Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A case-control study to investigate whether job exposures are an under-recognized cause of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using an interview to collect information about previous jobs and a blood test to investigate genetic susceptibility.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a scarring lung disease. It damages the air sacs that allow oxygen to be transferred into the blood and transported to vital organs. These changes make people with IPF cough and feel short of breath. It not known what causes the damage. People who get IPF are usually older than 40Íž it's a very serious illness that cannot be cured and gets worse over time. Statistics show that IPF is becoming more common in the UK but it's not known why. It can be difficult for doctors to tell if someone has IPF or another disease called asbestosis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Case

Males with an incident diagnosis of IPF made between the 1st of February 2017 and the 5th of October 2019.

Computer-assisted telephone interview

Intervention Type OTHER

Occupational history

Genetic analysis

Intervention Type GENETIC

To include analysis of known susceptibility markers

Controls

Males with an incident hospital outpatient attendance between the 1st of February 2017 and the 5th of October 2019 who do not have a diagnosis of IPF. At each participating centre a control clinic is randomly selected from all control clinics that the research team is able to recruit from; this clinic is the source clinic for controls for the duration of the study.
