Brief Summary:
Study of progression of fibrosis in ILD

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Interstitial Lung Disease Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Procedure: Optional Bronchoscopy Other: Quality of Life Questionnaires Other: Blood Samples for Biomarkers Other: Home Hand Held Spirometry

Detailed Description:

The overall aims of this study are

  • Identify biomarkers and gene expression profiles that determine progressive fibrotic lung disease regardless of aetiology
  • To prospectively assess biomarkers which predict progressive fibrosis in patients with fibrosing lung disease of alternate aetiology, including RA-UIP, Asbestosis, Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis and Unclassifiable fibrotic lung disease
  • Investigate genetic associations and epigenetic modifications which affect fibrotic disease severity and progression
  • Prospectively evaluate longitudinal disease behaviour in patients with non IPF-fibrotic lung diseases with a view to developing composite clinical end-points for subsequent use in intervention studies in patients

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Case
A diagnosis of Fibrotic Lung disease classified in 4 categories, RA-UIP, Asbestosis, Chronic HP and Unclassifiable as agreed by an ILD MDT consensus panel.
 Procedure: Optional Bronchoscopy
Patients can decide to have an optional bronchoscopy so that samples can be taken for research up to three months from baseline.

Other: Quality of Life Questionnaires
MRC Dyspnoea, SPARC, KBILD and EQ-5D-5L will be administered at baseline, 3 months, 12 months and 24 months,

Other: Blood Samples for Biomarkers
a 40ml research blood sample to be taken at baseline, 3 months, 12 months and 24 months.

Other: Home Hand Held Spirometry
Patients will download an app and are given a small hand held device to record their own spirometry at home. This is blinded for the first three months of the study and then requested a week before and a week after the three follow up points (3m, 12m, 24m)
Control
Positive control will be frequency matched to cases of ILD and will be people in secondary care who have an MDT diagnosis of Definite IPF.
 Procedure: Optional Bronchoscopy
Patients can decide to have an optional bronchoscopy so that samples can be taken for research up to three months from baseline.

Other: Quality of Life Questionnaires
MRC Dyspnoea, SPARC, KBILD and EQ-5D-5L will be administered at baseline, 3 months, 12 months and 24 months,

Other: Blood Samples for Biomarkers
a 40ml research blood sample to be taken at baseline, 3 months, 12 months and 24 months.

Other: Home Hand Held Spirometry
Patients will download an app and are given a small hand held device to record their own spirometry at home. This is blinded for the first three months of the study and then requested a week before and a week after the three follow up points (3m, 12m, 24m)


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Disease Progression [ Time Frame: Within 12 months ]
    Disease progression defined as >10% relative decline in FVC (using either hospital spirometry or home hand held spirometry) or death within 12 months.

  2. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 10 years ]
    All patients will be tagged at the central NHS registry in order to provide mortality data. For this reason we will need to keep our datasets active for up to 10 years to allow a complete mortality analysis.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Serum and Plasma Biomarkers [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 12 months, 24 months ]
    SPD, MUC16, CA199, Nordic Neoepitopes


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. DLco [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide

  2. Quality of Life Questionnaires [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 12 months, 24 months. ]
    Assessment of how the patients well-being may be affected over time by their interstitial lung disease

  3. Domicillary Spirometry [ Time Frame: Daily for the first 3 months of study then at 2 week periods around time of planned follow up ]
    Change in home handheld spirometry values from baseline to 12 weeks


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Blood (Serum, Plasma) Bronchoscopy Biopsy Samples (Optional)
