This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational, efficacy and safety study of subjects with PPF (Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis) treated with inhaled treprostinil over a 52-week period. This study is investigating whether a drug called inhaled treprostinil (brand name Tyvaso®) works to help people with PPF improve their lung function tests. The purpose of this research study is to see how well inhaled treprostinil works in participants with PPF and to gather information on how safe it is. This study will look at changes in your breathing tests, also called lung function tests. About 698 people will participate in this study from about 150 medical centers. Your participation in this study is voluntary and will last approximately 58 weeks. This time includes a Screening Period that could last up to approximately 6 weeks plus a 52-week Treatment Period.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study that will randomize participants with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis to study drug BMS-986278 60mg, 120mg, or Placebo, administered orally, twice a day. Participants are allowed to continue background therapy, such as antifibrotic and immunosuppressant therapies. This study will consist of two parts (Cohort 1 and 2). Cohort 1 will enroll approximately 60 participants with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BMS-986278 in which participants will be randomized to receive 60 mg, 120mg, or placebo and this will last approximately 52 weeks. Cohort 2 is a registrational, double-blinded study which will investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986278 compared with placebo. Based on data from Cohort 1, the study will design 2 or 3 treatment arms for Cohort 2.

This study is designed to learn about the safety and effectiveness of a new gene therapy called KB408 for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). AATD is an inherited condition in which a person has low blood levels of a protein known as alpha-1 protease inhibitor (called Alpha1-PI). AATD causes an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the form of emphysema (long term lung disease) and, less frequently, other diseases.
KB408 delivers copies of the genes that produce AAT to the lungs and is given by inhaling a mist (called nebulization). The genes are carried and delivered by a modified herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This virus is not harmful and simply acts as a vehicle to deliver the genes to the lungs. The genes that are delivered by KB408 do not change a person's own DNA. This is an open-label study, meaning that the participants, the study doctor, and the sponsor all know that the participants are receiving KB408. KB408 is an investigational product, meaning it is not approved for commercial use by the FDA.
Eligible participants will receive one of three doses of KB408. Participants will have a screening visit first to make sure that they are able to participate in the study. After the screening visit, participants will need to return to the study center for follow up visits. The number of follow up visits depends on which cohort the subject is enrolled in. At the second visit, participants will receive the study drug. In Cohort 2b, subjects will have repeat dosing. Each visit will take between 2 and 8 hours to complete. Study procedures include medical history collection, vitals, physical exam, ECG, spirometry and DLCO, urine cotinine test, blood work, cheek swab, sputum sample, and bronchoscopy.
Possible side effects of KB408 include temporary increases in certain cell types in the lungs and temporary increases in the breathing rate after dosing. Since this is the first time that KB408 has been given to humans, it is possible that participants may have an immune reaction to the study drug. There is also a risk with genetic testing and a risk to confidentiality. Participants may not receive any personal benefit from being in this study. There is no guarantee that the Study Drug will help. The information that is collected from the study may help other people in the future.

The Alpha-1 Foundation Therapeutic Development Network (TDN) aims to make it easier to design and carry out clinical trials that enhance the treatment of patients with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). To achieve this, the TDN will establish a network of clinical trial centers that have enough patients to gather a comprehensive database of clinical and genetic information. This data will be crucial in determining the criteria for including or excluding participants in the trials and in recruiting suitable subjects.

Specifically, this study will enroll participants by in person or remote consent who will allow collection of medical records to be entered into an Alpha-1 TDN database. Participants will then be invited to future clinical trials.

The purpose of this study is to identify whether investigational blood and tissue testing can detect cancer cells in the blood stream can tell if subjects are responding to their individual treatment plans.

Participation will last as long as the subject's individual treatment plan and will consist of collecting tissue biopsies (10 slides), which will be taken during the subject's standard of care procedure, as well as blood draws (between 1 and 2 tablespoons), which will be taken during each of the subject's standard of care clinic appointments throughout their care journey.

1) You will be asked to provide a blood sample; up to two tubes for a total of up to 10mL (less than 2 teaspoons).
2) Samples will be processed and tested on the MeMed BV device.
3) You will be asked about your medical history, medications, and current illness, as well as demographic information (i.e. date of birth) and a contact phone number.
4) If eligible, it will be decided by chance, using a computer, if you will be put into one of two arms: the MeMed BV arm or the control arm. You have an equal chance of being placed in each group. You cannot choose your study group.
a. The MeMed BV arm: your clinician will receive the BV result, this will include a recommendation regarding antibiotic treatment
b. The control arm: your clinician will not receive the MeMed BV results and will treat you according to standard of care.
5) You will be contacted by a member of the study team at 28 (+/- 3) days after the day of consent to complete a short questionnaire regarding your current illness

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of fazirsiran (investigational drug) compared with placebo (an inactive substance) in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency associated liver disease (AATD-LD). If eligible, subjects will be randomized (assigned to a group by chance) to receive either fazirsiran or placebo to be administered subcutaneously (an injection under the skin). Subjects will be treated on Day 1, at Week 4, and then every 12 weeks for 196 weeks. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after their last dose of study drug or placebo for a total study duration of approximately 230 weeks (including 10 weeks of the screening period which is the time needed to assess if a subject is eligible for the study).

The purpose of this study is to create a de-identified, public use,
repository of data of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
patients with by Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a rare genetic
condition that can cause COPD and emphysema.

A main focus of the study is to identify characteristics that can be changed such as smoking, vaping and diet, environmental exposures (e.g. pollution such as car exhaust, allergies such as pet dander) that affect lung function and risk of future lung disease. We also are looking for biomarkers (e.g. measurements of specific substances in nose, blood, and urine samples) and genetic markers that can provide us with information about lung health. The findings in this study are considered research and are not the same as "genetic testing."
