Brief summary in lay language

The new INSIGHTS-ILD registry is designed as a "sister" registry of INSIGHTS-IPF. Its objective is to comprehensively document patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (PF-ILD) with regard to various aspects of the disease (patient characteristics, diagnostics, type/efficacy/tolerability of therapy, outcomes). The start of the study coincides with a phase in which new treatment options are available for PF-ILD. We hypothesize that PF-ILD represents a broad clinical phenotype differentially influenced by inflammatory and fibrotic pathomechanisms that need to be treated individually with anti-inflammatory and/or anti-fibrotic treatment strategies.

Brief summary in scientific language

To provide comprehensive information on different PF-ILD within routine clinical practice: utilization of medication, efficacy, safety, quality of life and other patient related outcomes (PRO), and economic variables, including post-treatment follow-up.

Health condition or problem studied

ICD10:
J84.1 - Other interstitial pulmonary diseases with fibrosis
Healthy volunteers:
No

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
Patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (PF-ILD) are followed for several years: the diagnosis, the disease itself (e.g., symptoms, diagnosis date), the use of medications (especially antifibrotic), their efficacy, safety, quality of life, and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and economic variables.Data are taken from the medical record, and no data are documented outside of the clinical routine.

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
Time to progression of disease (any one of the following): • Decrease of FVC > 10 % predicted within one year; • decrease in DLco > 15 % predicted plus initiation of LTOT or permanent increase of oxygen flow when LTOT is established within one year; • decrease of 6-MWD > 50 m within one year; • hospitalization due to respiratory decompensation, • death of any cause; • change of treatment strategy (stop of anti-inflammatory or antifibrotic therapy, initiation of new anti-inflammatory or antifibrotic therapy or a combination of both).
Secondary outcome:
Drug utilization • Treatment strategy (immunosuppression, antifibrotic therapy) • dose and dosing schedule • duration of treatment (persistence) • switches between treatments • phases without drug treatment (with reasons) • reasons for drug discontinuation Effectiveness: risk factors for progression of disease, factors for treatment success or failure, respectively • Survival • Clinical symptoms • dyspnea • cough • Lung function • Annual DLCO decline • Annual FVC decline • 6-min walk distance • QoL scores over time • Radiographic course: fibrosis on HRCT • Therapy escalation • Clinical events (exacerbations, hospitalisations) Biomarkers to differentiate inflammatory driven from fibrosis driven progress • CRP • LDH • differential blood cell count (lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes), • BAL differential cell count (as available). Safety • Adverse Events
