"The INSPIRE trial offers patients an opportunity to be part of an
important study which will determine if interferon gamma improves
survival," said Rosen, who runs a laboratory that examines the
cellular pathways that become overactive in this disease. Jacobs said
interferon gamma might offer some kind of immune protective effect.

"The trial also offers an opportunity to learn more about the
natural history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and enhance our
understanding of the disease," he said. The
alveoli become inflamed and fibrous scar tissue forms in the
surrounding regions.

Anti-inflammatory medications can
sometimes help, but less than 10 to 15 percent of patients respond to
the treatment enough to halt the scarring process, according to Jacobs
and Rosen.
Participants will be taught to administer the injection to

three months, then return once every three months for the duration of

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF, develops from damage to the
alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs that exchange oxygen from
inhaled air for carbon dioxide in the blood.
Whatever the cause, pulmonary fibrosis begins with an
over-reactive healing response to something irritating the lungs.
In the quest for a treatment for IPF, speculation that it may be
an autoimmune disease led to the idea that interferon gamma might
help, as it has been used with some success in other autoimmune
diseases such as multiple sclerosis .00 paperback

The trial is sponsored by

classes of interferons: alpha, beta and gamma , and each of these
classes has different, although sometimes overlapping, effects.
A previous clinical trial testing interferon gamma in the
treatment of IPF found that while there was not an improvement in
breathing ability as the disease progressed, there was a trend toward
better survival in the group receiving the treatment.

Aristotle's theories were widely adopted and refined by rhetoricians of the Roman Empire, and later by Christian scholars.

protein that is being used in the tests. The scarring process makes breathing difficult
and reduces oxygen transfer to the blood. The
only definitive treatment for the disease is a lung transplant, but
suitable donor lungs are rare and long-term survival is less than 50
percent. Interferon gamma is a member of
naturally occurring proteins produced by the immune system to help the
body launch an attack against foreign invaders.
