Emphysema clinical trials at UCSD
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Doxycycline for Emphysema in People Living With HIV (The DEPTH Trial)
open to eligible people ages 30 years and up
The purpose of this study is to determine if doxycycline will reduce progression of emphysema in people living with HIV. The secondary objectives are to examine the effects of doxycycline on change in quantity of emphysema, six minute walk distance, patient reported outcomes, ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity. Secondary objectives will also describe the safety and tolerability of doxycycline and determine if doxycycline is associated with development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
