PRospective phenotypIng and Multi-omic Endotyping of Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (NCT06855329)

PRIME-PPF: PRospective phenotypIng and Multi-omic Endotyping of Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: University of Massachusetts, Worcester

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a prospective, observational cohort study. Participants with non-idiopatic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease (ILD) will be followed for 24 months to systematically collect clinical, imaging, and biospecimen data. The primary objective is to optimize progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) classification and establish PPF incidence for key ILD subtypes. Additional exploratory objectives are to 1) Prospectively validate a novel PPF classifier and assess performance durability over time, and 2) Determine whether multi-dimensional PPF prediction outperforms component approaches.
