Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is being done to determine whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using inhaled hyper-polarized 129 Xenon gas can help visualize impaired lung function to detect changes over time in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients receiving approved IPF treatments.

Participants will undergo an approximately hour long comprehensive MRI protocol, including administration of multiple doses of hyper-polarized 129 Xenon. The subjects will have this initial study prior to initiation of IPF therapies. Then the participants will have repeat studies at 3, 6 and 12 months following the initiation of therapy.

Inclusion criteria

  • Outpatients of either gender, age > 18.
  • Willing and able to give informed consent and adhere to visit/protocol schedules.

(Consent must be given before any study procedures are performed)

  • Subjects who have been previously on either pirfenidone or nintedanib
  • MRI is contraindicated based on responses to MRI screening questionnaire
  • Subject is pregnant or lactating
  • Resting oxygen saturation on room air <90% on supplemental oxygen
  • Respiratory illness of a bacterial or viral etiology within 30 days of MRI
  • Subject with ventricular cardiac arrhythmia in the past 30 days.
  • Subject has history of cardiac arrest within the last year
  • Subject does not fit into 129 Xenon vest coil used for MRI
  • Subject deemed unlikely to be able to comply with instructions during imaging
  • Recent exacerbation (within 30 days) defined by the need for antibiotics and/or systemic steroids
  • Medical or psychological conditions which, in the opinion of the investigator, might create undue risk to the subject or interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the protocol requirements
