ELEVATE Trial Summary

ELEVATE is testing a new investigational drug, LYT-100, to see if it has improved safety (better tolerated) than one of the currently approved treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pirfenidone, and to demonstrate if it has improved efficacy (works better) than a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) who are new to treatment or have had less than 6 months of a specific drug. They must be able to follow the study's procedures and not use tobacco products, including vaping. People with other lung diseases, recent serious heart issues, hospitalization due to COVID-19 or IPF flare-ups, or certain infections can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing LYT-100 against pirfenidone (an existing medication for IPF) and placebo in a randomized, double-blind setup where neither participants nor researchers know who gets which treatment until after the results are collected.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While side effects aren't specified here, common ones from similar drugs include stomach discomfort, skin reactions from sun exposure, fatigue, headache and dizziness. The trial will monitor any adverse effects that arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many individuals are involved in this experiment?

"240 individuals that meet the pre-determined inclusion criteria are required for this clinical trial. Different sites, such as Central Florida Pulmonary Group in Altamonte Springs, North carolina and Southeastern Research Center in Winston-Salem, Tennessee are participating in this research."

Answered by AI

If a potential test subject is under 45, would they be automatically disqualified from the trial?

"This trial is looking for volunteers that are at least 40 years old and no older than 80."

Answered by AI

Are there any long-term side effects of taking Deupirfenidone?

"Since Deupirfenidone is only in Phase 2 clinical trials, there is not yet data supporting its efficacy. However, it has been given a safety score of 2 by our team at Power."

Answered by AI

In how many distinct places is this research being conducted?

"Currently, this trial is taking place in 7 locations. They are situated in Altamonte Springs, Winston-Salem and Franklin as well as 4 other sites. If you wish to enroll, try and choose the location that is closest to you so that travelling is not a significant burden."

Answered by AI

Could I possibly be one of the people who helps test this new medical treatment?

"The ideal candidate for this study should have usual interstitial pneumonia, be between 40 and 80 years old. There is a goal to recruit 240 patients in total."

Answered by AI

Why did patients apply to this trial?

Last month they found something on my lung and called it a 9mm lung nodule.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I’m currently on Cellcept but may need to move on to an anti fibrotic according to my pulmonologist. Just wanted more details on whether or not this trial would be good for me.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I have been just diagnosed with mild IPF. My first visit with Pulminologist is March 4. I believe since I have not started medications,my data would be initiatal treatment without other factors. I have a strong biochemistry and understand the significance of this for drug discovery.
PatientReceived no prior treatments

What questions have other patients asked about this trial?

Are all expenses, i.e. prescriptions, travel, incentives,etc, covered in the trial?
