A Phase 2b Study of Inhaled RVT-1601 for the Treatment of Persistent Cough in IPF
- Conditions
- Persistent Cough in IPFChronic CoughIPF
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT03864328
- Lead Sponsor
- Respivant Sciences GmbH
- Brief Summary
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, progressive life-threatening disease that is characterized by exertional dyspnea and persistent dry cough.
Cough in IPF is both a presenting and a complicating clinical feature, which affects approximately three quarters of IPF cases. It is often a debilitating symptom that adversely affects quality of life (QoL) and is usually refractory to medical therapy.
Inhaled RVT-1601 (formerly, PA101B), a new inhalation formulation of cromolyn sodium delivered via the eFlow® Closed System (CS) nebulizer, is being evaluated in this Phase 2b study for the treatment of persistent cough in patients with IPF.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in 24-hour average cough count 12 weeks Objective cough count monitoring performed using a digital recording device.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in cough severity 12 weeks Cough severity assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a single-item questionnaire using 100-point scale ranging from 0 (no cough) to 100 (extremely severe cough).
Change in cough-specific QoL 12 weeks Cough-specific QoL assessed using Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), a 19-item questionnaire designed to measure impact of cough in three domains (physical, psychological and social), each domain ranging from 1 to 7 and LCQ total score ranging from 3 to 21, with the higher scores corresponding with better QoL.
