Impact of Early Lung Physiology, Viral Infections and the Microbiota on the Development and Progression of Lung Disease in Children With Cystic Fibrosis
This study collects data on microbiological factors and lung function parameters (e.g. spirometry, body plethysmography, lung-MRI) to assess their interaction on the lung growth and lung development of infants and children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

INCHANGE - Nintedanib for Changes in Cough and Dyspnea in Patients Suffering From Chronic Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease With a Progressive Phenotype in Everyday Clinical Practice: a Real-world Evaluation
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between changes from baseline to 52 weeks in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) [% pred.] and changes from baseline to 52 weeks in dyspnea score [points] or cough score [points] as measured with the living with pulmonary fibrosis (L-PF) questionnaire over 52 weeks of nintedanib treatment in patients suffering from chronic fibrosing Interstitial lung disease (ILD) with a progressive phenotype (excluding idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)).

Influence of Socioeconomic and Environmental Factors on the Natural History of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis(IPF) is the most common idiopathic interstitial lung disease whose cause is unknown. With age and gender, socio-economic factors are the most influential indicators of health. At present there is very little data on socio-economic factors in the IPF. The investigators hypothesize that a lower socio-economic level and / or exposure to various air pollutants may influence the IPF's natural history, including the severity of diagnosis and prognosis of the IPF. The investigators also hypothesize that the deleterious effect of air pollutants is modulated by individual susceptibility (shorter telomeres) and ...

Inhaled Mannitol on Mucociliary Clearance in Moderate to Severe Cystic Fibrosis
This study will provide important mechanistic information regarding the effect of inhaled mannitol (Bronchitol) in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) with moderate to severe disease who are already using elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (E/T/I). Many patients have already discontinued hypertonic saline and other pulmonary therapies because of the profound effect of E/T/I of their symptoms and lung function. Further, because both inhaled osmotic agents (i.e., Bronchitol, hypertonic saline [HS]) and E/T/I are believed to exert their beneficial effects through improvements in mucociliary clearance (MCC), it is unknown if the combination ...

Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease marked by reduced exercise capacity and activity-related breathlessness (commonly termed dyspnea). Our previous work has shown that dyspnea during exercise is associated with an increased drive to breathe (inspiratory neural drive; IND). However, little work has been done to understand the mechanisms of exertional dyspnea in patients with mild IPF. The objectives of this study are to compare the acute effects of inhaled nitric oxide to placebo on ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2), and IND at rest and during a standard cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Twenty ...

Integrating Molecular, Genomic, Morphology and Environmental Features to Improve Precision Diagnosis and Treatment in Interstitial Lung Diseases (PRECISION-ILD)
Integrating Molecular, Genomic, Morphology and Environmental Features to Improve Precision Diagnosis and Treatment in Interstitial Lung Diseases (PRECISION-ILD) Background: Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of >100 different, rare diseases, which share the fate of progressive scarring and, ultimately, death. Two anti-fibrotic drugs have demonstrated to slow-down fibrotic progression and steroids/immunosuppressants are commonly used for inflammatory-driven ILDs. However, patient's response to therapeutic options is variable and unpredictable. Similarly, setting a correct diagnosis is difficult in most...

Interstitial Lung Disease: A Study From Infancy to Elderly Including Relatives
The concerned patients are children and adults suffering from idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, other chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonias with a progressive phenotype, and interstitial pneumonia associated with Scleroderma and related cases of patients carrying a mutation on one of the telomere-associated genes. This is a national, observational, longitudinal, multicenter study that will be conducted retrospectively and prospectively. It aims to collect consistent and comparable clinical data for patients and their relatives, whether they carry a mutation or not, affected by diffuse idiopathic interstitial pneumopathy. ...

Intestine-lung Axis of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Treated With the Combination Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor
Cystic fibrosis is a systemic disease, which affects in particular the respiratory and digestive systems of patients, sites of chronic inflammation. A new combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor has proven its efficacy for the treatment of patients aged 12 years and over with two F508del mutations or a so-called "minimal function" mutation associated with one F508del mutation. European marketing authorization was obtained in August 2020 and access in France should therefore arrive soon. Given that this treatment targets new mutations and that the efficacy seems greater than with LUM/IVA, it is important to assess its impact...
