A Study to Find Out Whether BI 1015550 Improves Lung Function in People With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
This study is open to adults with a lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are 40 years or older. If they already take nintedanib or pirfenidone for their IPF, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with IPF. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not ...

A Study to Find Out Whether BI 1015550 Improves Lung Function in People With Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs)
This study is open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550...

A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) in Patients With IPF
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of CHF10067 (the study drug) and any side effects that might be associated with it. In addition, the study will evaluate how much of the study drug gets into the bloodstream and how long the body takes to remove it. The body's immune response to the study drug will also be evaluated. The study may also evaluate the effect of the study drug on the level of a certain protein in the body. Chiesi is conducting this study on people affected by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, a lung disease). The reason Chiesi is doing this study is to establish the doses suitable for future...

A Study to Test Different Imaging Techniques in Patients With Different Types of Interstitial Lung Disease
The main objectives of this imaging biomarker study are to assess the annual lung function change in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) or probable UIP Computer Tomography (CT) pattern, and to monitor lung structural changes.

A Study to Test How Well a Medicine Called Nintedanib Helps People in China With Progressive Lung Fibrosis
This study in China is open to people with progressive lung fibrosis (chronic fibrosing ILDs with progressive phenotype) who are at least 18 years old. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called nintedanib helps people with progressive lung fibrosis. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. 1 group gets nintedanib as capsules twice a day. The other group gets placebo as capsules twice a day. Placebo capsules look like nintedanib capsules but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times. At...

A Study With Tovorafenib (DAY101) as a Treatment Option for Progressive, Relapsed, or Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in ...

Atezolizumab for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor approved for the treatment of various cancers, in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Autoantibody Reduction for Acute Exacerbations of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Acute exacerbations (AE) are a dreaded manifestation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that presents with rapidly worsening respiratory function over days to weeks. AE account for about 1/2 the deaths in IPF patients, and are refractory to all medical therapies attempted to date. Considerable preliminary data shows pathological B-cell abnormalities and autoantibodies are present in AE-IPF and associated with disease severity. The experimental therapy here (therapeutic plasma exchange plus rituximab plus intravenous immunoglobulin) is mechanistically targeted to ameliorate autoantibody-mediated pulmonary injury....

Autologous Lung Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Interstitial Lung Diseases
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a group of diseases affecting the lung interstitium. The lung scarring that occurs in ILD is often irreversible with only mitigating therapy available so far. This study intends to carry out an open, single-armed, phase I/II clinical trial to investigate whether lung stem cells can regenerate damaged lung tissue. During the treatment, lung stem cells will be isolated from patients' own bronchi and expanded in vitro. After careful characterization, cultured cells will be injected directly into the lesion by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The safety and efficacy of the treatment will be monitored by ...

Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a regimen of high-dose immunoablative therapy will demonstrate safety that is consistent or improved with other published regimens in SSc patients, while maintaining a treatment effect.
