Brief Summary:

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, progressive life-threatening disease that is characterized by exertional dyspnea and persistent dry cough.

Cough in IPF is both a presenting and a complicating clinical feature, which affects approximately three quarters of IPF cases. It is often a debilitating symptom that adversely affects quality of life (QoL) and is usually refractory to medical therapy.

Inhaled RVT-1601 (formerly, PA101B), a new inhalation formulation of cromolyn sodium delivered via the eFlow® Closed System (CS) nebulizer, is being evaluated in this Phase 2b study for the treatment of persistent cough in patients with IPF.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in 24-hour average cough count [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Objective cough count monitoring performed using a digital recording device.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in cough severity [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Cough severity assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a single-item questionnaire using 100-point scale ranging from 0 (no cough) to 100 (extremely severe cough).

  2. Change in cough-specific QoL [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Cough-specific QoL assessed using Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), a 19-item questionnaire designed to measure impact of cough in three domains (physical, psychological and social), each domain ranging from 1 to 7 and LCQ total score ranging from 3 to 21, with the higher scores corresponding with better QoL.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in forced vital capacity (FVC) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    FVC measured as the total amount of air exhaled during pulmonary function test.

  2. Change in disease-specific QoL [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Disease-specific QoL assessed using King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD), a 15-item questionnaire designed to measure impact of interstitial lung disease in three domains (breathlessness and activities, psychological and chest symptoms), each domain and total score ranging from 0 to 100 with the higher scores corresponding with better QoL.

  3. Change in airway and lung volumes as measured by HRCT images [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    HRCT-based functional respiratory imaging (FRI) parameters measured at end-inspiration and end-expiration.

  4. Change in biomarkers [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Collagen degradation by-products measured in the blood.

  5. Change in respiratory-related QoL [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Respiratory-related QoL assessed using St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), a 50-item questionnaire designed to measure impact of respiratory symptoms on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being, with total score ranging from 0 to 100 and lower score denoting a better health status.

  6. Change in dyspnea score [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Dyspnea score assessed using University of California San Diego (UCSD) Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (SOBQ),a 24-item questionnaire designed to measure breathlessness on a scale from 0 (not at all breathless) to 5 (maximally breathless or too breathless to do the activity).
