Trials for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients
Behavioural Intervention
Exercise Programs for COPD
This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a supervised exercise program delivered either onsite or through telehealth for adults with COPD. The study will evaluate outcomes such as breathlessness, exercise capacity, physical function
Radiopharmaceutical
FAPI PET for Lung Fibrosis
This trial is looking at how well a new imaging agent called 68-GaFAPi works in people with interstitial lung disease. The study will follow 30 patients and look at where and how much the agent accumulates in normal and diseased lung tissue.
Peptide
FAP-2286 PET Imaging for Fibrosis
This trial uses a special imaging agent to detect scarring in the liver, lungs, and heart. It targets patients with these specific types of scarring because traditional imaging might not be as effective. The agent works by binding to a protein found in scarred tissues, making them visible on a PET scan.
Cough Control Therapy for Cough
This trial aims to test a non-drug therapy to help adults with ILD manage their chronic cough. The therapy involves educational sessions that teach patients how to control their coughing. This approach is being tested because current drug treatments are not very effective and have significant side effects.
Trials for IPF Patients
Checkpoint Inhibitor
Atezolizumab for Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial is testing atezolizumab, a medicine that boosts the immune system, in people aged 50 to 80 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a lung disease with no current treatments to stop its progression. Atezolizumab may help slow down lung damage by helping the immune system fight the disease.
Mucolytic Agent
N-acetyl Cysteine for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial will compare the effect of NAC plus standard care with placebo plus standard of care in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who have the TOLLIP rs3750920 TT genotype. The study will compare the time to a composite endpoint of relative decline in lung function, first respiratory hospitalization, lung transplantation, or all-cause mortality.
Xenon MRI for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial is being done to see if MRI using inhaled hyper-polarized 129 Xenon gas can help visualize impaired lung function to detect changes over time in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients receiving approved IPF treatments.
Phase 3 Trials
Mucolytic Agent
N-acetyl Cysteine for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial will compare the effect of NAC plus standard care with placebo plus standard of care in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who have the TOLLIP rs3750920 TT genotype. The study will compare the time to a composite endpoint of relative decline in lung function, first respiratory hospitalization, lung transplantation, or all-cause mortality.
