Therapeutic Antioxidant Supplementation
A remotely administered study, non-randomized, non-blinded, controlled parallel assignment phase 2 trial to determine if oral inosine or inositol hexaphosphate will provide an effective long-term therapy to combat or slow neural damage progression either concurrently with existing iron chelation therapy or during the natural course of the disorder. Clinical changes in hearing, balance, and mobility, and cognition will be assessed for 36 months through patient-reported outcomes of study assigned assessments.

The Role of Quantitative CT and Radiomic Biomarkers for Precision Medicine in Pulmonary Fibrosis
This observational study involves obtaining 2 chest CT scans; a historical baseline CT within ±1 year of enrollment into PRECISIONS, and a follow-up CT (either historical or prospective) 12 months ± 180 days after the baseline CT. Many IPF patients will have a CT scan every 12 months for disease monitoring and cancer screening. Participants will have the option to share historical CTs only or they can choose to have a research CT done for the follow-up scan, if a scan for clinical purposes is not available.

The Role of Standardized Training in the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease by Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy
The aim of this study was to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to design simulator and in vitro lung standardized training, to perform a learning curve evaluation of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) operating physicians, and to assess the role of standardized training in TBLC.

The SHIELD Whole Lung Lavage Study
An observational cohort study that will assess the efficacy of Whole Lung Lavage in workers with silicosis or silica-induced bronchitis.

Thorax MRI for Evaluation of Lung Morphology, Ventilation and Perfusion
In spite of the considerable technical difficulties, several publications confirm the potential that T1-maps and MRI to characterize pathological changes in lung tissue. However, existing literature still cannot provide a final evaluation of the presented methods. Study participants won't have any disadvantage in participating the study since all of them undergo next to the MRI-Scan also the two standard methods: CT and lung function test. In this study the value of chest MR compared to CT and LFT in the evaluation of morphological lung changes and their correlation to lung ventilation and perfusion will be evaluated.

Using Silica 12CH to Mitigate the Effects and Symptoms of Silicosis in Brazil
This clinical study aims to address a research and clinical treatment gap related to individuals with symptoms of Silicosis resulting from quartzite mining work. Silicosis represents a challenge in this specific population in Sao Thome das Letras, Minas Gerais. Silicosis is a severe disease and is considered incurable. Current conventional medicine only offers palliative care for those with Silicosis, highlighting the important and urgent need for research into complementary care approaches.

Infusion of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis With Refractory Pulmonary Involvement
Progressive SSc is an entity with limited therapeutic alternatives and with asurvival rate of less than 45% in the first 3 to 5 years. The disease causessevere limitation in quality of life ranging from functional limitation to depression. Up to 20% of patients will be refractory to conventional treatment with diseasemodifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and cyclophosphamide therapy.This favors the progression to visceral involvement including gastrointestinal,lung and pulmonary hypertension. The latter being a poor prognostic factor,increases mortality in this group of patients and drastically affects their qualityof life. For...
