Determination of Functional Exercise Capacity, Respiratory Muscle Endurance in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
There are not enough studies in the literature comparing functional capacity, respiratory functions and muscle strength of IPF patients with healthy individuals. This study aims to compare functional capacity, respiratory functions and muscle strength of IPF patients with healthy individuals.

Development of FAPI PET as a Non-invasive Biomarker of Pulmonary Fibrogenesis
The goal of this clinical trial is to gain more information about how fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) binds to a certain type of cells in fibrotic lung tissue and how this information can be used to better diagnose and track fibrotic lung disease activity. Participants will undergo up to 4 PET/MRI scans using the FAPI radiotracer.

Downhill Walking in IPF
In this study; will examine the effects of downhill walking (eccentric exercise training) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and blood lactate levels in individuals with IPF. After the initial assessment, patients will be randomized into two groups: downhill walking PR group and Standard PR Group.

Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of of HSK44459 in People With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This study is open to adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who are at least 40 years old. The main objective is to evaluate of the efficacy and the secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic.

Exercise Tolerance and Lower-limb Muscle Power in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Disease
The aim of this study is to validate the six minute Stepper Test (6MST) and the 5-repetition chair lift test (5STS) as measures of exercise tolerance and muscle power, respectively, in patients with chronic respiratory disease. As the reproducibility of the tests has been studied and validated in previous studies, the objective is to investigate the validity of the 6MST and 5STS in comparison with their respective gold standards.

Faecal Microbiota Transplantation to Ameliorate Nintedanib-induced Diarrhea in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This is a multicentric, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will consist of two consecutive phases: 1. First phase: faecal samples will be collected in patients diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with nintedanib. 2. Second phase: double-blind, randomised, clinical trial of autologous faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) vs placebo in Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients who will experience nintedanib-induced diarrhea within 8 weeks of baseline visit. Follow-up visits will be scheduled at 1, 4 and 12 weeks after randomization. The main aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of FMT in ameliorating diarrhea...

FIBRotic Interstitial Lung Disease With Nocturnal hypOXaemia and EXercise Induced desaTuRAtion
This is an observational clinical research study investigating patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (fILD), also known as pulmonary fibrosis. It is not known why some patients with fILD clinically deteriorate. This study will investigate whether measuring oxygen levels during sleep or exercise can help identify patients who are at increased risk of clinical deterioration.

Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has a poor prognosis with limited treatment options. The Investigator hypothesize hyperpolarized Xe129-MRI can be performed in patients with IPF and repeated over time which will detect deficiencies related to perfusion in the lung.

Identifying the Causes and Risk Factors of Pulmonary Exacerbations in Cystic Fibrosis
The CF-Tracker study is a community surveillance study, designed to understand the causes of exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) (pwCF). These are episodes when pwCF become more unwell, typically characterised by increased cough, sputum, and breathlessness, and requiring prolonged courses of oral or intravenous antibiotics. This observational study applies a two-tiered approach over 12 months. It will recruit 200 pwCF to Group A, and an additional 100 pwCF to Group B, which follows the same format but includes additional in-clinic sampling. Participants will provide longitudinal clinical data and biological samples. Group B will be offered at 5 specialist CF...

Inspiratory Effort Assessed Through Nasal Pressure Measurement in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrosing progressive interstitial lung disease with unknown etiology, with a median survival of 3 years since first diagnosis. The typical radiologic pattern of the disease is usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) defined by basal and peripheral (subpleural) predominance and a typical cystic degeneration of lung parenchyma (honeycombing), interstitial fibrotic thickening and traction bronchiectasis. Despite the recent introduction of two antifibrotic treatments (Pirfenidone and Nintendanib) which proved to be successful in slowing the decline of pulmonary function in patients with IPF, a benefit of these therapies on average survival remains...
