Predicting health outcomes in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a condition called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which causes lung scarring. Researchers want to develop a tool to predict how the disease will progress, so they will collect health data over time to see what factors affect outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a specific type of lung scarring.
- You must have initial health records (like breathing tests) available from when you join.
- You need to have follow-up data for at least 12 months, or until you experience a major event such as death or lung transplant.
- You cannot have a different type of interstitial lung disease (another lung scarring condition).
- You cannot have had a lung transplant before the study starts.

This trial is for people with scarring lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis) in Ireland. It aims to better understand and care for the condition, especially in families. The study will look at medical data and may help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at what causes familial (inherited) pulmonary fibrosis by studying relatives who are not yet diagnosed with the lung disease. You may help researchers understand risk and early changes in the lungs within families.
This study uses detailed CT scans to find better ways to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors choose the right treatment for each person.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) and protein changes over time in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, to better understand how the disease progresses. Your participation may help researchers learn patterns that could guide future care.
This study looks at how well people with pulmonary fibrosis can breathe in and aims to see if their breathing flow rate is linked to their condition. It may help doctors understand more about the disease and plan better care.
This study builds a community registry to learn about people affected by pulmonary fibrosis and related lung conditions, including patients, caregivers, and close family. By joining, you help researchers better understand needs and experiences in the real world.
