Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Interstitial"

This is an Expanded Access Program (EAP) for eligible participants with Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) designed to provide access to Inhaled Treprostinil. Availability will depend on territory elegibility.

This Expanded Access Program (EAP) is intended to facilitate the availability of OFEV® (nintedanib) to children and adolescents with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) on top of current standard of care treatment and for whom no satisfactory authorized alternative therapy exists and who cannot participate in the ongoing 1199-0378 trial.

This Expanded Access Program is intended to facilitate the availability of OFEV to patients suffering from non Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis-Interstitial Lung Disease (non IPF-ILD) with a progressive clinical course despite Standard of Care treatment and for whom no satisfactory authorised alternative therapy exists or who cannot enter a clinical trial.

Current diagnostic tools used in pulmonary disease often do not meet the challenges set by the respective pathophysiology. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with various pulmonary diseases.

This project aims to use artificial intelligence (image discrimination) algorithms, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for scanning chest radiographs in the emergency department (triage) in patients with suspected respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, myalgia) of coronavirus infection COVID 19. The objective is to create and validate a software solution that discriminates on the basis of the chest x-ray between Covid-19 pneumonitis and influenza

In this project, the clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases was carried out for the population with suspected interstitial lung diseases selected from the community cohort, and the confirmed patients were included into the existing clinical cohort of interstitial lung diseases, forming an interstitial lung diseases special disease cohort consisting of 3,000 patients and corresponding matched control groups. According to characteristics of interstitial lung disease and the needs of National Key R&D Program of China, this study will formulate unified clinical follow-up strategy to do long-term standardized clinical follow-up in patients with interstitial lung disease. The detailed information for clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as biological samples were collected to identify disease phenotype and build the database and biological sample library for interstitial lung disease cohort study. This study aims to provide evidence for molecular classification, screening and validation of biomarkers as well as precise diagnosis and prevention in patients with interstitial lung disease.

The investigating group aims at performing an observational, prospective study that involves the evaluation of circulating biomarkers predictive of clinical evolution in patients suffering from COVID-19 disease. In particular, the aim will be to verify whether there are transcripts or cytokines / chemokines in peripheral blood, modulated differently in patients with COVID-19, distinguished on the basis of the evolution towards more severe clinical pictures that require patient intubation or that show signs of cardiovascular damage. The study will be based on the transcriptional analysis of the entire genome and serum protein to evaluate the expression of a broad spectrum of cytokines and chemokines. Genome analysis will allow the genotype to be correlated to the identified gene expression profiles.

To evaluate the health status of patients with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), and how this varies between subgroups of ILD. To investigate the prevalence of symptoms, anxiety, depression, and sleep-disordered breathing within ILD patient population. To assess the economic impact of ILD. To understand how self-aware ILD patients are regarding their treatment/management. To compare the demographic details, including smoking status and occupational history, of patients with interstitial lung disease

There is a rare condition causing scarring of the lungs termed interstitial lung disease. This comprises a group of conditions which can be divided into separate diseases. The aim of this study is compare a group of patients (the cases) with 2 types of this disease (fibrotic non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)) with patients without the disease. The study will look at the 2 groups and their exposures to factors such as medications, smoking, previous jobs, previous medical problems and specifically heart disease and any operations or procedures involving the heart. There have been previous studies showing a link between heart disease and scarring of the lungs. This study will look at whether this association is stronger in one or the other type of lung scarring diseases.

This prospective cohort study will investigate whether progression of the interstitial lung diseases is related to specific clinical endpoints and their changes over time. Longitudinal data of patients will be compared to an age-matched control group during a follow-up of at least two years.
