Investigating Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Greece
- Conditions
- Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
- Registration Number
- NCT03074149
- Lead Sponsor
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Brief Summary
To gain further insight on the characteristics, management, disease progression and the outcomes of patients with IPF, as diagnosed and treated under real-world, clinical practice conditions in Greece. More specifically, this registry will be used to: Provide a comprehensive clinical picture of IPF, Track access to health care and cost of caring for IPF patients over time, Examine the implementation of treatment guidelines used on patients diagnosed with IPF, according to the existing diagnosis guidelines, Characterization of patients on different treatments. To provide information regarding survival and mortality causes, IPF exacerbations as well as IPF patient co-morbidities including myocardial infarction, CNS infarction, other arterial thromboembolic events, deep vein thrombosis, hemorrhage, gastrointestinal perforation and pulmonary hypertension. Data regarding IPF patient hospitalization will be collected and evaluated with regards to potential respiratory causes, and there will be documentation of treatment patterns and economic aspects. Patients will be followed up for 2 years and information regarding IPF treatment changes since the last visit will be collected.
- Detailed Description
Purpose: To gain further knowledge on the characteristics, management, progression and outcomes of patients with IPF as treated under real-world, clinical practice conditions in Greece
Study Design:
National, multi-center, observational disease registry based on new data from a significant sample size of IPF patients in Greece. Patients will be followed up for 2 years and information will be collected during this time period. This is a non-interventional study and primary data collected during study visits will be used

Name Time Method Number of Patients in Each Category of Non-pharmacological Treatment for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) by Study Visit At baseline visit and at 3 months, at 6 months, at 12 months, at 18 months and at 24 months after the baseline visit. Number in each category of non-pharmacological treatment (e.g. start of Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT), new listing for lung transplantation, physiotherapy) for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) by study visit is reported.
The categories of non-pharmacological treatment for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) are the following:
* No
* Yes
* Unknown
* MissingNumber of Patients in Each Category of Physician's Clinical Assessment of the Probable Course of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) by Study Visit At baseline (up to 12 months prior to baseline visit) and at 3 months, at 6 months, at 12 months, at 18 months and at 24 months after the baseline visit. Number of patients in each category of physician's clinical assessment of the probable course of IPF by study visit is reported. Physician's clinical rating of the probable course of IPF (stable, slow or rapid progression) was based on available Forced vital capacity (FVC) results, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) results, physical examination, hospitalizations/events between the visits. The categories of physician's clinical assessment are the following:
* Stable disease
* Slow progression
* Rapid progression
* No judgement possible
