Filter by:Prospective, observational, multicenter study that will evaluate the changes in lung function that patients admitted with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia will present according to the level of severity at 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks after hospital discharge.
In this study, MRI of the lungs of healthy volunteers and participants with cystic fibrosis (stable and participants initiating CFTR modulator treatment) will be performed over a period of 6 months to determine if lung MRI is able detect structural and functional abnormalities/changes in early cystic fibrosis disease. During the 6 month period, 3 study visits will occur. 70 subjects aged 6 and older will participate in this study. Xenon MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that does not involve x-rays or ionizing radiation. Rather, this imaging method utilizes the same hardware and software principles that are used for conventional proton MRI of patients in a hospital.
The purpose of the study is to see if imaging with fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F] FDG) and fluorine-18 Displacement Per Atom ([18F]DPA-714) using positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) will show lung inflammation and fibrosis in patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study may help physicians and researchers better understand how best to treat patients with IPF in the future.
Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) are key events that lead to a decline in health status among CF patients, with many never recovering to baseline health. With the advancement of new CFTR modulators and other therapies increasing the lifespan of those living with CF, it will become increasingly important to have better strategies to manage PEx in order to have better outcomes following treatment. PEx treatment decisions will need to take into consideration the increasing frequency of antimicrobial resistance bacteria and the need to treat multiple types of bacteria at once. The purpose of this study is to analyze sputum samples from CF subjects at the time of PEx in order to identify markers of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and see how those relate to treatment responses. CF patients will be recruited from patients followed by the Adult CF Program at National Jewish Health. Within 48 hours of admission to the hospital for treatment of a PEx, subjects will be enrolled and sputum will be collected. The sputum will be processed and analyzed for the presence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. These results will be compared to clinical data, such as spirometry and frequency of hospitalizations.
The I-FILE study is a prospective multicenter, multinational observational study where the feasibility of a patient-led registry using home monitoring in patients with pulmonary fibrosis will be evaluated. The aim of the study is to gain more insights in disease behavior in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, so in future patients with progressive disease can be better identified.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease with a poor prognosis. More accurate tests to predict disease progression and response to treatment are required. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) is a blood marker associated with IPF. Results from previous studies have shown that levels of KL-6 are higher in patients with IPF compared to people without the disease. In addition, it is not clear what impact treatment has on KL-6 levels, and whether this could help us to monitor how effective treatment for IPF is. The investigators plan to perform a study in which KL-6 levels in the blood of patients with a new diagnosis of IPF are measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months to look for and changes in the levels of KL-6 in the blood.
TARGET-RWE is a 10-year, international, longitudinal, observational study of patients with chronic disease designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. The protocol will follow a master protocol design in which a shared study infrastructure supports progressive development of the registry across the spectrum of chronic diseases.
Purpose: To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of autologous Lung Spheroid Stem Cells (LSCs) administered by intravenous infusion in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Progressive Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease. Participants: Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Progressive Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease Procedures (methods): 24 patients previously diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or Progressive Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be evaluated at baseline. LSCs will be grown from autologous trans-bronchial pulmonary biopsy specimens. The first group, consisting of 6 patients will be randomized after completion of the screening procedures to either a treatment group of 100 million LSCs administered via intravenous infusion or to a control group (standard care) in a 2:1 LSC to control group ratio. The second group of 18 patients will be randomized after completion of the screening procedures to either a treatment group of 200 million LSCs administered via intravenous infusion or to a control group (standard care) in a 2:1 LSC to control group ratio. Patients will be randomized using permuted blocks in a 2:1 LSC to control group ratio, providing a distribution of 8:4:12 patients among the control, low dose, and high dose groups, respectively. If the patient is randomized and 100 million LSCs are not achieved, then the patient will be analyzed separately and another patient enrolled. Intravenous infusion of LSCs will take place 4-8 weeks after the pulmonary biopsies are obtained. All patients will be followed up at months 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 after infusion to complete the safety and efficacy assessments listed herein. All patients will receive standard of care for their IPF.
The aim of this prospective observational trial is to evaluate the influence of Coping strategies on pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes like 6-minute walk distance and Quality of life.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jin-shui Huan-xian granule for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), establish the treatment scheme, and obtain the high quality clinical evidences.
