Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immunologically mediated form of lung disease resulting from inhalational exposure to any of a large variety of antigens. A subgroup of patients with HP develops pulmonary fibrosis (fibrotic HP; FHP), a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the antifibrotic pirfenidone in treating FHP. This single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is enrolling adults with FHP (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02958917). Study participants must have fibrotic abnormalities involving ≥5% of the lung parenchyma on high-resolution computed tomography scan, forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥40% and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide ≥30% of predicted values. Study participants will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive pirfenidone 2403 mg·day or placebo. The primary efficacy end-point is the mean change in FVC % predicted from baseline to week 52. A number of secondary end-points have been chosen to evaluate the safety and efficacy in different domains.
过敏性肺炎(HP)是一种由吸入多种抗原中的任何一种所引发的免疫介导性肺部疾病。一部分HP患者会发展为肺纤维化(纤维化HP;FHP),这是发病和死亡的一个重要原因。本研究将评估抗纤维化药物吡非尼酮治疗FHP的安全性和有效性。这项单中心、随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验正在招募患有FHP的成年人(ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT02958917)。研究参与者在高分辨率计算机断层扫描上必须有累及≥5%肺实质的纤维化异常,用力肺活量(FVC)≥40%,肺一氧化碳弥散量≥预测值的30%。研究参与者将按2:1的比例随机分组,分别接受2403毫克·天的吡非尼酮或安慰剂。主要疗效终点是从基线到第52周预测FVC%的平均变化。已选择了一些次要终点来评估不同领域的安全性和有效性。
