About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Zileuton Compared to Azathioprine/Prednisone for the Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Open label trial of zileuton compared to azathioprine/prednisone for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Study subjects will undergo a detailed clinical, radiographic, and physiologic assessment at baseline. Subjects will be monitored off treatment for three months for changes in symptoms and physiology. Subjects will then be randomized to six months of treatment with zileuton or azathioprine/prednisone. The primary endpoint of this trial is change in LTB4 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid following six months of treatment. Secondary endpoints are progression free survival, change in dyspnea, change in quality of life, and change in physiology.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing zileuton and azathioprine/prednisone in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 18 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 3 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 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.

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?

LTB4 level in BAL (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Dec 2015.
