Summary
This study aims to find genetic and protein markers that could predict when a person with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis might experience a rapid decline in lung function. Researchers will compare these markers with changes in symptoms over time. The study enrolls 500 adults diagnosed with IPF and treated at the Simmons Center. It does not test a new treatment, but seeks to better understand the disease.
