FAPI PET for Lung Fibrosis
This is a prospective exploratory biodistribution study in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this research study is to determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPI-46) accumulates in normal and fibrotic lung tissues of patients with interstitial lung disease. The study will include patients with interstitial lung disease who have or will initiate a new ILD medication OR will undergo tissue biopsy or surgery of the lung. The study will include 30 patients, the upper limit for PET imaging studies conducted under the Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC) purview. Participants will be injected with up to 7 mCi of 68-GaFAPi...

Fibrosing ILD Biomarkers That Rule Acceleration
FIBRALUNG is a prospective cohort study with biobank of samples from patients with pulmonary fibrosis, aiming to explore the molecular determinants of different clinical outcomes, acute exacerbations and mortality. We expect to gain deeper insight into fibroproliferative common pathways, particularly between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, paving the way for new biomarkers that reflect the progressive phenotype, that eventually will support new targeted therapies. Other idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung diseases and sarcoidosis patients will be also recruited and their...

Frequency-time Analysis of Pathological Lung Sounds: Detection and Quantification of Pathological Sounds in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis, Pulmonary Fibrosis or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
The main objective of the study is to assess the potential of time-frequency representation and analysis of pulmonary sounds collected with an electronic stethoscope, as part of the routine monitoring of patients with cystic fibrosis, COPD or pulmonary fibrosis.

Genentech Validation Tool for Pulmonary Fibrosis
Radiology is an important component of the multidisciplinary team. The primary goal of this project will be to create a tool using findings on chest computed tomography (CT) for nearly 300 patients with the most common types of fibrosis. The tool will be tested using chest CT scans of an additional 100 patients with the 3 most common diagnoses of fibrosis. The second objective will be to further validate the tool by performing a reader study with 3 co-investigating radiologists and ask them to look at 100 CT scans of patients with fibrosis without tool and then with tool and see if accuracy of diagnosis improves compared to the working diagnosis when using the tool.

Genetic Polymorphisms in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
The purposes of this study are: - to determine if there are specific genetic traits that might explain why patients have developed pulmonary fibrosis; - to determine if specific genetic traits account for differing patterns of inflammation and scar tissue that has formed in the patient's lungs.

Genomic and Proteomic Analysis of Disease Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
The purpose of the study is to identify genetic and biologic markers that may predict the loss of lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The studies will compare genetic and biologic markers of samples to changes in symptoms. The ultimate goal is to predict if or when patients are likely to experience a rapid decline in lung function due to disease progression.

Glucocorticoids Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is associated with a poor prognosis, with a 3-month mortality rate of over 50%. To date, no treatment has been proven to be effective in AI-FPI. The interest of glucocorticoids is controversial and needs to be confirmed. This confirmation is mandatory to validate the improvement of the prognosis of EA-IPF under this treatment but also to search for unsuspected deleterious effects as it has been shown with immunosuppressants in stable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Glucose Monitoring in Youth With Cystic Fibrosis During Pulmonary Exacerbations
The goal of this study is to investigate the prevalence of dysglycemia with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) obtained during pulmonary exacerbations, both outpatient and inpatient, in youth with cystic fibrosis (CF).

H01 in Adults With Interstitial Lung Disease (The SOLIS Study)
Background: Interstitial lung disease affects the tissues that aid the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the bloodstream. The disease can cause fibrosis, a thickening and scarring of lung tissue. Fibrosis often continues getting worse, and most people with this disease die in 3 to 5 years. Objective: To test a study drug (hymecromone) in people with interstitial lung disease or lung fibrosis. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with interstitial lung disease or lung fibrosis. Design: Participants will have at least 7 clinic visits over 5 months. Participants will have screening and baseline visits. They will have blood tests...

Head-to-head Comparison of Diagnosis Value of Pulmonary Fibrosis on 68Ga-FAPI-04 and 18F-FDG PET-CT
68Ga-fibroblast activating protein inhibitors(FAPI) has been developed as a tumor-targeting agent as fibroblast activation protein is overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts and some inflammation,such as inflammatory bowel disease. And it might be more sensitive than FDG in detecting a certain type of inflammations according to our preliminary research. Thus this prospective study is going to investigate whether 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, therapy response assessment and follow-up of Pulmonary fibrosis than 18F-FDG PET/CT.
