In spite of the considerable technical difficulties, several publications confirm the potential that T1-maps and MRI to characterize pathological changes in lung tissue. However, existing literature still cannot provide a final evaluation of the presented methods. Study participants won't have any disadvantage in participating the study since all of them undergo next to the MRI-Scan also the two standard methods: CT and lung function test. In this study we will evaluate the value of chest MR compared to CT and LFT in the evaluation of morphological lung changes and their correlation to lung ventilation and perfusion.
The pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of single oral dose of DWN12088 in healthy adults will be compared and assessed on an empty stomach, after high-fat meal, or 2 hours after high-fat meal.
Immune-mediated lung injury plays a pivotal role in severe interstitial pnemumonia related to SARS-CoV2 infection. Tofacitinib, a JAK1/3-Inhibitor, could mitigate alveolar inflammation by blocking IL-6 signal. The aim of this prospective single cohort open study is to test the hypotesis that early administration of tofacitinib in patients with symptomatic pneumonia could reduce pulmonary flogosis, preventing function deterioration and the need of mechanical ventilation and/or admission in intensive care units.
Multifocal interstitial pneumonia represents the most common cause of admission in intensive care units and death in SARS-CoV2 infections. In our Hospital, similarly to what reported in literature, up to 25% of admitted patients with pneumonitis requires mechanical ventilation or oro-tracheal intubation within 5-10 days. No established treatment is available for this condition. Preliminary evidence is accumulating about the efficacy of an aggressive treatment of the corona virus-induced inflammation and, in particular, investigators believe that blocking JAK1 is clinically rewarding in down-regulating IL-6 driven inflammation in patients ...
Methodology: This is a controlled, randomized, multicenter open-label Phase Ib clinical exploratory trial in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who give informed consent will be screened for enrolment in the study. Patients that meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomly allocated in the control arm (best standard of care) or the experimental arm (best standard of care plus IN01 vaccination). The patients enrolled in the control arm of the study will receive standard of care. The primary endpoint is safety, measured by the Frequency and...
This Expanded Access Program in Belgium is open to people with different lung diseases. This program provides a medicine called nintedanib to people who have no alternative treatment options. They can participate if they have a type of lung disease called non-IPF ILDs (chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases with a progressive phenotype other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Participants take 2 capsules of nintedanib a day. The treating physician checks the health of the participants and notes health problems that could have been caused by nintedanib. Participants receive nintedanib as long as they benefit or until...
Progressive SSc is an entity with limited therapeutic alternatives and with asurvival rate of less than 45% in the first 3 to 5 years. The disease causessevere limitation in quality of life ranging from functional limitation to depression. Up to 20% of patients will be refractory to conventional treatment with diseasemodifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and cyclophosphamide therapy.This favors the progression to visceral involvement including gastrointestinal,lung and pulmonary hypertension. The latter being a poor prognostic factor,increases mortality in this group of patients and drastically affects their qualityof life. For...
