azathioprine and Alveolitis, Fibrosing

azathioprine has been researched along with Alveolitis, Fibrosing in 112 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Trial Outcomes

Acute Exacerbations

"The following 3 criteria will define acute exacerbations in subjects with acute worsening of their respiratory conditions:~1. Clinical (all of the following required): A) Unexplained worsening of dyspnea or cough within 30 days, triggering unscheduled medical care (e.g., emergency room, clinic, study visit, hospitalization). B) No clinical suspicion or overt evidence of cardiac event, pulmonary embolism, or deep venous thrombosis to explain acute worsening of dyspnea. C) No pneumothorax." (NCT00650091)
Timeframe: Measured at Week 60

Interventionevents (Number)
N-Acetylcysteine3
Placebo3

Disease Progression

"The time-to-death or a 10% decline in FVC will be defined as the time-to-disease progression.~The 10% decline in FVC from enrollment must be confirmed on 2 consecutive visits no less than 6 weeks apart. For subjects with 2 consecutive visits with a 10% decline in FVC, the time-to-disease progression will be defined as the time interval between enrollment and the initial visit with a 10% FVC decline."

This is to examine if the intervention results in a lower level of 6-Methylmercaptopurine in the participants. If so, the participants are expected to have less symptom severity. Comparing baseline taken at visit one to visit two levels 10 weeks after intervention start. (NCT04304950)

Harvey Bradshaw Activity Index

Harvey Bradshaw Activity Index has 5 questions. The final score is totaled and will fall into the following categories, which are used to define the severity of the disease: >16 severe diseases, 8-16 moderate disease, 5-7 mild disease, <5 remission. Scores range from 0 ( lowest possible score) to 17. (NCT04304950)
Timeframe: 10 weeks post baseline visit.

Munich Chronotype Questionnaire ( MCTQ)

This questionnaire is used to collect primary sleep times, such as bed- and rise-times, including the time a person is fully awake, sleep latency and inertia, in addition to other time points. The MCTQ uses the midpoint of sleep between sleep onset and offset to assess chronotype. Chronotype is your body's natural time to be awake or asleep at certain times. Total scores can range from 16 to 86, with the lowest values representing extreme-late chronotype. For this study corrected midpoint of sleep (MSFc) was calculated. This information is combined to determine the mean time of day at which respondents were more likely to feel most alert. The numbers provided in the outcome measure data table represent time (hour and minute). The hour has been converted to military time and the minutes were converted to decimals. (NCT04304950)
