Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (FILDs) encompass a group of rare diseases characterized by progressive pulmonary fibrosis leading to respiratory failure. Current treatments primarily aim to slow disease progression but remain limited, making lung transplantation the ultimate recourse. The development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the context of FILDs significantly worsens …
In interstitial lung disease (ILD), the extent of ILD on chest computed tomography (CT) is recognized as an important prognostic factor. Automated tools are now available to quantify ILD, but there is a lack of data on the reproducibility of this measurement and therefore its accuracy. Therefore, the purpose of …
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a broad category of heterogeneous lung diseases with different etiologies and features characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the lung parenchyma and manifested as exertional dyspnea, interstitial patterns on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and abnormal pulmonary function tests (PFTs) The aim of this …
This study is a prospective investigation comparing the efficacy and safety of Janus kinase inhibitors versus calcineurin inhibitors as initial therapy for interstitial lung disease associated with antisynthetase syndrome. The goal is to determine which treatment is more effective at improving lung function and preventing disease progression, while comparing their …
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of REGEND001, an autologous bronchial basal layer stem cell therapy, in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The treatment involves harvesting the patient's own stem cells (expressing KRT5/P63 markers), expanding them ex vivo, and administering them via bronchoscopic infusion to regenerate damaged …
Non-neoplastic pulmonary proliferative diseases are characterized by a complex interaction between proliferating lung cells and a variety of resident and infiltrating host cells, secreted factors, and extracellular matrix proteins, collectively referred to as the microenvironment. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) refers to a specific condition characterized by chronic interstitial pneumonia and …
This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and accessibility of SUPPORT-T, a digitally delivered palliative care intervention for patients with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF) and their caregivers. The intervention includes a 9-week digital application guided by a nurse interventionist and quarterly virtual support groups over one year. Participants …
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of L-menthol on breathlessness and exercise capacity in patients with Interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) is a problem in the lungs causing children to have a wet cough for more than 4 weeks. PBB is also known to start before and cause other lung diseases and to affect children's quality of life. It is difficult to know if a child has …
This study is being done to learn more about a new medicine called PF-08634404. The study team wants to understand how well it works when given alone or with chemotherapy. The study is for adults with early stage or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that may or may …
