Safety and Efficacy of Venetoclax in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Based on preclinical data, investigators hypothesize that apoptosis resistance in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) have a decisive role in the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Specifically, macrophages from subjects with IPF have increased expression of Bcl-2 in mitochondria. In preclinical models of IPF, a conditional deletion of Bcl-2 in MDMs reverses established fibrosis by inducing apoptosis. Additional evidence to suggest that Bcl-2 expression in MDM mitochondria is a therapeutic target for IPF as administration of the Bcl-2 inhibitor, ABT-199 (Venetoclax), showed marked efficacy in preclinical models of...

Safety, Tolerability, PK and PD Study of AD-214 Administered to Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease or Chronic Kidney Disease
This is a Phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of a 10 mg/kg dose of AD-214 when administered to healthy volunteers (HVs) (Part A) or patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Part B). The study will be performed in Australia at up to two clinical sites.

Self-efficacy and Well-being of Patients With Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease
Patients with fibrotic insterstitial lung disease (ILD) participating in inpatient rehabilitation or in outpatient pulmonary care will be invited to participate in this observational study. Patients will fill out questionnaire regarding quality of life and symptoms at baseline and follow-up (at the end of rehabilitation or after the second outpatient ILD consultation). Additionally, clinical data obtained in clinical routine or for the IIP registry will be used for this project. The aim is to assess changes in self-efficacy and quality of life over time and to establish a control cohort for a later feasibility study on a...

Skeletal Muscle Function in Interstitial Lung Disease
Dyspnea (i.e. breathlessness) and exercise intolerance are common symptoms for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), yet it is not known why. It has been suggested that muscle dysfunction may contribute to dyspnea and exercise intolerance in ILD. Our study aims to: i) examine differences in the structure and function of the leg muscles in ILD patients, ii) determine if leg muscle fatigue contributes to dyspnea and exercise limitation in patients with ILD, and iii) determine the effects of breathing extra oxygen on leg muscle fatigue, as well as ability to exercise in ILD patients.

Soluble Programmed Death 1 (sPD1) is a Diagnostic Biomarker of ILD in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease
1. Evaluate the levels of serum (sPD1) in RA patients with ILD and those without. 2. Detect subclinical RA-ILD for early diagnosis and management of this devastating manifestation of RA

Sputum Cytometry Guided Management for the Elimination of Chronic Cough in Patients With ILD
In Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) there is thickening of lung tissue, which makes it difficult for patients to breathe and get enough oxygen into their bodies. In addition to shortness of breath, daily cough is very common, with 4 out of 5 patients experiencing this symptom. Cough in particular has a major impact on the ability to exercise, be active, and to simply enjoy life. There are many reasons for cough in ILD, and very often there are multiple overlapping causes. It is hard to improve cough in these patients, with available medicines providing limited relief. One explanation for this gap is an incomplete understanding of...

Study Evaluating INS018_055 Administered Orally to Subjects With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about INS018_055 in adults with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of INS018_055 orally administered for up to 12 weeks in adult subjects with IPF compared to placebo.

Study of Salvage Therapy to Treat Patients With Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis
The purpose of this study is to identify the most promising therapeutic strategy for patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and inadequate response to standard of care therapy. It will evaluate the efficacy to induce remission of three different salvage strategies including: a combination of rituximab with addition of a conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (either methotrexate, azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil, but preferentially methotrexate); tocilizumab; or abatacept.
