Probably not a fit

Patients with IPF or those unwilling to consent may not benefit from this registry.

What this trial studies

This is a nationwide, multicenter, prospective registry enrolling adults with progressive pulmonary fibrosis in China. Participants will be observed for up to 2 years to track changes in lung function and clinical characteristics, with data collection on treatments and unmet needs. The primary endpoint is the change in FVC (in milliliters) at 1 and 2 years, while secondary aims explore disease progression, treatment patterns, and patient needs in routine clinical care. Eligible participants must meet the 2022 ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT PPF criteria and provide informed consent. Exclusion criteria include IPF diagnosis, absence of baseline HRCT, or concurrent participation in other drug trials.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Participants and clinicians may gain insights into real-world disease progression and treatment gaps, potentially guiding future care strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Other real-world registries have helped characterize PPF progression and treatment patterns, supporting the value of this approach.
