Creating a database for patients at risk of interstitial lung disease

Official title: Clinical Database for the Early Recognition of Pulmonary Parenchymal Involvement in Patients With Systemic Diseases Bearing a Risk for Interstitial Lung Disease

Run by Medical University of Graz · NCT04707781 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to create a database to help track and monitor patients at risk for interstitial lung disease so they can catch it early and manage it better.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with known systemic diseases that increase their risk for interstitial lung disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients under 18 years old or those with comorbidities that severely limit life expectancy may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to establish a clinical database for patients who are at risk for interstitial lung disease (ILD) and to implement a prospective screening program for early detection of ILD. Participants will undergo chest CT scans to monitor their lung health. The study will collect data to better understand the progression of ILD in patients with known systemic diseases that predispose them to this condition. By gathering this information, researchers hope to improve early diagnosis and management of ILD.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to earlier detection and better management of interstitial lung disease in at-risk patients.

How similar studies have gone: While similar observational studies have been conducted, this specific approach to creating a comprehensive database for ILD risk assessment is relatively novel.
