Major study tracks lung disease progression in over 1,400 patients
NCT ID NCT07560189
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 1,423 adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for two years to learn how the disease progresses naturally. Researchers will track events like sudden worsening, hospital stays, and deaths. The goal is to better understand IPF patterns, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
Adult patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis enrolled in a longitudinal observational cohort at Assiut University between 2022 and 2026. Participants undergo standardized baseline evaluation and structured follow-up to document disease progression, acute exacerbations, hospitalization, and mortality. The cohort represents real-world clinical practice and includes patients eligible for longitudinal assessment without intervention assignment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged ≥18 years. * Diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis based on clinical and radiological assessment according to standard guidelines. * Availability of baseline clinical, functional, and radiological evaluation. * Enrollment within the Assiut University IPF Research Program. * Ability to undergo longitudinal follow-up and outcome assessment. Exclusion Criteria: * Interstitial lung disease other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis * Alternative diagnosis inconsistent with IPF based on clinical or radiological evaluation * Incomplete baseline data preventing cohort classification * Refusal to participate or inability to complete follow-up * End-stage disease at baseline requiring invasive mechanical ventilation or terminal care * Active malignancy or severe comorbidity expected to dominate short-term prognosis * Long-term systemic immunosuppressive therapy not aligned with standard IPF management
