1. Impact of telemonitoring on quality of life (QoL) of patients with CTD-ILD 2. Evaluation of health status of patients with connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) using telemonitoring and standard care. 3. Assessment of treatment response patterns (full remission, partial remission, progression, no response) and evaluation of clinical prognostic factors (risk factors for poor response in patients with CTD-ILD. 4. Evaluation of cost-effectiveness of telemonitoring solutions in patients with CTD-ILD. 5. Evaluation of telemedicine as a tool for assessing the safety of therapy
COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, currently poses a global economic, social, political and medical challenge. The virus originated in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has spread rapidly around the world. Currently, European countries, including Austria, are severely affected.The most common computed tomographic changes in acute lung injury include bilateral and subpleural milk glass opacity, consolidation in lower lobes, or both. In the intermediate phase of the infection (4-14 days after the onset of symptoms) a so-called "crazy paving" may occur. The most prominent radiological changes occur around day 10, followed by gradual resolution, which begins two weeks after the onset of symptoms. Given the phylogenetic relationship between SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, the similar clinical course in severe cases and overlapping CT patterns in the acute setting, persistent radiological and pulmonary functional changes in survivors are conceivable. It is also conceivable that a proportion of survivors will develop progressive ILD, either due to viral or ventilator-induced alveolar damage, or both. Here, the investigators intend to investigate COVID-19 survivors through clinical examinations, functional lung examinations, HR-CT scans, and by determining the "immunofibrotic" pattern in peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge.
This is a first in human (FIH), multi-center, dose escalating study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of AD-214 when administered to healthy volunteers (HVs). The study in HVs will be a randomized, double blind, and placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) (Part B) study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical features and long-term outcome of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) and assess the difference between microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) associated ILD and isolated ANCA-positive idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
The primary intention of this study is to determine the diagnostic performance of ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) in diagnosis and follow-up of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD). We hypothesize that inspiratory and expiratory chest ULDCT has comparable diagnostic yield to standard dose chest High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and utility for follow-up of patients with known DPLD. We will study this hypothesis through the following aims: 1. Determine whether inspiratory and expiratory ULDCT are comparable to HRCT in identifying mosaic attenuation due to air-trapping. 2. Determine whether ULDCT is as good as HRCT for follow-up of patients with established DPLD to identify disease progression.
Multifocal interstitial pneumonia represents the most common cause of admission in intensive care units and death in SARS-CoV2 infections. In our Hospital, similarly to what reported in literature, up to 25% of admitted patients with pneumonitis requires mechanical ventilation or oro-tracheal intubation within 5-10 days. No established treatment is available for this condition. Preliminary evidence is accumulating about the efficacy of an aggressive treatment of the corona virus-induced inflammation and, in particular, investigators believe that blocking JAK1 is clinically rewarding in down-regulating IL-6 driven inflammation in patients with corona-virus infection. Thus, investigators designed a randomized controlled trial to test the hypothesis that adding Tofacitinib to the standard treatment in the early phase of COVID related pneumonitis could prevent the development of severe respiratory failure needing mechanical ventilation.
Treatment of patients with Covid-19 associated pneumonia using intravenous injection of allogenic pooled olfactory mucosa-derived mesenchymal stem cells
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.
