NCT06238622
This study is open to people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). They can only take part if they have completed treatment in a previous study with a medicine called nerandomilast or BI 1015550. The goal of this study is to find out how well people with pulmonary fibrosis tolerate long- term treatment with nerandomilast. The study also tests whether nerandomilast improves lung function and prolongs the time until symptoms get worse, participants need to go to the hospital, or die. Every participant takes nerandomilast as tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months. The participants may also continue their regular treatment for pulmonary fibrosis during the study. Participants visit their doctors regularly. During these visits, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Participants also regularly do lung function tests.
NCT07396467
This retrospective observational study evaluates immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related outcomes in lung cancer patients with concomitant pulmonary fibrosis/interstitial lung disease (ILD) and determines how fibrosis/ILD modifies immunotherapy effectiveness and safety. The study characterizes the clinical, radiographic, pathological, and molecular features of lung cancer with ILD and examines their associations with ICI response and survival. A comparator cohort of lung cancer patients without radiographic ILD from the same institution and time period is included to compare ICI effectiveness (e.g., response and survival outcomes) and pulmonary toxicity signals, including pneumonitis and acute ILD exacerbation. In a translational sub-study, archived lung tumor specimens undergo single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling to identify fibrosis-associated tumor-microenvironment programs that may underlie differential immunotherapy outcomes.
NCT07299695
Acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) are sudden and severe worsening episodes that can be life-threatening. Currently, no treatment has been proven to clearly improve outcomes during these events. Inflammation and immune system imbalance are thought to play an important role in causing AE-IPF. Early clinical experience suggests that intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can be beneficial for patients suffering from AE-IPF. This clinical trial aims to determine whether adding IVIG to usual treatment can improve outcomes for patients hospitalized with AE-IPF.
NCT07466420
Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (F-ILDs), including both idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF, are chronic and progressive lung diseases characterized by excessive scarring of lung tissue, leading to declining lung function, respiratory failure, and high mortality, despite the currently approved antifibrotic treatment. While its exact cause remains unknown, pulmonary fibrosis is strongly linked to aging, genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and cellular senescence. Ongoing research aims to identify reliable biomarkers and develop targeted treatments to enhance patient outcomes. This randomized controlled trial will examine the effects of quercetin supplementation (500 mg/day for two 12-week cycles, with one 8-week washout periods) on telomere length, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, and lung function in patients with IPF and F-ILDs. A total of 100 patients will be recruited, with half receiving quercetin (despite their standard of care therapy) and the other half receiving standard care (SOC). Primary outcomes will include changes in telomere length, SASP protein levels (IL-6, MMPs), fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), spirometry (FVC decline), and oscillometry measurements. Additionally, quality of life will be assessed using the L-IPF Questionnaire. This study aims to explore quercetin's potential to reduce fibrosis, decrease inflammation, and improve lung function in F-ILDs, offering new insights into potential novel strategies for F-ILD management.
NCT07459205
Organ fibrosis is a common end-stage pathological change in various chronic diseases, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and disruption of tissue architecture, which can involve multiple organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and intestines. Although the pathogenic triggers vary, the core molecular mechanisms are highly conserved, involving sustained activation of signaling pathways such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, and processes like epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) . Currently, histopathological biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and staging of fibrosis, but its inherent invasiveness, sampling errors, and procedural risks limit its repeated application and dynamic monitoring . In clinical practice, functional imaging modalities such as high-resolution computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonic elastography have been employed to assess fibrosis in specific organs (e.g., lungs, liver). However, these methods predominantly rely on secondary morphological or physical property alterations, exhibiting limited capacity for identifying early-stage, active molecular-level pathological processes. Additionally, they are challenging to perform for systemic, multi-target quantitative evaluation.
NCT06241560
This study is open to adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are 40 years and older. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called pirfenidone changes the amount of a medicine called BI 1015550 in the blood. Some people may take more than one medicine at a time. Therefore, it is important to understand how different medicines influence one another. Participants take one dose of BI 1015550 as a tablet. Participants then take one tablet of pirfenidone 3 times a day for one week. The dose is then increased to 2 tablets 3 times a day for the second week. In the third week the dose is increased further to 3 tablets 3 times a day. Participants then take another dose of BI 1015550 as a tablet. Participants are in the study for a little over 1 month. During this time, they visit the study site 15 times. Two of the visits include overnight stays at the study site. The study staff also contacts the participants by phone. During the visits, the doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples from the participants. They compare the amount of pirfenidone and BI 1015550 in the blood. Doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
NCT00084305
The etiology of pulmonary fibrosis is unknown. Analyses of blood, genomic DNA, and specimens procured by bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, lung transplantation, clinically-indicated extra-pulmonary biopsies, or post-mortem examination from individuals with this disorder may contribute to our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis. The purpose of this protocol is to procure and analyze blood, genomic DNA, and specimens by bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, lung transplantation, extra-pulmonary biopsies, or post-mortem examination from subjects with pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, blood, genomic DNA, clinically-indicated extra-pulmonary biopsies, as well as bronchoscopy and post-mortem examination specimens may be procured and analyzed from relatives of subjects with hereditary forms of pulmonary fibrosis; blood, genomic DNA, and bronchoscopy specimens may be procured from healthy research volunteers....
NCT07119099
The primary aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between 6PBRT outcome measures and 6MWT, 1MSTST and UULEX outcome measures. The secondary aim is to investigate the predictors of 6PBRT test.
NCT05674994
Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is associated with a poor prognosis, with a 3-month mortality rate of over 50%. To date, no treatment has been proven to be effective in AI-FPI. The interest of glucocorticoids is controversial and needs to be confirmed. This confirmation is mandatory to validate the improvement of the prognosis of EA-IPF under this treatment but also to search for unsuspected deleterious effects as it has been shown with immunosuppressants in stable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
NCT06885515
Individuals with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (FILD) will be recruited after providing informed consent. in addition to routine data as usually collected in the clinic, blood samples will be taken for measurement of telomeres length in peripheral blood leukocytes using both the Telomere Restriction Fragment (TRF) Analysis method and Nanopore sequencing. Participants with FILD will be followed-up for 2-year after recruitment, including clinical and pulmonary function tests at-least every 6 months, or more frequently, according to the treating physician discretion.
NCT06422884
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact that ENV-101 has on lung function and key measures of fibrosis in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Another goal of this study is to better understand the safety and tolerability of ENV-101 in this patient population.
