Pulmonary Fibrosis Biomarker Cohort - a Prospective Cohort of Incident

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Incident patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in Denmark will be offered inclusion and followed up for up to 5 years with measurements of blood biomarkers and measurements of disease progression.

Clinical Trial Description

IPF pathogenesis is complex, including epithelial injury, resident fibroblast-myofibroblast transformation, recruitment of fibrocytes, macrophage activation, and release of numerous cytokines and chemokines. Several of these processes release potential biomarker proteins into the blood stream or onto the epithelial surface where they can be measured. Biomarkers have mainly two potential roles in IPF. Firstly, a diagnostic biomarker would distinguish IPF from other diseases with similar symptoms, facilitating diagnosis and possibly decreasing the need for risky procedures, such as surgical lung biopsy. Secondly, a prognostic biomarker would distinguish rapid progressors from slow progressors, which is difficult today. This study will prospectively include patients at the two largest centres in Denmark where patients are treated for IPF and has thus a good opportunity to include the majority of incident cases of IPF in Denmark. The blood levels of several promising biomarkers will be measured at baseline and during up to 5 years follow-up. Patients will also be followed up through regular clinical examination and by querying national registries to determine disease progression, mortality, healthcare utilization and selected co-morbidities. The database will be used for determination of risk factors for the outcomes listed above. Sub-group analyses are planned in respect to sex, treatment, radiologic imaging, smoking status, clinical data such as pulmonary function tests, co-morbidities (both pulmonary disease and extra-pulmonary disease), and disease severity at baseline. A research biobank with blood samples is established from the study population. This biobank, and the database of newly diagnosed IPF patients, will be used for future research in IPF. The prospectively created database will also be used for future research in IPF. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
