Genomic and Proteomic Analysis of Disease Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
The purpose of the study is to identify genetic and biologic markers that may predict the loss of lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The studies will compare genetic and biologic markers of samples to changes in symptoms. The ultimate goal is to predict if or when patients are …
Cohort of IPF Patients Experiencing an Exacerbation
Extension of the PFBIO cohort which includes patients with newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for longitudinal follow-up for up to 5 years. In the PFBIO-EXA extension, patients are included if they experience an exacerbation, or other increase in respiratory symptoms requiring hospital admission, for further collection of clinical and …
End-expiratory Trans-pulmonary Pressure Guided PEEP Titration in Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis and UIP Pattern Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation
Patients with pulmonary fibrosis and associated usual interstitial pneumonia that require mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure experience poor clinical outcomes. This may be influenced by the unfavorable interaction between the fibrotic lung and the stress and strain stimuli generated during controlled ventilation. Although there is no consensus on how …
Ongoing Monitoring of Vital Signs in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Before and After Acute Exacerbation.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of early detection of acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by the remote monitoring of vital signs. The main question the study aims to answer is: Could a remote monitoring device allow for earlier detection of exacerbations with individualized monitoring …
D Vitamin and Alveolar Macrophages in Idiopathic Pulmonal Fibrosis
The goal of this observational study is to gain deeper insights into human macrophages and vitamin D, and their interplay, within Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The overall questions, it aims to answer, are the following: Do IPF patients suffer from systemic and local (pulmonary) insufficient levels of vitamin D? Do …
The Role of Quantitative CT and Radiomic Biomarkers for Precision Medicine in Pulmonary Fibrosis
This observational study involves obtaining 2 chest CT scans; a historical baseline CT within ±1 year of enrollment into PRECISIONS, and a follow-up CT (either historical or prospective) 12 months ± 180 days after the baseline CT. Many IPF patients will have a CT scan every 12 months for disease …
Predicting Ventilator-associated Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Outcomes Using Sequenced-based Early Microbiological Response
We are using a tool called QtNGS (quantitative targeted amplicon-based next-generation sequencing ) to measure the abundance of local pathogens in patients with ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infections. We hypothesize that changes in pathogen abundance before and after treatment are related to patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the …
Radiologic Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis Interstitial Lung Disease at Chest High Resolution Computed Tomography
Lung involvement is one of the most frequent extra articular involvements of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA related lung involvement can affect parenchyma, airway, vascular tree and serosa. Among all possible manifestations of lung disease, interstitial lung disease is the most severe being able to compromise quality of life and survival …
Effects of Pulmonary Diseases and Their Treatment on Cardiac Function
While the bidirectional relationship between the lung and the right heart are well studied, the cardiopulmonary interactions between the lung and the left heart are largely unresearched and not well understood. However, in recent years, there is a growing evidence that partially explains the bidirectional interaction between COPD and left …
Precision Diagnosis and Care for Families With Pulmonary Fibrosis in Ireland
This study aims to improve the understanding of how genes and the environment can influence and cause pulmonary fibrosis. By identifying the presence of genes and other factors that can put people at risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis, the influence these factors have on the progression of the disease can …
