NCT06911632
MOMENTOUS is a multi-center, randomized study to prospectively evaluate the performance of an ECG-based AI device to predict whether participants with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are at high risk of undiagnosed pulmonary hypertension.
NCT07500818
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) often requires histopathological confirmation when high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings are inconclusive. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgical lung biopsy, but diagnostic yield remains variable and dependent on biopsy location and procedural precision. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) combined with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) may allow more precise navigation to target lung segments and potentially improve biopsy quality and diagnostic yield. This multi-center, investigator-initiated randomized controlled trial will compare conventional bronchoscopy with 2D fluoroscopy guidance versus robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with CBCT guidance for transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in patients undergoing diagnostic evaluation for suspected interstitial lung disease. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo either conventional bronchoscopy or robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. In both groups, four cryobiopsies will be obtained from two lung lobes using a 1.7 mm cryoprobe (en-bloc removal for both study arms). The primary endpoint is the rate of definitive histological diagnosis as determined by a blinded multidisciplinary ILD board.
NCT07398287
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of L-menthol on breathlessness and exercise capacity in patients with Interstitial lung disease (ILD).
NCT06992661
This Phase 1 clinical trial investigates the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of single-dose inhaled RJ026 in healthy volunteers and patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation study employs a parallel-group design with three inhaled dose cohorts (4mg, 8mg, and 12mg) and one oral comparator arm, enrolling a total of 42 patients (12 per inhaled group, 6 in oral group) and 42 healthy volunteers (12 per inhaled group, 6 in oral group). The trial features comprehensive pharmacokinetic sampling through 15 timed blood collections over 24 hours and bronchoalveolar lavage at specified intervals (1h, 6h, 12h, or 24h post-dose) to characterize both systemic and pulmonary drug exposure. The study incorporates rigorous safety monitoring including adverse event tracking, vital sign measurements, and laboratory assessments over a 7-day observation period following drug administration. Conducted at Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Ruijin Hospital over a 12-month period (July 2025-July 2026), this investigation aims to establish the foundational pharmacokinetic parameters and safety profile of RJ026 delivery in ILD patients while comparing pulmonary bioavailability against conventional oral administration.
NCT07319598
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of tetrandrine tablets (60 mg, three times daily) compared to placebo in adult patients with connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease. Patients receive standard treatment (glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants) alongside the study drug or placebo for 24 weeks. The study measures changes in lung function, inflammatory markers, lung imaging, quality of life, and safety outcomes.
NCT06615492
Lung transplantation is a complex procedure performed in patients with terminal lung disease. The transplant procedure stresses the patient's heart and lungs, which are already taxed by the underlying disease process. The heart-lung machine is occasionally used to support the patient and ensure adequate oxygen supply to other organs during the operation. It can be used routinely in all patients or selectively in patients who exhibit reduced oxygen supply to the remaining organs. This process, known as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), pumps blood out of the body to a heart-lung machine that removes carbon dioxide and returns oxygen-filled blood to the body. Although using the CPB increases the risk of bleeding, infection, and coagulation complications, it should still be considered in high-risk patients to compensate for more severe complications such as kidney failure and stroke caused by a lack of cardiopulmonary support. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a recently developed CPB variation associated with fewer bleeding complications. It has recently replaced the traditional heart-lung machine as the preferred method of cardiopulmonary support during lung transplantation. Since ECMO is associated with fewer complications than standard CPB, many centers have increased their use of ECMO during lung transplantation. Some have even employed it routinely. However, there remains significant debate on how often it should be used. Therefore, the study's main objective is to compare the two approaches in lung transplantation, i.e., routine use versus selective use, and to determine if one approach is preferable to the other.
NCT07169253
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate and compare the prognostic value of GAP, ILD-GAP, and CPI scoring systems in patients diagnosed with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), specifically Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, and non-fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can GAP, ILD-GAP, and CPI scores accurately predict prognosis in IPF, fibrotic HP, and non-fibrotic HP patients? * Are there differences in prognostic performance of these models across different ILD subtypes? Researchers will compare the prognostic utility of GAP, ILD-GAP, and CPI scores between IPF, fibrotic HP, and non-fibrotic HP groups to see if one scoring system offers superior predictive power. Participants: * Adults aged ≥18 years * Diagnosed between October 2011 and October 2021 at the University of Health Sciences Yedikule Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital * 143 patients in total (IPF: 45, fibrotic HP: 26, non-fibrotic HP: 72) Participants' data will include: * Clinical and demographic characteristics * Symptom duration * Radiologic imaging findings * Pulmonary function test (PFT) results * Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) findings * Histopathological diagnoses Scoring systems will be calculated using standardized formulas as follows: * GAP (Gender, Age, Physiology) * ILD-GAP (modified GAP for CTD-ILDs) * CPI (Composite Physiologic Index = 91 - \[0.65 × %DLCO\] - \[0.53 × %FVC\] + \[0.34 × %FEV1\])
NCT06869499
The goal of this clinical trial is to optimise and facilitate screening for Acid SphingoMyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) disease, by evaluating acid sphingomyelinase activity and, where appropriate, LysoSM levels in a cohort of 200 participants with diffuse interstitial lund disease (ILD) at risk of developing ASMD disease. ILD is common in the general population, so in order to limit the number of differential diagnoses, the population to be studied will be restricted to participants aged between 15 years and 3 months and 60 years, with ILD plus ground-glass opacities on chest CT scan certified by a pulmonologist/radiologist or internist, AND splenomegaly or splenectomy, and/or thrombocytopenia, and/or low HDL cholesterol, and/or parental consanguinity which increase the sensitivity of ASMD screening. In this clinical trail, two procedures are added, participants will be asked for : * a blood sample to measure the acid sphingomyelinase enzyme activity and LysoSM, if required. * a follow-up visit at 6 months
