About this study

The investigators assess the prevalence of airway disease associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Korea, and evaluate the effect of these airway diseases on the symptoms and quality of life of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is defined as a specific form of chronic, progressive fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown cause, occurring primarily in older adults, and limited to the lungs. It is characterized by progressive worsening of dyspnea and lung function and is associated with a poor prognosis.

The main symptoms of patients with IPF are dyspnea on exertion and a persistent dry cough or mildly productive cough.

In many IPF patients, cough is often the first symptom, preceding dyspnea on exertion sometimes by years. It affects upwards of 70-85% of patients with IPF.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (prevalence rate 4-18%) and asthma (prevalence rate 5.9-9.9%) are the airway disease whose main symptoms are also dyspnea and cough.

To date, the effect of airway disease has not been well studied in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and the prevalence is unknown in Korea.

Unlike idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, airway disease is a treatable, modifiable disease, so treatment of these diseases may improve QOL in IPF patients.

Therefore, this study's purpose is A. Identify the prevalence of airway disease in IPF patients B. Identify differences in QOL and symptoms according to presence of airway disease C. Identify the symptomatic improvement after active treatment for the airway diseases

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Confirmation of Airway Disease combined with IPFDiagnostic test

    To confirm the airway disease combined with IPF, PFT+BDR+DLCO, MBPT, Induced sputum exam, MAST, Total IgE, serum Eosinophil count, FENO will be done at the time of registration and 6~8 weeks later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants who have asthma combined with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

    Confirmation of asthma : pulmonary function test with bronchodilator response or Methacholine provocation test

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 year

  2. Number of participants who have COPD combined with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

    Confirmation of COPD : pulmonary function test with bronchodilator response

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 year

  3. Number of participants who have Eosinophilic bronchitis combined with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

    Confirmation of Eosinophilic bronchitis : pulmonary function test with bronchodilator response, induced sputum

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 year

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. The difference of CAT scores between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease.

    Quality of life : COPD assessment test(CAT)

    Measured: baseline and after treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  2. The difference of SGRQ scores to assess quality of life between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease.

    Quality of life : St George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)

    Measured: baseline and after treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  3. The difference of mMRC scores to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease.

    Symptom severity : mMRC

    Measured: baseline and after treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  4. The difference of distance of 6MWT to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease.

    Symptom severity : 6 minute walking test(6MWT)

    Measured: baseline and after treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  5. The difference of EQ-5D-VAS scores to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease.

    Symptom severity : EQ-5D-VAS

    Measured: baseline and after treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  6. The difference of CQLQ scores to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease.

    Symptom severity : Cough Quality-of-Life Questionnaire(CQLQ)

    Measured: baseline and after treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  7. Checking the improvement of CAT score to assess the quality of life between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease

    Quality of life : COPD assessment test(CAT)

    Measured: After treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  8. Checking the improvement of SGRQ score to assess the quality of life between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease

    Quality of life : St George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)

    Measured: After treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  9. Checking the improvement of mMRC scores to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease

    Symptom severity : mMRC

    Measured: After treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  10. Checking the improvement of distance of 6MWT to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease

    Symptom severity : 6 minute walking test(6MWT)

    Measured: After treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  11. Checking the improvement of EQ-5D-VAS score to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease

    Symptom severity : EQ-5D-VAS

    Measured: After treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

  12. Checking the improvement of CQLQ to assess symptom severity between patients with airway disease and those without airway disease

    Symptom severity : Cough Quality-of-Life Questionnaire(CQLQ)

    Measured: After treating the airway disease for 6~8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Airway Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2017. 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 South Korea. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants who have asthma combined with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
