Trial summary

Data and specimens will be collected longitudinally from patients seen in the UVA Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) clinic in order to describe the phenotypic expression of various interstitial lung diseases. Samples will also be collected from a control group for comparison purposes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Study of the Natural Progression of Interstitial Lung Disease

Data and specimens will be collected longitudinally from patients seen in the UVA Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) clinic in order to describe the phenotypic expression of various interstitial lung diseases. Samples will also be collected from a control group for comparison purposes.

All data will be entered into a repository for future research purposes or screening for new studies that become available. This data will help identify trends and hopefully lead to a better understanding of the disease progression, treatment options, and outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Following the clinical course of patients with ILD will allow description of the natural history of these diseases and prospective analysis of the following specific questions:

  1. Can surrogate physiological markers of disease progression be used in place of mortality? Mortality of a defined cohort of patients will be developed. The surrogate markers include but are not limited to serial cardiopulmonary exercise testing, pulmonary function testing, 6-minute walk testing, HRCT scanning and echocardiography.
  2. Do alternative assessments such as quality of life (QOL) questionnaires provide early prediction of physiological change as measured by the previously described parameters? Periodic QOL questionnaires are regularly conducted in clinic and will be followed
  3. Does rate of deterioration as measured by these previously described parameters affect response to therapy? If we pre-identify rapid decliners from stable subjects, does this variable affect the response to whatever therapy is applied?
  4. Can genetic analysis, genomics, proteomics, microbial and other biomarkers in the blood and cheeks provide insight into the polymorphisms and other elements related to the etiology and pathology of the lung damage?

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Course of Disease

    Course of disease in patients with ILD will be reviewed prospectively for the duration of the study

    Measured: Yearly from date of consent until subject is lost to follow-up or death occurs, whichever comes first, assessed up to 144 months

  2. Subject deaths

    Causes of death in patients with ILD will be reviewed prospectively for the duration of the study

    Measured: Yearly from date of consent until subject is lost to follow-up or death occurs, whichever comes first, assessed up to 144 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interstitial Lung Disease and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by University of Virginia 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 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. 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?

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?

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?

Clinical Course of Disease (time frame: Yearly from date of consent until subject is lost to follow-up or death occurs, whichever comes first, assessed up to 144 months). The study lists 2 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 8 May 2024.
