High Oxygen Delivery to Preserve Exercise Capacity in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients Treated With Nintedanib
The purpose is to determine if patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) taking nintedanib will have improved exercise endurance, breathlessness and quality of life if breathing 60% oxygen compared to standard of care during an 8 week exercise training program.

Home Airway Clearance in CF Patients
Regular bronchial clearance is essential in patients with cystic fibrosis for their bronchial health. SIMEOX® (Physio-Assist, Aix en Provence, France) is an innovative medical device for the drainage of the bronchial tree. By changing the rheological properties of mucus, SIMEOX® helps to mobilize secretions and assists their transport to the upper airways. This technology is based on fundamental research on bronchial mucus rheology. At the present time, SIMEOX® device is mainly used over a short period at the time or after an exacerbation in healthcare structures (hospitals, physiotherapy practices, post-care, and rehabilitation...

Human Autologous Lung Stem Cell Transplant for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Purpose: To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of autologous Lung Spheroid Stem Cells (LSCs) administered by intravenous infusion in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Progressive Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease. Participants: Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Progressive Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease Procedures (methods): 24 patients previously diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or Progressive Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be evaluated at baseline. LSCs will be grown from autologous trans-bronchial...

HypErsensitiVity PneumonITis: DiseAse Progression Characterization
EVITA is a multicentric Latin-American prospective cohort on chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. EVITA's objective is to identify phenotypes and/or endotypes associated with different disease trajectories measured primarily by forced vital capacity (FVC) during a 24 month follow-up period. Other secondary measures of disease progression will also be investigated such as imaging, time to death or lung transplantation, and patient-reported outcomes

Identification of New Biological Markers for the Progression of Mycobacterium Abscessus-induced Lung Disease in Cystic Fibrosis
In this project the investigators aim to identify new biological markers by characterizing the response/inflammation associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis with the aim of increasing current knowledge available on the development and progression of lung disease.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Disease Prospective Outcomes Registry
This registry will collect data on the strategies used to achieve a diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Chronic Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease with Progressive Phenotype (ILD) and the treatment and management efforts applied throughout study follow-up, clinical outcome events and patient reported outcome data. Blood samples will be collected periodically throughout the study for use in future research efforts. For participants with non-IPF, chronic fibrosing ILD with progressive phenotype, HRCT images will be collected throughout the study for use in future research efforts.

ILD-SARDs Registry and Biorepository
A complex interaction between demographic, environmental and genetic mechanisms impact the onset, severity and outcome of ILD-SARDs through dysregulation of the immune system and lung pro-biotic pathways. Comorbidity and genetic risk indicate that there are overlapping pathogenic mechanisms among SARDs, some of which underlie ILD in different SARDs. The purpose of this biobank is to study the clinical, pathological, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of SARDs patients with lung involvement. This will help identify as unique features underlying lung involvement in SARDs. In addition, this may lead to the discovery of novel...

Imaging of Pathologic Fibrosis Using 68Ga-FAP-2286
This is a single arm prospective pilot trial that evaluates the ability of a novel imaging agent (68Ga-FAP-2286) to identify pathologic fibrosis in the setting of hepatic, cardiac and pulmonary fibrosis. FAP-2286 is a peptide that potently and selectively binds to Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP). FAP is a transmembrane protein expressed on fibroblasts and has been shown to have higher expression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cirrhosis, and cardiac fibrosis.

Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Outcomes in Adults and Adolescents With Cystic Fibrosis
There is established evidence that patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) may have altered antibiotic pharmacokinetics compared with non-CF patients. Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam is a novel broad spectrum intravenous beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination antibiotic with potent activity against multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including imipenem non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Relebactam has also been shown to restore imipenem activity in Burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of opportunistic multidrug resistant pathogens that commonly infect patients with CF. This study will determine the pharmacokinetics...
