About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Study of the Efficacy (Gleevec Imatinib Mesylate) in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) in the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). One-hundred- twenty patients will be enrolled in the trial in total. Subjects must have a diagnosis made by HRCT showing definite or probable IPF and clinical symptoms consistent with IPF with onset between 3 and 36 months prior to screening. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either Gleevec 600 mg orally or placebo, once per day for approximately 2 years. The primary efficacy will be progression defined as a greater than 10% decline in the forced vital capacity or death. Measures of safety will include all randomized patients who receive at least one dose of study medication. All adverse events and serious adverse events will be separately tabulated and mapped to a standard classification system and grouped by body system. Any serious adverse events that occur during the trial and 30 days after the end of therapy will be reported to the FDA within 24 hours and followed to outcome.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression defined as a greater than 10% decline in the forced vital capacity (FVC) or death

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change from baseline in % predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at 96 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in the resting arterial blood gas (ABG) assessment of A-a gradient at 96 weeks

  3. Change in the number of meters walked in the 6 minute walk test at 96 weeks

  4. Change from baseline in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) at 96 weeks

  5. Change from baseline in the quality of life (QOL) assessments

  6. Change in the modified C-reactive protein (CRP) score at 96 weeks

  7. Mortality at 96 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Lung Disease, run by Daniels, Craig E., M.D..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression defined as a greater than 10% decline in the forced vital capacity (FVC) or death. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00131274, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2005.
