The Role of Quantitative CT and Radiomic Biomarkers for Precision Medicine in Pulmonary Fibrosis

Description

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.

Conditions

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. ≥ 40 years of age
  • 2. Diagnosed with IPF according to 2018 ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT confirmed by the enrolling investigator
  • 3. Signed informed consent
  • 1. Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant
  • 2. Women of childbearing potential not willing to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use two adequate methods of contraception, including at least one method with a failure rate of \<1% per year during study participation\*
  • 3. Significant medical, surgical or psychiatric illness that in the opinion of the investigator would affect subject safety or potential to complete the research study
  • * A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is post-monarchical, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus).
