About
The goal of this observational study is to identify early biomarkers that can predict the development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in participants with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). The participant population includes adults diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF), other fibrotic ILDs, and interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare the outcomes between participants diagnosed with IPF/FPF, other fibrotic ILDs, and ILA to see if early detection biomarkers differ among these groups.
Participants will:
Full description
Included participants will complete several study visits to collect clinical data and biological samples. Study visits will be performed at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months, with a 2-month time window for follow-up visits. These time points are aligned with the standard clinical follow-up visits outlined in the ILD Care Path Protocol of Amsterdam UMC.
