Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect on lung function of multiple intravenous doses of QAX576 in patients with IPF [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
  2. Change in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 52 weeks as compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Measure: FVC was measured using a spirometer according to American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society guidelines at screening and week 52 of the treatment period.

  3. Safety and tolerability of QAX576. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Measure safety and tolerability as assessed by reported AEs and effects on routine laboratory evaluations.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the effect of multiple intravenous doses of QAX576 on measures of clinical efficacy [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
  2. To determine the pharmacokinetics of of QAX576 by measuring concentrations of QAX576 in blood [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
  3. Time to clinical worsening: [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Measure: Time to clinical worsening defined as fall in FVC or Diffusing Capacity of the lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLco), lung transplant or lung disease (IPF)-related death

  4. Exacerbation of IPF [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Measure: Incidence of exacerbation of IPF during the study

  5. Progression of fibrosis [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Measure progression of fibrosis in the lungs as measured by Quantitative High Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT)

  6. Pharmacokinetics of QAX576 [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Measure concentrations of QAX576 and its metabolites in blood throughout the study

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 80 Years   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), based on an appropriate clinical definition of IPF as detailed in the ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Statement: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Evidence-based Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management Diagnosis must be confirmed by a diagnostic HRCT or surgical lung biopsy.
  • A 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance ≥50 meters at Screening (use of supplemental oxygen allowed).

Exclusion criteria

  • Smokers (use of tobacco products in the previous 3 months). Urine cotinine levels will be measured during screening for all subjects. Smokers will be defined as any subject who reports tobacco use or has a urine cotinine levels in the range defined as 'smokers' per the local lab.
  • Lung residual volume > 120% predicted at Screening.
