Analysis of Specimens From Individuals With Pulmonary Fibrosis
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...

An Atlas of Airways at a Single Cell Level in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Controls
The increasing incidence of chronic respiratory disease is a public health problem that affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide at all ages. Directly exposed to atmospheric airborne contaminants (pollution, allergens), the respiratory tract represents a complex ecosystem involving different cells (multiciliated, basal, mucosecretory, neuroendocrine, etc.) that develop complex interactions with the surrounding connective tissue but also with their rich immune environment and the local microbiota. Although a pathophysiological continuum is postulated between the nasal and bronchial airways in certain diseases, such as...

An Extension Study of Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder (TPIP) for Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD)
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the long-term use of TPIP in participants with PH-ILD from Study INS1009-211 (NCT05176951) and other lead-in studies of TPIP in participants with PH-ILD.

A Non-pharmacological Cough Control Therapy
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...

An RCT of Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) in Fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
To our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in the treatment of HP. We aim to perform a randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of a regimen consisting of MMF and prednisolone against a regimen consisting of prednisolone alone for treating fibrotic HP. We hypothesize that the treatment of patients with fibrotic HP with MMF and prednisolone will be more effective and safer than treatment with prednisolone alone.

Anxiety Management in Breathlessness.
The goal of this mixed methods study is to learn about cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) using Alpha-Stim AID in anxiety related to breathlessness in advanced lung diseases. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is CES using Alpha-Stim AID acceptable and tolerable as a potential treatment in the management of anxiety in patients who experience breathlessness due to advanced chronic respiratory disease? - What are the key factors that will inform the design of a study to examine its potential clinical effectiveness? Participants will choose whether they want to trial the CES for ...

A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of HuL001
This is a first-in-human, two-part, Phase 1 study that will characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of HuL001.

A Phase 2 Study of APX-115 in Hospitalized Patients With Confirmed Mild to Moderate COVID-19.
This phase 2 study is to assess the safety and tolerability of APX-115 active doses compared to placebo following multiple oral dosing in hospitalized patients with confirmed, mild to moderate, symptomatic COVID-19. It is anticipated that approximately 80 patients will be randomized into the study in a 1:1 ratio to 100 mg APX-115 or placebo arm.

A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of L606 in Subjects With PAH or PH-ILD
This Phase 3, 2-part, open-label, multicenter study aims to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of L606 in patients with PAH or PH-ILD. The study will determine the short-term and long-term safety and tolerability of L606 in this patient population; also evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of L606 as compared to Tyvaso, effects on exercise ability, quality of life, and treatment satisfaction with L606.
