Assessment of Peripheral Endothelial Function in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Study Purpose

The aim of the study is to assess the peripheral endothelial function in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the relationship between the peripheral endothelial function and the severity of the IPF.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Eligible Ages 18 Years - 85 Years

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - IPF according to ATS/ERS 2011's criteria.
  • - Stable IPF (no reduction of FVC or DLCO of more than 10% and 15% respectively)

    Exclusion Criteria:

    - Patients with a significant disease other than IPF.
A significant disease is defined as a disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, may influence the results of the trial.
  • - Pregnant or nursing women.
  • - Non-pulmonary fibrosis.
- treatment by pulmonary vasodilators that cannot be stopped for 24 hours for the assessment of endothelial function

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02594059
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
Additional Details

The primary criteria is the peripheral endothelial function that will be assessed by the measure of flow-mediated dilation (reactive hyperemia-peripheral artery tone index). The pulmonary function will be assessed by the measures of the forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1), the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the total lung capacity (TLC) and the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). The dyspnea will be assessed with the New York Heart Association (NYHA) score. The exercise capacity will be assessed by the 6-min walk test. Pulmonary arterial pressure will be recorded through cardiac echography or catheterization.
