Interstitial Lung Disease: A Study From Infancy to Elderly Including Relatives

Study Purpose

The concerned patients are children and adults suffering from idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, other chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonias with a progressive phenotype, and interstitial pneumonia associated with Scleroderma and related cases of patients carrying a mutation on one of the telomere-associated genes. This is a national, observational, longitudinal, multicenter study that will be conducted retrospectively and prospectively. It aims to collect consistent and comparable clinical data for patients and their relatives, whether they carry a mutation or not, affected by diffuse idiopathic interstitial pneumopathy. The expected duration of the study, including data analysis, is approximately 10 years (5 years for participant enrollment and 5 years of follow-up, in addition to the steps for data management and statistical analyses). Each participating center will inform every participant by providing an information sheet, and their written consent will be obtained before including them in the study and commencing data collection. Prospective medical data will be collected at 6 months to 1 year after enrollment and then at least once per year for patients up to 5 years and 5 years for their relatives. Participants will complete a self-questionnaire during their regular follow-up consultations or by accessing a secure interface.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	Unknown
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	N/A and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Confirmed diagnosis of IIP established based on clinical, radiological, or functional criteria. Confirmed diagnosis of non-IPF progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) with fibrosis ≥ 10% on CT scan, disease worsening not related to pulmonary embolism, decompensated heart failure, or lower respiratory tract infection, and disease progression despite "appropriate management" evaluated over a period of up to 24 months:

- A relative decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) of at least 10% from predicted value, with or without clinical deterioration, or.

- A combination of at least 2 of the following criteria: a relative decline in FVC between 5% and 10% from predicted value, worsening respiratory symptoms, increased extent of pulmonary fibrosis on thoracic CT scan.

Confirmed diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis-associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) (American College of Rheumatology criteria), with a total score ≥ 9 and disease extent involving ≥ 10% of the lungs (defined by reticular abnormalities, honeycombing, and ground-glass opacities) on high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan. For relatives: First degree relatives of patients carrying a mutation in TERT, TERC, RTEL1, TINF2, DKC1, PARN genes, and other telomere related genes that may be described in the future and included.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT06036719
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
