CleanUP IPF for the Pulmonary Trials Cooperative

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Registration Number
NCT02759120
Lead Sponsor
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of standard care, versus standard of care plus antimicrobial therapy (co-trimoxazole or doxycycline), on clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, un-blinded, phase III, multi-center clinical trial of an antimicrobial therapy strategy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients. Our overall hypothesis is that reducing harmful microbial impact with antimicrobial therapy will reduce the risk of non-elective, respiratory hospitalization or death in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to either receive a prescription drug voucher for oral antimicrobial therapy in the form of one double strength 160 milligrams (mg) trimethoprim/800mg sulfamethoxazole (double strength co-trimoxazole) twice daily plus folic acid 5 mg daily OR doxycycline 100mg once daily if weight \< 50 kilograms (kg) or 100mg twice daily if weight \> 50 kg. Patients randomized to receive antimicrobial therapy will be given co-trimoxazole unless they have an allergy, contraindication to co-trimoxazole, renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 30 milliliters (ml)), are hyperkalemic (potassium \> 5 milliequivalents(mEq)/liter(L)), or are concomitantly taking an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), or potassium sparing diuretic in which case they will receive doxycycline.

Participation in this study will be between 12 months and 36 months depending on time of enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Received antimicrobial therapy in the past 30 days

  2. Contraindicated for antibiotic therapy, including but not exclusive to:

    1. Allergy or intolerance to both tetracyclines AND trimethoprim, sulfonamides or their combination

    2. Allergy or intolerance to tetracyclines AND known potassium level > 5 mEq/L in the past 90 days.

      • If the enrolling physician feels the potassium level has normalized, documentation to that effect must be provided.
    3. Allergy or intolerance to tetracyclines AND concomitant use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), potassium sparing diuretic, dofetilide, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide

    4. Allergy or intolerance to tetracyclines AND known glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

    5. Allergy or intolerance to tetracyclines AND untreated folate or B12 deficiency

    6. Allergy or intolerance to tetracyclines AND known renal insufficiency (defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 30 ml within the previous 90 days)

      • If the enrolling physician feels the renal dysfunction has resolved, documentation to that effect must be provided.
  3. Pregnant or anticipate becoming pregnant

  4. Use of an investigational study agent for IPF therapy within the past 30 days, or an IV infusion with a half-life of four (4) weeks.

  5. Concomitant immunosuppression with azathioprine, mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, or cyclosporine.

Change in UCSD-Shortness of Breath QuestionnaireRandomization to 12 months

Change in University of California San Diego (UCSD) Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (0 - 120 range). A lower score indicates a better health score. The UCSD-Shortness of Breath Questionnaire assesses the severity of shortness of breath during specific activities of daily living.

Change in Fatigue Severity Scale ScoreRandomization to 12 months

Fatigue Severity Scale score (1 - 7 range). A lower score indicates a better health score. The Fatigue Severity Scale measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle.

Change in Leicester Cough Questionnaire ScoreRandomization to 12 months

Leicester Cough Questionnaire score (3 - 21 range). A higher score indicates a better health score. The Leicester Cough Questionnaire measures quality of life in people with a chronic cough.

Change in EuroQol Index (EQ-5D) ScoreRandomization to 12 months

European Quality of Life-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) score (0 - 1 range). A higher score indicates a better health score. The EQ-5D measures quality of life across 5 dimensions (1. Mobility, 2. Self-care, 3. Usual activities, 4. Pain/discomfort, 5. Anxiety/depression.

Change in ICEpop CAPability Measure for Older People (ICECAP-O) ScoreRandomization to 12 months

Change in ICEpop (Investigating Choice Experiments for the Preferences of Older People) CAPability measure for Older people (ICECAP-O) score (0 - 1 range). A lower score indicates a better health score. The ICEpop CAPability measure for Older people (ICECAP-O) is intended for use in economic evaluations of care services for older people.

Change in Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12) 6D ScoreRandomization to 12 months

Change in Short Form-12 health survey (SF-12) 6D score (0.29 - 1.00 range). A higher indicates a better health score. The SF-12 6D score provides and economic evaluation.

Change in Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12) Physical ScoreRandomization to 12 months

Change in short form-12 health survey (SF-12) physical component summary (PSC) score (0 - 100 range). A higher score indicates a better health score.

The short form-12 health survey physical score assesses limitations in physical activities because of health problems.

Change in SF-12 Health Survey (SF-12) Mental ScoreRandomization to 12 months

Change in short form-12 health survey (SF-12) mental component summary (MCS) score (0 - 100 range). A higher score indicates a better health score.

The short form-12 health survey (SF-12) mental component summary (MCS) assesses general mental health.
