Active clinical trials for "Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis"

This is a non-interventional study based on new data collection to gather real-world information (i.e., data under routine medical practice) on safety and effectiveness of the Ofev® Capsules treatment. The study will consist of a baseline visit and follow-up visits at Week 4, 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104 for patients who have newly initiated Ofev® Capsules. The patients will be followed up until discontinuation of Ofev® Capsules treatment. As this is an observational study, no specific treatment is mandated or withheld from the patients. The choice of maintenance treatment for IPF must be according to regular medical practice and at the discretion of the physician (i.e., no randomised assignment of patient to treatment is performed). All patients administrated Ofev® Capsules after the launch at the sites contracted with the sponsor will be registered. The Case Report Forms (CRFs) of 1000 patients will be collected. However the patient registration continues until the approval condition has been removed. Patients participating in the subsequent follow-up will undergo regular observations. These observations should be reported after approximately Week 4, 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104 since the initiation of Ofev® Capsules as long as they continue to receive the treatment. Patients will not be followed any longer once they are reported to have discontinued the Ofev® Capsules treatment.

Patients with newly diagnosed IPF are investigated for the diagnostic delay before a diagnosis of IPF is made.

The purpose of the study is to identify genetic and biologic markers that may predict the loss of lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The studies will compare genetic and biologic markers of samples to changes in symptoms. The ultimate goal is to predict if or when patients are likely to experience a rapid decline in lung function due to disease progression.

The purposes of this study are: to determine if there are specific genetic traits that might explain why patients have developed pulmonary fibrosis; to determine if specific genetic traits account for differing patterns of inflammation and scar tissue that has formed in the patient's lungs.

Data and specimens will be collected longitudinally from patients seen in the UVA Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) clinic in order to describe the phenotypic expression of various interstitial lung diseases. Samples will also be collected from a control group for comparison purposes. All data will be entered into a repository for future research purposes or screening for new studies that become available. This data will help identify trends and hopefully lead to a better understanding of the disease progression, treatment options, and outcomes.

Respiratory muscle strength, dyspnea perception, physical activity and quality of life measurements will be performed and groups will be compared in two groups consisting of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis referred to pulmonary rehabilitation clinic and healthy volunteers in similar age range.

This is the registry of control participants for patients with various respiratory diseases. We screened healthy volunteers who visited Seoul National Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center for routine health check-up, and enrolled patients who agree to participate in the study. The participants undergo baseline questionnaires, provide blood specimen and information of the results of health check-up. We will include participants as controls if they have no significant respiratory symptom and no significant radiographic abnormality. The data from this registry will be compared with those from other registry of various respiratory diseases

This study seeks to screen first degree family members of people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) for the earliest signs of lung fibrosis.

Establish a interstitial lung disease (ILD) registry and biorepository to lead towards a further understanding of the disease.

This registry will collect data on the strategies used to achieve a diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Chronic Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease with Progressive Phenotype (ILD) and the treatment and management efforts applied throughout study follow-up, clinical outcome events and patient reported outcome data. Blood samples will be collected periodically throughout the study for use in future research efforts. For participants with non-IPF, chronic fibrosing ILD with progressive phenotype, HRCT images will be collected throughout the study for use in future research efforts.
