About this study

To establish a population-based registry of interstitial lung disease in Bernalillo County, New Mexico.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Although many investigations have been conducted to characterize the pathogenesis of interstitial lung diseases, few examined the epidemiology of these disorders in a general population. The establishment of the registry represented the first step in a sequence of investigations designed to characterize the epidemiology of the interstitial lung diseases. The registry initially served a descriptive purpose; the incidence of the interstitial lung diseases was measured in a defined population. Subsequently the registry served as a mechanism for ascertaining cases for a case-control study. Finally, the registry provided population-based data for clinical purposes on presentation, physiology, and natural history of the interstitial lung diseases.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The resources of the New Mexico Tumor Registry were adapted to identify new cases of interstitial lung disease in Bernalillo County. Other sources of information for identifying new cases included pulmonary physicians, primary care physicians, death certificates, and autopsies. After a case of interstitial lung disease had been identified from the various sources of information, data collection included an interviewer-administered symptoms questionnaire, abstracted medical record data, phlebotomy for measurement of serum precipitins, and evaluation of available chest x-rays and biopsy materials. Follow-up was used to determine the natural history of the disease.

The study was renewed in 1993 to complete the work conducted from 1988 through 1992. Case-ascertainment, data collection, and follow-up of incident cases of ILD identified during the period 10/1/88-9/30/92 were completed. The incidence of ILDs was described. The clinical characteristics of patients with ILDs were described. The prognosis of the most common ILDs were described.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Lung Diseases, Interstitial, run by University of New Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not a clinical trial \& was inadvertently entered into the system.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005290, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2024.
