Trial summary

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, fatal, fibrotic disorder of the lung. The estimated prevalence is 30-80/100,000 in the United States with incidence estimates clearly rising. A major challenge in the care of patients with IPF is determining prognosis. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population includes subjects with IPF identified via the University of Michigan Interstitial Lung Disease Clinical-Radiologic-Pathologic Conference. The investigators will only enroll subjects in whom an IPF diagnosis is firmly established.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 35-80 years, inclusive
  • Diagnosis of IPF by HRCT or surgical lung biopsy
  • Able to understand and provide informed consent

Who cannot join

  • AE-IPF during the prior year
  • Environmental exposure (occupational, drug, etc.) felt to be the etiology of the interstitial disease.
  • Diagnosis of collagen-vascular conditions according to published American College of Rheumatology criteria.
  • Significant airway obstruction (FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.60) or bronchodilator response, defined as a change in FEV1 ≥ 12% and absolute change > 200 mL OR change in FVC ≥ 12% and absolute change > 200 mL at baseline
  • Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) < 55 mm Hg
  • Evidence of active infection
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Listed for lung transplantation
  • Myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass, or angioplasty within 6 months
  • Unstable angina pectoris or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization or deteriorating within 6 months
  • Uncontrolled arrhythmia or hypertension
  • Known HIV, hepatitis C, cirrhosis, or chronic active hepatitis
  • Active substance and/or alcohol abuse
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Any condition other than IPF that is likely to result in your death within the next year
  • Any condition that, in the judgment of the PI, might cause participation in the study to be detrimental to you or that the PI deems makes you a poor candidate

About this study

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, fatal, fibrotic disorder of the lung. The estimated prevalence is 30-80/100,000 in the United States with incidence estimates clearly rising. A major challenge in the care of patients with IPF is determining prognosis. The natural history of IPF is usually one of inexorable decline in lung function, ultimately resulting in death from respiratory failure. However, longitudinal physiologic decline in IPF is heterogeneous and difficult to predict in individual patients. While some patients with IPF may remain stable for years, in others the disease may progress rapidly over a relatively short time. We hypothesize that peripheral blood biomarkers based on extracellular matrix and matrix-modifying molecules will improve prognostication in patients with IPF.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free survival

    The primary outcome is your progression free survival as determined by time until any of: death, acute exacerbation of IPF, relative decline in FVC (liters) of at least 10% or DLCO (ml/min/mmHg) of 15% from baseline.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of IPF, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Jul 2017.
