Rehabilitation in Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis
This study aims to explore the effects of exercise rehabilitation on the functional status of patients with pulmonary fibrosis, assessing both physical and psychological dimensions of health. By identifying significant improvements, we can contribute to the development of comprehensive rehabilitation strategies that enhance patient outcomes and foster a better quality of life for those affected by this challenging condition

Routine vs On-demand ECMO for Lung Transplantation
Lung transplantation is a complex procedure performed in patients with terminal lung disease. The transplant procedure stresses the patient's heart and lungs, which are already taxed by the underlying disease process. The heart-lung machine is occasionally used to support the patient and ensure adequate oxygen supply to other organs during the operation. It can be used routinely in all patients or selectively in patients who exhibit reduced oxygen supply to the remaining organs. This process, known as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), pumps blood out of the body to a heart-lung machine that removes carbon dioxide and returns oxygen-filled blood to the body. Although using the CPB...

Senicapoc in Patients With Worsening Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease
This study will investigate whether the drug called senicapoc can prevent worsening of the scarring in interstitial lung disease. Researchers will compare senicapoc to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if senicapoc works to prevent lung function worsening Participants will be asked to take 3 tablets a day for a period of 26 weeks. Within this period doctors will follow the participants, ask for experience of adverse events, check lung function and organ status, and participants will need to fill out quality-of-life questionnaires. A total of 3 visits is required, at initiation, after 13 and 26 weeks, in addition there is a phone call 4 weeks in. A...

Study to Determine Potential for Drug-drug Interactions When Co-administering Deupirfenidone (LYT-100) and Nintedanib
This is a trial of up to 60-day duration for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers administered deupirfenidone (LYT-100) alone or in combination with nintedanib .

Telomeres Length in Israeli Fibrotic ILD Patients
Individuals with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (FILD) will be recruited after providing informed consent. in addition to routine data as usually collected in the clinic, blood samples will be taken for measurement of telomeres length in peripheral blood leukocytes using the Telomere Restriction Fragment (TRF) Analysis method. Participants with FILD will be followed-up for 1-year after recruitment, including clinical and pulmonary function tests at-least every 6 months, or more frequently, according to the treating physician discretion.

The BALANCE Study: A Study in Spain to Find Out Whether a Patient Support Program Helps People With Pulmonary Fibrosis Who Take Nintedanib
The aim of this study is to describe patients' satisfaction with Patient Support Program (Balance Program), Quality of Life and depression symptoms, dosing pattern, disease symptoms, adverse events and nintedanib discontinuation (both permanent and non-permanent) from study inclusion to 12 months of follow-up.

Treatable Traits in Interstitial Lung Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a multidisciplinary clinic using a treatable traits model of care improves outcomes for patients with interstitial lung disease. This model of care involves identifying patient -specific traits (such as cough, progressive fibrosis, exercise intolerance) and targeting treatments to these. There is significant involvement by allied health members including physiotherapy, dietician, and psychology. The main question is to assess if patients have improved quality of life with this clinic and its interventions, does it have an impact on hospitalisation, and mortality, and is there an economic difference when compared to standard of care.

Ventilation Using Radiographic Examination: Functional Lung Imaging Techniques for the Reduction of Toxicity in Functional Avoidance Radiation Therapy
The goal of this observational validation study is to determine the best implementation of fluoroscopic and CT ventilation imaging in patients having non-stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (non-SABR) radiotherapy for stages II-IV lung cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Assess the dosimetric variation in functional avoidance radiation therapy (RT) plans produced using these ventilation imaging techniques, - Establish a quality assurance procedure for functional lung avoidance radiation therapy, and - Evaluate the clinical acceptable thresholds for accuracy of the method. Participants will: Prior to radiation therapy treatment,...

Zinc and Nicotinamide Riboside for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a clinical trial for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) can recruit and retain participants from their home to study whether a combination of zinc and nicotinamide riboside can treat iIPF. The main questions are: Can the investigators recruit participants, and can participants complete study procedures without physically coming into specific clinical trial sites? Can people with IPF experience improvement in symptoms, quality of life, or functioning if they are take these supplements? The investigators will compare zinc and nicotinamide riboside to matched placebos (look-alike substances that contain no drug) to see if these...
