Tokyo, Jan. 11 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000059984) titled 'Noninvasive Assessment of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Using Right-Ventricular IRT in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis' on Jan. 10.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Nippon Medical School

Condition: Condition - Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To determine whether right ventricular isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) serves as a useful noninvasive marker of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Basic objectives2 - Others

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 20 years-old = 20 years Diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) based on ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT guidelines Transthoracic echocardiography and right heart catheterization performed during the same hospitalization under stable conditions No acute exacerbation, infection, hospitalization, or corticosteroid escalation within the previous 4 to 8 weeks Antifibrotic therapy, if used, must be stable for at least 4 weeks before evaluation Complete hemodynamic data including mPAP, PAWP, and cardiac output Doppler waveforms for IRT and PAAT that are suitable for analysis CPFE cases are excluded (mild emphysema 15 mmHg Interstitial lung diseases other than IPF Chronic thromboembolic disease confirmed by CT pulmonary angiography or ventilation perfusion scanning Atrial fibrillation or significant arrhythmias Acoustic windows inadequate for Doppler evaluation Use of pulmonary hypertension targeted therapy before echocardiography or right heart catheterization Missing essential echocardiographic or hemodynamic data Target Size - 180

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - No longer recruiting Date of protocol fixation - 2015 Year 03 Month 01 Day Date of IRB - 2020 Year 10 Month 01 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2015 Year 04 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2025 Year 11 Month 30 Day
