NCT04494334

Brief Summary

The study will measure airway inflammation in probable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sarcoidosis as well as in healthy volunteers. This can help understand the molecular basis of these diseases, why these diseases happen, and what makes patients develop lung fibrosis. These insights should one day help to monitor patients and aid in their diagnosis and treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

    Baseline Bronchoscopy visit

  • Levels of the biomarker/mediator CCL18 in bronchial Lining fluid in IPF and sarcoidosis patients.

    Comparisons will be made of bronchial lining fluid levels of biomarker/mediator CCL18 in patients with IPF and sarcoidosis

    Baseline Bronchoscopy visit

  • Levels of the biomarker/mediator CXCL13 in bronchial Lining fluid in IPF and sarcoidosis patients.

    Comparisons will be made of bronchial lining fluid levels of biomarker/mediator CXCL13 in patients with IPF and sarcoidosis.

    Baseline Bronchoscopy visit

  • Levels of the of biomarker/mediator periostin in bronchial Lining fluid in IPF and sarcoidosis patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients diagnosed with probable IPF and Sarcoidosis will be included. Patients with probable IPF and Sarcoidosis will be selected from clinic lists for patients undergoing bronchoscopy as part of their clinical assessment, and they will be invited to participate in this study that involves additional sampling for clinical research purposes. Probable IPF patients must have Usual Interstitial Pneumonitis (UIP) on CT scan and will be sub classified by gas transfer (DLco corrected for haemoglobin as detailed below; * Mild (DLco\>60) * Moderate (DLco 40-60) * Severe (DLco\<40) Healthy volunteers (age/sex matched, non-smoking, without a clinical history of atopy). The patient populations will include: * Probable Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), n=30 * Sarcoidosis patients, n=15 * Healthy Volunteers n=15

You may qualify if:

  • Adult male or female patients aged 40 to 85 years
  • Women of childbearing age should not be pregnant, planning to get pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Command of the English language to be able to give informed consent.
  • Probable IPF requiring bronchoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, agreed within the local multi-disciplinary team (MDT).,according to the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society/Japanese Respiratory Society/ American Latin Thoracic Association (ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT) guidelines (2018) (3)
  • IPF disease diagnosis within the past 5 years
  • Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) on HRCT scan.
  • Recent lung function criteria:
  • Forced vital capacity (FVC) \>40% of predicted value.
  • Carbon monoxide diffusing lung capacity (DLco) corrected for haemoglobin \>30% of predicted value
  • Adult male or female patients aged 18 years and over
  • Women of childbearing age should not be pregnant, planning to get pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Clinical symptoms, CT scan and biopsy diagnosis of sarcoidosis
  • Patients with lung parenchymal disease and pulmonary stage II or more
  • Recent lung function criteria
  • FVC\>50% predicted
  • +4 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Respiratory Conditions other than IPF or sarcoidosis:
  • Confirmed diagnosis of occupational lung disease
  • Drug-induced lung disease or hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • Lung and systemic autoimmune disease including connective tissue disease. Patients with an auto-immune profile considered diagnostic for a specific connective tissue disease will be excluded, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. Non-specific rises in auto antibodies e.g. rheumatoid factor; anti-nuclear antibody etc. will not be used to exclude individuals from the study.
  • Asbestosis or other asbestos related disease (pleural plaques, mesothelioma, asbestos pleural effusions)
  • Granulomatous lung disease.
  • Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) requiring a specific treatment.
  • Predominant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with forced expiratory volume in 1 second /forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) \<0.70.
  • Patients with active tuberculosis or incompletely treated latent tuberculosis infection
  • Lung cancer
  • Upper respiratory tract infections in the past 6 weeks.
  • Systemic Conditions
  • History of vasculitis, autoimmune or connective tissue disease
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic viral hepatitis
  • Clinically significant diseases (other than IPF or sarcoidosis) that may alter respiratory biomarkers: including other respiratory, gastrointestinal, endocrine, haematological, cardiovascular, genitourinary, skin or neurological diseases.
  • +13 more criteria
