Establish a interstitial lung disease (ILD) registry and biorepository to lead towards a further understanding of the disease.
The quantitative and qualitative analysis of RA lung involvement in the Hungarian population
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) results from a diverse group of health conditions and affects the lives of patients (including those who are post lung transplant), caregivers and family members. The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Community Registry will offer an online portal where participants can self-enroll and directly contribute information about their experience with PF to be compiled into a longitudinal data set for use by researchers.
We conduct this study to investigate the efficacy of triple therapy (high-dose glucocorticoids + cyclophosphamide + calcineurin inhibitor) compared with dual-therapy regimens (high-dose glucocorticoids + cyclophosphamide/calcineurin inhibitor) and whether it reduces the risk of poor pulmonary prognosis in patients with moderate to high risk anti-MDA5+ DM.
in this study, the investigators aim to describe the effects of highflow nasal canulae oxygen therapy (HFNC) on respiratory muscle function during exercise in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD) during an endurance test
This is a prospective exploratory biodistribution study in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this research study is to determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPI-46) accumulates in normal and fibrotic lung tissues of patients with interstitial lung disease. The study will include patients with interstitial lung disease who have or will initiate a new ILD medication OR will undergo tissue biopsy or surgery of the lung. The study will include 30 patients, the upper limit for PET imaging studies conducted under the Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC) purview. Participants will be injected with up to 7 mCi of 68-GaFAPi and will undergo one PET/CT scan and one High Resolution CT of the lungs. The study is sponsored by Ahmanson Translational Theranostic Division at UCLA.
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) constitute a group of entities characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis of the lung parenchyma. In recent years, with the advent of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic options, multidisciplinary evaluation is essential, since it optimizes the interpretation of each case and the quality of care for these pathologies Consensus for the identification and management of ILD associated with SSc (ILD-SSc) is the only guideline published at present. In the others autoimmune ILD (Ai-ILD), screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up strategies are usually performed according to the criteria of the treating medical team. Guidelines regarding the follow-up and indication of immunosuppressive and antifibrotic treatment are lacking. Many questions on the horizon of the Ai-ILD should be answered as better quality evidence emerges from studies with a greater number of patients and better methodological design.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous systemic autoimmune disease with distinct prognosis according to patients. In patients with systemic sclerosis, interstitial lung disease (ILD) concerns almost 50 % of patients and represents the main cause of mortality. Disease course in SSc-ILD is highly variable: patients can experience stable disease, slow or fast progression. Prevention of ILD progression now represents a key objective of SSc-ILD management. The understanding of the course and patterns of SSc-ILD progression is necessary, as reliable prediction tools that allow the stratification of the risk of progression. We aimed to identify the longitudinal trajectories of ILD in SSc patients using latent class mixed models and to examine their associations with SSc characteristics.
There is likely a role for using anti-fibrotic medications in patients with myositis-associated interstitial lung disease (MA-ILD) to slow down disease progression, especially in patients who have fibrotic and progressive disease. These patients however are currently being excluded from clinical trials of anti-fibrotic agents in progressive ILD because of the concomitant use of immunosuppression. The benefit of anti-fibrotic agents is being assessed in other rheumatic diseases and should be assessed in MA-ILD as well. They are a unique group of patients with a heterogeneous disease, and are much more frequently on concomitant immune-modulating therapy. As such, they should be studied on their own in separate clinical trials, and the use of nintedanib should be studied as an addition to standard of care immunosuppression. The objective of this study is to assess safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with MA-ILD.
