Cryobiopsy Study to Assess Drug Distribution in Subjects With Suspected Interstitial Lung Disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) often affects distal lung, and the evaluation of drug distribution to the relevant lung compartments is essential for development of new treatment options. This single center study will utilize samples obtained by transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) procedure to assess the distribution of inhaled drugs in the lungs of the subjects with fibrotic lung disease using mass spectrometry techniques. The study will have a single visit and will include approximately 20 adult subjects with suspected fibrotic ILD and requiring TBCB as part of their diagnostic assessment. This will provide TBCB samples from up to 20...

Cyclophosphamide for Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is a major event of IPF with an annual incidence between 5 and 10% and is responsible for the death of one third of IPF patients. When AE-IPF occurs, it is associated with poor survival with an overall mortality at 3 months upper of 50%. To date, no treatment has been proved to be effective in AE-IPF but the efficacy of cyclophosphamide (CYC) on survival has been suggested, mainly by retrospective series and needs to be confirmed. This confirmation is mandatory to improve prognosis of AE-IPF but also to avoid unsuspected deleterious effect as it as been shown with immunosuppressor...

Definition of the Status of the Human Lung Stem Cell Niches ex Vivo in Tissue Biopsies Performed in Patients With Emphysema and Interstitial Fibrosis
To characterize stem cell compartments in their niches in different clinical situations (non-diseased compared to emphysematous and fibrotic pulmonary tissue) and to assess their proliferative and developmental properties in vitro. To further implement lung organoid culture system in the drug screening and development of patient personalized medicine.

Determining Disease Activity Biomarkers in Individuals With Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss)
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss) (EGPA) is a rare immune system disorder that causes asthma, an excessive number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood, and the inflammation of blood vessels, or vasculitis. In order to properly treat EGPA, it is critical that the level of disease activity can be determined over the course of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine new biological markers, or biomarkers, that may be used to assess the severity of this disease in people with EGPA.

Diagnostic Value of KL-6 in ILD
KL-6 may be a useful biomarker in patients with interstitial lung disease, but there is limited information in non-Asian populations. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies in other populations to confirm the diagnostic values of the biomarker and its prognostic implication. Hypothesis KL-6 may be a useful biomarker in the management of interstitial lung diseases. But it is necessary to know more about its utility in the European population. Study Objectives: - To determine the concentration of KL-6 in serum of patients with pulmonary fibrosis at the time of diagnosis compared to patients without pulmonary...
