Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of pirfenidone in reducing pulmonary fibrogenic and inflammatory activity in patients with Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF), quantified by cell biomarkers. 2. To evaluate the molecular changes that occur after administration of pirfenidone in pulmonary metabolic activity quatified by PET/TC and the link with inflamatory and fibrogenic biomarkers.;Secondary Objective: 1. To assess changes brought about by pirfenidone in the different cells biomarkers patterns and inflamatory activity resulted by PET/TC with 18-FDG 2. To assess radiological changes in TCAR that occur after administration of pirfenidone and the relation with biomarkers and with 18F FDG acquisition. 3. To assess wheter administration of pirfenidone generates changes on standard funtional respiratory explorations. 4. To assess clinical changes (if any) and safety of pirfenidone after administration to patients with PMF.;Primary end point(s): 1- Cell biomarkers in peripheral blood: - Pro/anti fibrotic and pro/anti inflammatory biomarkers: cytokines (IL-1a, IL-1ß, IL-1RA, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, IP-10, TGF-ß, TNF-a, IFN-?, MIP-1a, MIP-1ß, MCP-1, PDGF, bFGF, MMP1, -2, -7, -9, -10). Immunological biomarkers: CD45, CD45RO, CD45RA, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD27, CD56, CD126, CD25, INF-?, IL-4, FoxP3, CD196 y CD161;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline (day 0), month 3, month 6, month 9, month 12.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Cell populations in peripheral blood and the impact of treatment in these populations. • Number of adverse events (AE) and adverse reactions (AR), of serious adverse events (SAE) and serious and unexpected adverse reactions (SUSAR). • Respiratory symptoms (cough, expectoration and dyspnea) and quality of life related to health using the EQ-5D 5L test. • Respiratory function variables, including Vital Capacity Forced, Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second, Volume ratio Forced Expiratory in the first second / Forced Vital Capacity and Capacity for CO diffusion, obtained through standardized respiratory function tests. • Radiological categorization by chest radiology and by High Resolution Computed Tomography, following the International Classification of High-resolution Computed Tomography for Occupational and Environmental Respiratory Diseases (ICOERD) (ICOERD).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline (day 0), month 3, month 6, month 9, month 12.
