The clinical trial finder obtains information directly from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the National Institutes of Health, which provides details on publicly and privately supported clinical trials. We strongly recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider about the trials that may interest you and refer to our terms of service below.
We are interested in enhancing this finder to best serve our community. Please consider providing us with your feedback about this tool through this online survey.
A randomized, controlled pilot trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Abatacept in treating interstitial lung disease associated with the anti-synthetase syndrome.
Multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of abatacept to achieve sustained glucocorticoid-free remission in patients with relapsing non-severe granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA) . Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either abatacept 125 mg or placebo administered by subcutaneous injection once a week. Participants will continue on study treatment for a minimum of 12 months unless they experience a disease relapse or disease flare. Participants who experience a non-severe disease relapse, non-severe disease worsening, or who have not achieved remission by...
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease caused by clonal expansion, proliferation, and dissemination of cells that are phenotypically close to Langerhans cells in different tissues and organs. The clinical presentation of LCH varies greatly from one solid bone tumor to multisystem lesion that involves liver, spleen and bone marrow. The basis of LCH is the clonal proliferation of the pathological cells. These cells express CD1a and CD207 markers on their surface and originate from myeloid progenitors. The main event in life circle of these cells is the MEK-ERK cascade mutation. The most common mutation is the substitution...
A phase 2b, open label study to assess the safety and efficacy of increasing doses of pulsed, inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in subjects with pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis on long term oxygen therapy followed by a long term extension study
The long-term outcomes of adult patients with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH), particularly survival, is largely unknown. This is the first prospective study in the field evaluating the long-term outcomes of PLCH patients. This french countrywide registry-based study included a large cohort of PLCH patients followed for a sufficiently long period to address risk factors of long-term outcomes of PLCH patients.
This study plans to learn more about pulmonary fibrosis and how it develops. We want to determine if the disease can be detected early, before the lung is permanently scarred. This study will enroll participants who are not currently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, but who have family members with pulmonary fibrosis. BEcause there is an increased risk within affected families, this cohort will allow us to learn how pulmonary fibrosis develops, and how the lungs change over time.
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a highly incapacitating group of chronic respiratory diseases, leading to disabling symptoms and impaired capacity to perform activities of daily living and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It is known that people with ILD are highly inactive and sedentary, and in a severe stage of the disease, these people spend most of the time at home, increasing dependency on others, and decrease HRQoL. Physical activity is a cost-effective intervention, which increases the HRQoL, exercise capacity and ability to perform activities of daily living in people with chronic respiratory diseases. However, few ...
This is a non-interventional study based on new data collection to gather real-world information (i.e., data under routine medical practice) on safety and effectiveness of the Ofev® Capsules treatment. The study will consist of a baseline visit and follow-up visits at Week 4, 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104 for patients who have newly initiated Ofev® Capsules. The patients will be followed up until discontinuation of Ofev® Capsules treatment. As this is an observational study, no specific treatment is mandated or withheld from the patients. The choice of maintenance treatment for IPF must be according to regular medical ...
Researchers are trying to find out more about the safety of a new treatment, Allogeneic (coming from a healthy donor) Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMD-MSCs) which is still experimental, for Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) associated with Connective Tissue Disorder (CTD).
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...
