Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients
The Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol was first developed for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients and was found to be valid and reliable, but there is no validity and reliability study of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in IPF patients. The purpose of the study is to Examine the Validity and Reliability of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients.

Open-Label Dose-Escalation Treatment Study of Patients With IPF
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive fibrotic lung disease resulting in increasing shortness of breath, cough, and low oxygen levels as a result of lung tissue scarring . The goal of this open-label (no placebo) study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of artesunate at three different doses in patients with IPF. The secondary goals are to explore the blood biomarkers present in IPF patients at the beginning of the study and to study how those biomarkers change following treatment with artesunate. Participants will have 7 visits to the study site over 20 weeks which will include physician exams, vital ...

Pinpointing the Factors Affecting Clinical Study Experiences of Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients
Taking part in clinical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what research attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This study will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of pulmonary fibrosis patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future pulmonary fibrosis patients.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Lung Sounds Study
The goal of this observational study is to test whether it is possible to detect particular lung sounds that are unique to patients with the lung disease pulmonary fibrosis and whether any such sounds could be analysed using machine learning to make diagnosing disease easier. Participants will have a sound detection device placed in different locations on the chest and audio sounds will be recorded for analysis. Researchers will compare audio recordings from clinically diagnosed patients with recordings from healthy controls of a similar age to see whether the sounds are sufficiently different within that age group.

Real World Environmental Exposure Study With Healthy and Cystic Fibrosis Subjects
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease that leads to early mortality in Caucasians and affects around 7500 patients in France. Progression of the disease depends on pulmonary exacerbations defined as acute deterioration of respiratory symptoms which ultimately impair lung function and quality of life. Most frequently caused by lung bacterial infections, exacerbations' effects include increased cough, increased sputum production, increased use of antibiotics, dyspnea and decreased lung function. The phenotypic variability of CF suggests the implication of other contributors especially to the CF airway ...

REBUILD-SM Study for People With Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare REBUILD-SM (a purpose-built smartphone app and self-management package) with standard care in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Does REBUILD-SM improve health-related quality of life, symptoms, anxiety, self-efficacy and physical activity for people with ILD? Participants in the intervention group will work through the self-management package with support from a healthcare professional via phone or Zoom. They will also enter deidentified health data into the RE-BUILD smartphone app to track their progress over time. Participants ...

Single Time Point Prediction as Earlier Diagnosis of Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis
This study is a prospective observational study for subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or non-IPF interstitial lung diseases (ILD). The purpose of this study is to compare whether imaging patterns from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) at baseline can predict worsening. Single Time point Prediction (STP) is a score derived from an artificial intelligenc/ machine learning (AI/ML) using the radiomic features from a HRCT scan that quantifies the imaging patterns of short-term predictive worsening.

Skeletal Muscle Function in Interstitial Lung Disease
Dyspnea (i.e. breathlessness) and exercise intolerance are common symptoms for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), yet it is not known why. It has been suggested that muscle dysfunction may contribute to dyspnea and exercise intolerance in ILD. Our study aims to: i) examine differences in the structure and function of the leg muscles in ILD patients, ii) determine if leg muscle fatigue contributes to dyspnea and exercise limitation in patients with ILD, and iii) determine the effects of breathing extra oxygen on leg muscle fatigue, as well as ability to exercise in ILD patients.

Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Treamid for Patients With Reduced Exercise Tolerance After COVID-19
The innovative drug Treamid is planned for use in the treatment of patients with persistent lung damage and reduced exercise tolerance exertion after COVID-19 pneumonia in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIb/III clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of Treamid during a 28-day treatment. The primary objective of the study is to prove that in the Treamid group, the proportion of patients achieving clinically significant load tolerance is statistically significantly higher than in the placebo group. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of Treamid and achievement...
