Trial summary

This study aims to evaluate the differences between patient's and their physicians' perception of quality of life and the effect of disease severity and co-morbidities. Patients and physicians will complete two sets of questionnaires at an initial clinic visit and again six months later. 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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All participants in this study will hold a diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) as detailed above. As IPF occurs only in adults all subjects must be 18 years of age or older. Both men and women will be recruited for the study. Subjects of all ethnicities and racial minorities will be recruited. Physicians who are seeing these patients for regular clinical visits during the study will also be included.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a multidisciplinary diagnosis of IPF according to the 2018 ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guidelines.
  • All ranges of disease severity based on pulmonary function testing: forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity (DLCO).

Who cannot join

  • Any impairment or co-morbid disease that results in an inability to read or understand a questionnaire or provide informed consent. The study team member will make this determination according to their best clinical judgement.
  • The questionnaires will be administered in English language only and thus this study will be conducted in patients who are able to read, write, and speak English language.

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Observational Study of the Factors Affecting Patient and Physician Perceptions of Quality of Life in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

This study aims to evaluate the differences between patient's and their physicians' perception of quality of life and the effect of disease severity and co-morbidities. Patients and physicians will complete two sets of questionnaires at an initial clinic visit and again six months later.

Read the detailed description

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a progressive and debilitating disease characterized by progressive scarring of the lung parenchyma of unknown cause. In the US approximately 100,000 individuals have been diagnosed with this disease and the only cure available is lung transplantation. There have been two drugs approved by the FDA for treatment of IPF which have demonstrated the ability to slow disease progression but have no impact on quality of life.

Symptoms of IPF include shortness of breath, cough, and fatigue which all contribute to a decreased quality of life. Additionally, these symptoms and the need for supplemental oxygen use causes significant psychological and social impairment. Multiple questionnaires have been used to measure patient reported quality of life in both clinical and research settings. The King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease (KBILD) Questionnaire is a disease-specific patient reported outcome measure and has been validated across several different patient groups and countries. Additionally, the EuroQol group has developed the EuroQol five dimensional 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire which is a non-disease specific assessment of health-related quality of life and has not yet been widely used in a population of patients with IPF.

Significant disparity between patient and physician perception of quality of life has been demonstrated across different disease processes. While there are many contributing factors to overall wellbeing the general assumption is that with more advanced disease quality of life predictably decreases. The investigators plan to test this hypothesis to better understand the complex relationship between chronic disease and quality of life in patients with IPF.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient and Physician Responses to the Kings Brief ILD (K-BILD) Questionnaire

    A comparison of physician and patient reported quality of life based on responses to the Kings Brief ILD Questionnaire (K-BILD). The domain and total score ranges are 0-100 where a score of 100 represents best health status.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Patient and Physician Responses to the EuroQol five dimensional 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire

    A comparison of physician and patient reported quality of life based on responses to the EuroQol five dimensional 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. The domain ranges are 1-5 and the total score ranges are 5-25 where a score of 5 represents best health status. The visual analog scale portion of the questionnaire ranges from 0 to 100 where a score of 100 represents best health status.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Patient and Physician Responses to the Raghu Quality of Life in Interstitial Lung Disease (RQ-LIFE-ILD) Questionnaire

    A comparison of physician and patient reported quality of life based on responses to a novel visual analog scale questionnaire the Raghu Quality of Life in Interstitial Lung Disease (RQ-LIFE-ILD) Questionnaire. The domain ranges are 0 to 10 and the total score ranges are 0 to 50 where a score of 0 represents best health status.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by University of Washington 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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Patient and Physician Responses to the Kings Brief ILD (K-BILD) Questionnaire (time frame: 6 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04148157, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Dec 2024.
