Trial summary

The overall aim of this study is to develop a test that predicts the prognosis of IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) and which could be used to determine whether new treatments for IPF are likely to work. Read more about this study

Study population: Participants will be recruited from IPF clinics

Who may be able to join

  • A diagnosis of IPF using the consensus criteria (32)and Non Specific Interstitial Pneumonia.
  • Between the age group 18-85 years.

About this study

The overall aim of this study is to develop a test that predicts the prognosis of IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) and which could be used to determine whether new treatments for IPF are likely to work.

Read the detailed description

The overall objectives of this study are

  • Discover and validate novel biomarkers and gene expression profiles for use in subsequent intervention studies in patients with IPF
  • To prospectively validate a panel of previously published biomarkers in patients with well characterized idiopathic fibrosing lung disease
  • Investigate genetic associations and epigenetic modifications which affect disease severity and progression
  • Prospectively evaluate longitudinal disease behaviour in patients with IPF and NSIP with a view to developing composite clinical end-points for subsequent use in intervention studies in patients with IPF

Biomarkers that can be used for the following purposes will be identified:

  • Identify patients (Diagnostic)(e.g. discriminate between health and disease)
  • Correlate with disease severity (extent of disease, staging of disease)
  • Predict clinical progression (Prognostic)(stable vs progressive disease)
  • Track response to therapy (Therapeutic response)- Predict response to known efficacious treatments \& Correlates with changes in clinical endpoints/mortality/quality of life
  • Predict risk of exacerbations (could be used to prevent exacerbations or reduce their severity)
  • Correlate with complications and/or comorbidities (e.g. biomarkers of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, Gastro Oesophageal Reflux in IPF, etc)

What is being measured

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

  1. Discover biomarkers in IPF

    • Discover and validate novel biomarkers for use in subsequent intervention studies in patients with IPF
    • To prospectively validate a panel of previously published biomarkers in patients with well characterized idiopathic fibrosing lung disease
    • Investigate genetic associations and epigenetic modifications which affect disease severity and progression

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Survival from Pulmonary fibrosis.

    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.

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by University of Nottingham at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Discover biomarkers in IPF (time frame: 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01134822, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 15 Oct 2018.
