long term. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a rehabilitation option that can be applied to specific muscle groups without the ventilator and cardiac load especially in patients who can not actively exercise or have decreased muscle strength. In adult patients with an advanced disease characterized by reduced muscle strength, the use of NMES in addition to aerobic exercise programs is recommended as part of rehabilitation programs. In the literature, no studies investigating the efficacy of NMES have been found in individuals with IPF or interstitial lung disease. NMES application in addition to aerobic exercise seems to be a reasonable option when considering the symptoms of patients with IPF and the progression of the disease. The aim of this project is to investigate the efficacy of NMES in addition to aerobic exercise in IPF patients based on evidence by objective methods.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about INS018_055 in adults with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of INS018_055 orally administered for up to 12 weeks in adult subjects with IPF compared to placebo.

Currently, there is no approved treatment for COVID-19 in France, either for the acute phase, nor for the late chronic phase. the investigator suggest that nintedanib has the potential to block the development of lung fibrosis when initiated early enough to inhibit the activation of mesenchymal cells and the progression of virus-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Computerized Tomography (CT) manifestations of fibrosis or fibrous stripes are described in COVID-19 (Ye, Eur Radiol 2020). Pan et al observed fibrous stripes in 17% patients in the early phase of the disease (Pan, Eur Radiol 2020). Ye et al observed bronchiectasis in 2 patients (15.4%) and evidence of pulmonary fibrosis in 3 patients (23.7%) at HRCT performed at 4 weeks (Ye, Eur Radiol 2020). Long term data are still lacking in patients with COVID-19 and the investigators do not know how many patients will have fibrotic sequelae from the acute illness.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, placebo controlled, multi-center study in subjects with mild to moderate IPF. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive placebo or ENV-101 as a daily oral dose for 12 consecutive weeks of treatment. Following treatment, subjects will be observed for an additional 6 weeks.

Coughing affects almost all individuals with ILD leading to physical, psychological and social distress and prevents individuals from performing their activities of daily living, working or socialising in public places. Unfortunately, there are no licensed medications available to treat chronic cough and the few drugs that have been tried resulted in little efficacy and significant side effects. Drug-free cough control interventions have shown promise in reducing the severity and impact of coughing on patients' lives but have not been tested in individuals with ILD. This study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a non-pharmacological cough control therapy, as an adjuvant of pulmonary rehabilitation, in patients with ILD and chronic cough (>8 weeks in duration).

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of n-acetylcysteine (NAC) plus standard care with matched placebo plus standard of care in patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who have the TOLLIP rs3750920 TT genotype. The study will compare the time to a composite endpoint of relative decline in lung function [10% relative decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), first respiratory hospitalization, lung transplantation, or all-cause mortality] The secondary objectives will be to examine the effect of NAC on the components of the primary composite endpoint, the rates of clinical events, change in physiology, change in health status, and change in respiratory symptoms.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of RXC007 when given for 12 weeks (84 days), alone and in combination with nintedanib or pirfenidone.
