Fibrosis clinical trials at UC Davis

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation and verification study to assess the safety and efficacy of pulsed inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in subjects at risk for pulmonary hypertension associated with pulmonary fibrosis on long term oxygen therapy (Part 1 and Part 2) - REBUILD

A Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled, study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of PLN-74809 in participants with primary sclerosing cholangitis and suspected liver fibrosis

This phase III study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of recombinant human pentraxin-2 (rhPTX-2; PRM-151) zinpentraxin alfa, compared with placebo in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

The study includes 52 weeks, double-blind treatment period. Clinic visits will occur at Randomization and every four weeks from Week 4 through Week 52 and through End of Study period. The study includes a post-dosing study visit that will occur 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug. This visit represents the End-of-Study Visit (Week 56 Visit). Three hundred thirty-seven subjects will be enrolled into five treatment arms and there will be an equal distribution of males and females in each treatment arm. Subjects will be stratified by gender, fibrosis stage, and diabetes status.

The goal of this study is to evaluate non-invasive imaging techniques for determining liver steatosis (fat), inflammation (abnormal tissue swelling), and fibrosis (abnormal tissue scarring).In addition, the study group will be using other test measures including personal demographics, laboratory blood test results, and imaging measurements to determine the severity of NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis), inflammation, and fibrosis.
