Pulmonary Fibrosis Clinical Trials in Lakewood, CO

Adults 40 years of age and older with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or 18 years and older with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) can participate in this study. Only people who have a chronic cough can take part. The purpose of this study is to find out how well BI 1839100 helps reduce coughing in people with IPF or PPF. Participants who have IPF are put into 4 groups by chance. Participants in 3 groups get different doses of BI 1839100. Participants in 1 group get placebo. Placebo looks like BI 1839100 but does not contain any medicine. Participants take the treatment for 3 months. After 1 month of treatment, participants who take the highest dose will have coughing measured to find out if the medicine works. If it does not work, the study may be stopped. Participants who have IPF are in the study for slightly longer than 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site 7 times. This study will also measure the effects of BI 1839100 on coughing and lung function in a smaller group of people with PPF. During the study, coughing is measured over 24 hours about once per month using a portable device given to participants to use during the study. Participants fill in questionnaires about their coughing. Doctors also perform breathing tests that measure how well the lungs are working at the site visits. Researchers compare the results between participants who take BI 1839100 and placebo. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. Read Less

This study is open to adults 40 years or older with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are not on any treatment for IPF are on stable treatment for at least 3 months before starting the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1819479 helps people with IPF. 3 different doses of BI 1819479 are tested in this study. Participants are put into 4 groups by chance. Participants in 3 groups get different doses of BI 1819479. Participants in 1 group get placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 1819479 tablets, but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the treatment for 6 months to 1 year. Participants are in the study for up to 1 year and 2 months. During this time, they visit the study site between 10 and 12 times and get up to 11 phone calls from the site staff. At site visits doctors regularly perform breathing tests that measure how well the lungs are working. Researchers compare the results between participants who take BI 1819479 and placebo. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. Read Less
