High-flow Oxygen Therapy During Exercise in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Objectives: To evaluate endurance time during cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performance comparing standard oxygen therapy to high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with exertional desaturation. To assess oxygenation level as well as dyspnea and fatigue during exercise in IPF subjects with exertional desaturation using oxygen supplementation with HFNC compared with standard oxygen supplementation. Method: multicenter crossover clinical trial. Patients with IPF presenting oxygen desaturation during the six-minute walking test (6MWT) (SpO2 mean ? 85%) will be included consecutively . Each subject evaluated will perform initially an incremental CPET to evaluate the patient's maximum exercise capacity. Supplemental oxygen will be applied to maintain SpO2 >85% with a Venturi mask. Maximum exercise capacity and the appropriate final oxygen inspiratory fraction (FiO2) needed for the following tests will be determined. Posteriorly each patient will perform two constant load CPET (at 75% of the maximum workload achieved with the incremental CPET); one with standard oxygen therapy and the other one with HFNC oxygen therapy. Endurance time, dyspnea and leg fatigue and oxygen saturation will be recorded. Evaluation measures: Endurance time, dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg scale), and oxygen saturation.

Longitudinal Changes in Serum KL-6 in IPF

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease with a poor prognosis. More accurate tests to predict disease progression and response to treatment are required. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) is a blood marker associated with IPF. Results from previous studies have shown that levels of KL-6 are higher in patients with IPF compared to people without the disease. In addition, it is not clear what impact treatment has on KL-6 levels, and whether this could help us to monitor how effective treatment for IPF is. The investigators plan to perform a study in which KL-6 levels in the blood of patients with a new diagnosis of IPF are measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months to look for and changes in the levels of KL-6 in the blood.

Investigating Significant Health Trends in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a manifestation of chronic progressive fibrosing interstitial pneumonia,ia a rare disease. Current treatment options are limited, and the mean survival time of the newly diagnosed (mostly elderly) patients is only about 2-3 years. As in Europe data are limited on the characteristics and management of such patients, INSIGHTS-IPF was initiated as a new registry that documents newly diagnosed (incident) and prevalent patients with confirmed IPF diagnosis prospectively.The registry will contribute to the optimization of the management of IPF patients in the long term.

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. Participants: Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Procedures (methods): 24 patients previously diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be evaluated at baseline. LSCs will be grown from autologous trans-bronchial pulmonary biopsy specimens. The first group, consisting of 6 patients will be randomized after completion of the screening procedures to either a treatment group of 100 million LSCs administered via intravenous infusion or to a control group (standard care) in a 2:1 LSC to control group ratio. The second group of 18 patients will be randomized after completion of the screening procedures to either a treatment group of 200 million LSCs administered via intravenous infusion or to a control group (standard care) in a 2:1 LSC to control group ratio. Patients will be randomized using permuted blocks in a 2:1 LSC to control group ratio, providing a distribution of 8:4:12 patients among the control, low dose, and high dose groups, respectively. If the patient is randomized and 100 million LSCs are not achieved, then the patient will be analyzed separately and another patient enrolled. Intravenous infusion of LSCs will take place 4-8 weeks after the pulmonary biopsies are obtained. All patients will be followed up at months 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 after infusion to complete the safety and efficacy assessments listed herein. All patients will receive standard of care for their IPF.

Social Distancing During the COVID-19 Pandemic and People Living With Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to clinical and functional deterioration of people living with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). As they are considered risk group for COVID-19, it is not recommended that they leave their house and have interaction with people outside. Thus, most of them have not been attend Pulmonary Rehabilitation sections since the beginning of pandemic, neither exercising outdoor, experiencing drastic restrictions in their activities of daily living. It is well known that low level of physical activity in daily life (PADL) in this population is related to poor prognosis, including higher chance of hospitalization due to exacerbation and mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the short- and mid-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical, physical and functional conditions and the PADL level of people living with CRD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and interstitial lung diseases). Participants will be assessed during the social isolation period and they will be reassessed immediately after release from social isolation. Thus, the subjects will be followed-up during 12 months to record symptoms, functional status, quality of life, exacerbations and hospitalizations. The researchers' hypothesis is that those patients will present very low level of PADL in association to sedentarism, poor functional status, more symptoms of dyspnoea, anxiety and depression, poor sleep quality and, consequently, will present more episodes of acute exacerbation of the disease and more hospital admission during the study protocol.

Validation of the Risk Stratification Score in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressing scarring disease of the lungs with an average survival of only 30-36 months since the time of diagnosis, in the absence of treatment. The clinical course of IPF is highly variable, with some patients remaining stable for a prolonged period of time, even in the absence of medical treatment, while others experience rapid and relentless progression. In some cases, the clinical course consists of a stepwise rather than steady decline, with periods of stability alternating with acute respiratory worsening. The variability in clinical course makes it challenging to define prognosis in these patients and, importantly, to determine the right time window for lung transplantation (LTx) referral, listing and priority status on the waiting list. The risk stratification score (RISE) is a new, multi-dimensional staging system for IPF based on the MRC dyspnea score, on physiology variables (pulmonary function tests) captured in the Composite Physiologic Index (CPI), and on the 6-minute walk distance. RISE showed to predict survival in newly diagnosed patients with IPF better than any other individual clinical, functional or radiographic variable. RISE also predicted survival on the waiting list in patients assessed and listed for LTx. The objective of this study is to validate this staging system in a large cohort of patients newly diagnosed with IPF and followed for at least 3 years.

Influence of Socioeconomic and Environmental Factors on the Natural History of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis(IPF) is the most common idiopathic interstitial lung disease whose cause is unknown. With age and gender, socio-economic factors are the most influential indicators of health. At present there is very little data on socio-economic factors in the IPF. The investigators hypothesize that a lower socio-economic level and / or exposure to various air pollutants may influence the IPF's natural history, including the severity of diagnosis and prognosis of the IPF. The investigators also hypothesize that the deleterious effect of air pollutants is modulated by individual susceptibility (shorter telomeres) and that this effect is related to oxidative stress and shortening of telomeres.
