Clinical Outcomes and Molecular Phenotypes in Smokers With Parenchymal Lung Disease
Despite the implementation of modern public health interventions, 1 in 5 adults in the United States are either current or former smokers and remain at risk for the development of chronic lung diseases. It is unknown how or why any one individual smoker can develop a wide range of lung diseases including chronic obstructive lung disease and/or pulmonary fibrosis. The purpose of this protocol is to collect clinical data, blood, urine, and bronchoalveolar samples from smokers and non-smokers in an attempt to establish phenotypic clinical profiles that correspond to divergent pathways in the expression of such proteins as the transforming ...

Clinical Trial of Chinese Herbal Medicine for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
This open label clinical study will be conducted in School of Chinese Medicine Clinics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) to preliminarily determine whether treatment with the herbal formula PROLUNG could improve Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) symptoms, respiratory function and the quality of life of patients with IPF compared with pretreatment baseline. We propose to recruit 30 participants. The diagnosis and screening will be conducted by respiratory physicians. Those who meet the inclusion criteria will be referred by the expert to the PI. The PI will prescribe the formula in granule form to the participants in Traditional Chinese...

Comparing Measurements Made in an Incremental Shuttle Walk Test and a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test in Patients With IPF
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and potentially fatal lung disease. As IPF progresses, patients become increasingly breathless with reduced exercise capacity and quality of life. A cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a gold standard way of assessing patients with IPF. An incremental shuttle walk test is simpler, cheaper, more widely available and anecdotally preferable to CPET. The investigators will compare the measurements made in an ISWT and a CPET in patients with IPF . We aim to determine whether sufficient information can be gathered in an ISWT to negate the need to undertake CPET.

Comparison of Transbronchial, Cryoprobe and VATS Biopsy For the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
The objective of this study is to compare the sample size, architectural preservation and diagnostic yield of bronchoscopic cryo-probe transbronchial lung biopsy (C-TBBx) to bronchoscopic standard transbronchial lung biopsy (S-TBBx) and Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) lung biopsy for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Computerized Lung Sound Analysis
This clinical trial is conducted within the research project 'Computerized Lung Sound Analysis'. The research goal is the development of a system enabling the automatic classification of lung sounds, which will result in a decision support system for physicians. The objective of this trial is to create a small lung sound corpus, enabling the development of a prototype of the described system. Therefore, investigators record lung sounds with several lung sound transducers distributed on the posterior chest of human test subjects.

Continuation of Nintedanib After Single Lung Transplantation in IPF Subjects
The aim of this study is to assess the utility of nintedanib therapy in addition to usual transplant care in single lung transplant recipients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The investigators hypothesize that in IPF subjects who undergo single lung transplantation the administration of nintedanib 150 mg twice daily in addition to usual transplant care will result in better preservation of lung function at 24 months.
