pentoxifylline and Pulmonary Fibrosis

pentoxifylline has been researched along with Pulmonary Fibrosis in 10 studies

Pulmonary Fibrosis: A process in which normal lung tissues are progressively replaced by FIBROBLASTS and COLLAGEN causing an irreversible loss of the ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream via PULMONARY ALVEOLI. Patients show progressive DYSPNEA finally resulting in death.

"Tranilast has been used in allergic diseases because of its inhibitory effect on mast cells; it also has an anti-fibrotic effect in several diseases."5.35Effects of tranilast and pentoxifylline in a mouse model of chronic asthma using house dust mite antigen. ( Ahn, JH; Kim, CH; Kim, JS; Kim, JW; Kim, SC; Kim, SJ; Kim, YH; Kim, YK; Kwon, SS; Lee, JM; Lee, SH; Lee, SY; Yoon, HK, 2009)
"Previous discovery that long-term administration of pentoxifylline (PTX) to mice chronically exposed to smoke led to the development of pulmonary fibrosis rather than emphysema initiated our curiosity on whether the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, a set of signaling proteins essential to organ development and lung morphogenesis in particular were activated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis."3.76Effects of pentoxifylline on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in mice chronically exposed to cigarette smoke.

Trial Outcomes

Subjective, Objective, Management, and Analytic (SOMA) Score

A primary outcome of interest is the composite Subjective, Objective, Management, and Analytic (SOMA) score at 18-month follow-up visit. Maximum score is 45, with a score of 0 being ideal and representing no treatment-related side effects at the study visit. (NCT00583700)
Timeframe: 18 month post-treatment

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Control Arm1.59
Intervention: Pentoxifylline & Vitamin E1.0

Tissue Compliance

"Tissue compliance meter measurements of the treated breast compared to the non-treated breast were obtained at 18 months post-radiation therapy. Tissue compliance simply means how soft and pliable the breast tissue is when force is applied to it.~One physician would hold the tissue compliance meter (TCM) against the participant's skin. A standard amount of force would be applied. A second physician would read the displacement scale for a specific set of areas on the breast. The range of the scale was 0 to 60 milimeters (mm). The physician's were blineded to the participant's intervention at the time of measurement.~The final value is the difference between the untreated and the treated breast [untreated - treated]. The range of these differences was -3.3 to 7.0 mm." (NCT00583700)
