Clinical Study of ART-123 for the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

January 17, 2019 updated by: Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation

Phase III Clinical Study of ART-123 for the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: a Multicenter Randomized Placebo-controlled Double-blind Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ART-123

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the intravenous drip infusion of ART-123 in patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group comparison study, and to confirm its superiority over placebo with survival rate on Day 90 as the primary endpoint.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 85 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
