Clinical Trials Registry

Our Clinical Trials Registry is a free service to connect physicians to clinical trials in respiratory disease conducted by participating pharmaceutical companies. Clinical trials power medical progress, allowing researchers to test new ways to prevent, detect, and treat respiratory disease. Without clinical trials, treatment advancements would be significantly hampered.

Ongoing groundbreaking research could have a measurable impact on patient care, but a lack of clinical trial participants is significantly slowing research and threatening the development of new treatments. Recruiting and retaining trial participants are the greatest challenges to developing the next generation of treatment options.

Participation in clinical trials provides an opportunity to advance and accelerate medical research and contribute to an improved health outlook for future generations. Use our registry to get information on how you can be involved in a clinical trial.

SENSCISTM A double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluating efficacy and safety of oral nintedanib treatment for at least 52 weeks in patients with ‘Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease’ (SSc-ILD). Company: Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc Clinical trial description:  SENSCISTM  (Safety and Efficacy of Nintedanib in Systemic SClerosIS) describes a clinical research study for adults with Scleroderma (SSc) with interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) to evaluate an investigational drug, Nintedanib.  Nintedanib is an oral drug that has been approved in the United States and Europe to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is a disease similar to SSc-ILD. However, Nintedanib has not been approved to treat SSc-ILD and is considered an investigational drug for the purpose of this study. Individuals will take the capsule twice a day for at least 52 weeks and up to a maximum of 100 weeks. The capsules are Nindanib or a placebo (inactive drug). Total participation in the study will last between 56 and 104 weeks (1 to 2 years). If the individual completes all visits in the study, they may have the opportunity to participate in an extension study in which all participants will receive Nintedanib.   In the US, the study will enroll approximately 82 participants with SSc-ILD at approximately 47 study centers.  Internationally, the study will enroll 530 participants at approximately 180 study centers in 20 countries (including the US). Type of participant needed: Be 18 years of age or older Have developed Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) within the past 5 years Be diagnosed with SSc-ILD Have had no previous treatment with nintedanib or pirfenidone Have no history of stroke within 12 months. There are other inclusion and exclusion criteria but the above are the major factors Posted: May 10, 2016 Learn how to participate

A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Trial to Assess the Oral Corticosteroid-Sparing Effect of Lebrikizumab in Patients With Severe Corticosteroid-Dependent Asthma Company: GENENTECH Clinical trial description: VOCALS is a Phase II study evaluating the efficacy of lebrikizumab as measured by the ability to achieve lower daily doses of oral corticosteroids in patients with severe corticosteroid-dependent asthma. Type of patient needed: Adult patients with severe asthma despite intensive follow-up by an asthma specialist and on chronic treatment with maintenance oral corticosteroids for at least 6 months may be considered for this trial.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Lebrikizumab in Adolescent Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma Who Are on Inhaled Corticosteroids and a Second Controller Medication Company: GENENTECH, INC./ROCHE Clinical trial description: ACOUSTICS is a Phase III study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lebrikizumab in adolescent patients with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite guideline-based asthma therapy. Type of patient needed: Adolescent (12-17 years) patients with asthma who continue to have symptoms after receiving treatment with an inhaled corticosteroid and a second controller medication for at least 6 months may be considered for this clinical trial.
