About this study

Official title: Connective Tissue Diseases and Lung Manifestations Prospective Trial With Focus on Systemic Sclerosis (Colipris)

Despite a number of prospective studies already initiated in the past years, the current epidemiology and course of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) is still not well defined, particularly regarding its prevalence, incidence and the management of a broad spectrum of disease presentations.

Major challenges include the identification of patients with progressive disease, the appropriate time point of therapeutic intervention and the underlying driver of disease (inflammatory or pro-fibrotic stimulus or both?).

To address these issues in Western Austria, a progressive registry of patients with CTD exploring routine clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of ILD and PH will be conducted. This multidisciplinary, prospective and observational registry aims to collect comprehensive clinical data on incidence, prevalence and course of disease regarding all PH and ILD presentations in a real-world setting.

Read the detailed description

Specifically, this registry will collect demographic data, disease-related clinical data, routine laboratory values (including antibody-profile and iron status), diagnostic procedures, significant comorbidities, therapeutic managements (e.g. thoracic ultrasound, HRCT), and disease outcomes over 10 years.

In addition, blood biobank samples for translational research will be collected in a subgroup of patients with systemic sclerosis over serial time points to study the systemic inflammatory and profibrotic phenotype of patients. In summary, this registry will monitor the disease course of pulmonary manifestations of patients with CTD and may be hypothesis-generating and provide new insights in underlying inflammatory/pro-fibrotic patterns.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pulmonary function testDiagnostic test

    Spirometry or plethysmography, measurement of diffusion capacity

  • ImagingDiagnostic test

    Thoracic ultrasound, HRCT as scheduled within routine clinical examinations, echocardiography

  • Blood samplingBiological

    Standard laboratory test for CTDs as part of routine clinical examination

What is being measured

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

  1. Decline in forced vital capacity

    Absolute decline from baseline in forced vital capacity percent predicted. Lung function tests are performed by a trained professional.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Increase in the modified Rodnan Skin Score

    Change in the modified Rodnan Skin Score from baseline of >5 Points assessed by a trained professional

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Decline in Diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide

    Absolute decline from baseline in diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide in percent measured. Lung function tests are performed by a trained professional.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Connective Tissue Diseases and Interstitial Lung Disease, run by Medical University Innsbruck at 1 site in Austria.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2020. 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 Austria. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Magdalena Aichner, MD (+43 512-504-83765, magdalena.aichner@i-med.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Decline in forced vital capacity (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 May 2020.
