An International Study to Characterize the Disease Behaviour of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Disease During the Peri-Diagnostic Period
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Spirometry, Accelerometry, and 1 other intervention for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Disease. Completed, enrolled 178 participants across 37 sites in 6 countries.
Detailed Summary
This international clinical study will enroll participants with a suspected diagnosis of IPF/ILD. This study will characterize the disease behavior of IPF and ILD in the peri-diagnostic period. This objective will be achieved using a multidimensional approach assessing changes in pulmonary function, measured by daily handheld spirometry and site spirometry as well as assessing physical functional capacity at home (accelerometry) and at site (6-minute walk tests \[6MWT\]). Daily handheld spirometry or physical functional capacity assessments are not routinely performed in this participant population. By following participants' lung function before and after diagnosis using home spirometry, levels of physical activity, as well as self-assessment data from the participants (patient reported outcomes; PRO), the study would provide potentially more rapid information on disease behavior and eventually progression compared to usual clinic measurements that occur only every 3-6 months. By receiving data from daily handheld spirometry measurements, treating physicians may have an improved chance of detecting earlier and outside of hospital visits a decline in lung function that could potentially lead to improvements in both diagnosis and treatment for participants with IPF/ILD.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Daily spirometry will be conducted by the participant at home using the study kit provided. Spirometry assessments (FVC) will be conducted at approximately the same time each day with the participant in a seated position. Additionally, site spirometry will also be performed during pre-diagnosis assessment period, on the day of diagnosis, post-diagnosis assessment period, and at end of study.
Daily physical functional capacity assessments (e.g., steps per day, calorie expenditure) will be measured on an ongoing basis using the accelerometry device provided.
The 6MWT will be performed only at sites where a formalized process is available and the test can be performed under safe conditions, during pre-diagnosis assessment period, on the day of diagnosis, post-diagnosis assessment period, and at end of study.
