The OPTIMIZE-ILD-1 trial is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the impact of a coordinated diagnostic pathway on patients with suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD). In routine clinical practice, diagnostic workflows for ILD are frequently fragmented, involving multiple independent appointments that can lead to significant delays and …
The investigators hypothesize that in patients with a new diagnosis of Pulmonary Interstitial Disease (PID), adding capillaroscopy to standard care increases the proportion of patients receiving a diagnosis of PID-Connective Tissue Disease (PID-CTD) within the first three months of follow-up, thereby reducing the time to diagnosis and facilitating the implementation …
Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) cover a broad range of systemic rheumatic disorders characterized by abnormal immune activation, chronic inflammatory response, and fibrosis of internal organs. The most prevalent is interstitial lung disease (ILD), a severe pulmonary complication seen in 10 to 50% of CTDs and a major determinant of disability …
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of scarring (fibrotic) lung disease. Reduced exercise capacity is a key symptom experienced by patients. In previous research the investigators identified that an interval-based exercise programme led to significant improvements in exercise capacity (Wallis et al Antioxidants. 2023). An unexpected finding was that …
The OXISITE-ILD study is a prospective, multicenter, observational study designed to evaluate the agreement between finger (digital) and earlobe (auricular) pulse oximetry for measuring oxygen saturation (SpO2) during the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). In routine clinical practice, exercise SpO2 is usually measured at …
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the usefulness of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe gas MRI for regional assessment of pulmonary function.
This is an open-label, single arm Phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebelizumab combined with carboplatin/Cisplatin plus (+) etoposide and concurrent radiotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with extensive stage oligometastatic small cell lung cancer.
The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections have gradually increased over the years worldwide (1-3). In China, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) was the most prevalent NTM specie (4), while challenged by long treatment duration, frequent drug-induced adverse events, lack of treatment alternatives, poor treatment outcome and high recurrence …
The researchers have worked to create consensus recommendations among national efforts to help with the transition and coordination of care for preterm infants with lung disease around discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit to home. This study looks to evaluate implementation of the recommendations at Boston Children's Hospital and …
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the impact of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program with health coaching on patient-reported respiratory-related quality of life and physical activity, as compared to usual care in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease.
