Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of N115 on Coughing in IPF Patients (NCT NCT06037408)

NCT ID: NCT06037408

Last Updated: 2024-08-07

Results Overview

Percent change in coughing was calculated by subtracting the baseline coughs per day from the day 21 coughs per day and then dividing by the baseline coughs per day. The a priori threshold was set at a 25% or greater decrease. (An episode is defined as 5 or more coughs per hour.)

Measure
20mM Sodium Pyruvate Nasal Spray Treatment
20mM sodium pyruvate nasal spray: The product is a 20 mM (0.2%, 2.2 mg/mL) sodium pyruvate nasal spray in 0.9% sodium chloride with benzalkonium chloride preservative, pH 7.2 (N115). Subjects will self-administer 3 squirts per nostril of the nasal spray, 3 times daily; upon wakening, noon/midday, and before bedtime.
Saline Placebo Control
Saline Placebo control nasal spray: The placebo is 0.9% sodium chloride with benzalkonium chloride preservative, pH 7.2. Subjects will self-administer 3 squirts per nostril of the nasal spray, 3 times daily; upon wakening, noon/midday, and before bedtime.

Percent Change in Coughing Episodes Per Day From Baseline to Day 21.
-73.2 % change in coughing episodes
Standard Deviation 8.1
-16.1 % change in coughing episodes
Standard Deviation 11.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 21 days

The FEV1/FVC ratio was determined for baseline and day 21. The percent change was then calculated subtracting the baseline FEV1/FVC ratio from the day 21 FEV1/FVC ratio and then dividing by the baseline FEV1/FVC ratio. The a priori change was set at 12% or more.
