It's Not JUST Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Study

Conditions
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Interstitial Lung Disease
Registration Number
NCT03670576
Lead Sponsor
University of Nottingham
Brief Summary

Study of progression of fibrosis in ILD

Detailed Description

The overall aims of this study are

* Identify biomarkers and gene expression profiles that determine progressive fibrotic lung disease regardless of aetiology

* To prospectively assess biomarkers which predict progressive fibrosis in patients with fibrosing lung disease of alternate aetiology, including RA-UIP, Asbestosis, Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis and Unclassifiable fibrotic lung disease

* Investigate genetic associations and epigenetic modifications which affect fibrotic disease severity and progression

* Prospectively evaluate longitudinal disease behaviour in patients with non IPF-fibrotic lung diseases with a view to developing composite clinical end-points for subsequent use in intervention studies in patients

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival10 years

All patients will be tagged at the central NHS registry in order to provide mortality data. For this reason we will need to keep our datasets active for up to 10 years to allow a complete mortality analysis.

Disease ProgressionWithin 12 months

Disease progression defined as \>10% relative decline in FVC (using either hospital spirometry or home hand held spirometry) or death within 12 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum and Plasma BiomarkersBaseline, 3 months, 12 months, 24 months

SPD, MUC16, CA199, Nordic Neoepitopes
