About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial for Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Pirfenidone in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pirfenidone as anti-fibrosis drug developed in recent years demonstrated the potential anti- fibrotic effect, but so far there were no domestic studies about pirfenidone's efficacy and safety evaluation in china. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) through the observation of a large sample of clinical cases.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) through the observation of a large sample of clinical cases. During the observation, study visits will occur at the end of 12w, 24w, 36w, 48w.all participants will be required to check the various efficacy and safety indicators.

Being tested
Pirfenidone, placebo
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in forced vital capacity (FVC)

    to evaluate changes in FVC from baseline to 12 weeks /24 weeks/36 weeks/48 weeks

    Measured: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. changes in lung function (including Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and The differences of diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) )

    Lung function will be measured as improved/stabilized/exacerbated from baseline to 12 weeks/24 weeks/36 weeks/48 weeks

    Measured: 48week

  2. Changes in 6 minute walk distance (6MWD)

    Changes in 6 minute walk distance (6MWD) and from baseline to 12/24/36/48weeks

    Measured: 48 weeks

  3. Life quality: assessed by St. George respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ).

    Life quality will be assessed as improved if SGRQ single or total score increased >4% when completing the trial; Life quality will be assessed as stabilized if SGRQ single or total score changes within the range of 4% when completing the trial; Life quality will be assessed as exacerbated if SGRQ single or total score decreased >4% when completing the trial.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  4. Dyspnea score according by Modified Medical Research Center(MMRC)

    to measure rating dyspnea according by Medi Medical Research Center(MMRC)

    Measured: 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pirfenidone in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China.

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 11 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 13 May 2014. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Changes in forced vital capacity (FVC) (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 13 May 2014.
