Respiratory Muscle Strength in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Respiratory muscle strength, dyspnea perception, physical activity and quality of life measurements will be performed and groups will be compared in two groups consisting of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis referred to pulmonary rehabilitation clinic and healthy volunteers in similar age range.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients at Risk for Interstitial Lung Disease
The overall goal of this study is to define the phenotype of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The investigators hypothesize that there are common elements between other forms of ILD such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sub-clinical RA-ILD that places individuals at risk for the development of lung disease. This is not a treatment study. It is a protocol designed to enroll individuals affected by RA and explore associated lung disease so that the investigators can better understand the clinical phenotype and genetic and molecular endotypes of this disease.

Rituximab in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis
Phase III, comparative, multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blind and superiority research, comparing rituximab-based regimen with conventional therapeutic strategy for the induction of remission in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). Patients with newly diagnosed or relapsing EGPA will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive: - Experimental therapeutic strategy based on the use of rituximab (experimental group) - Conventional therapeutic strategy based on Five-Factor Score (FFS)-assessed disease severity (comparative group)

Rituximab Versus Cyclophosphamide in Connective Tissue Disease-ILD
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is characterised by inflammation and scarring of the lung and is the leading cause of death in patients with systemic sclerosis, and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in many other connective tissue diseases (CTDs) such as polymyositis/dermatomyositis and mixed connective tissue disease. When ILD is extensive and/or progressive, immunosuppressive medication is often required to stabilize lung disease and alleviate symptoms. Current standard care for CTD associated ILD is extrapolated from studies performed in individuals with systemic sclerosis and comprises low dose corticosteroids and...

Role of Genetics in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
The purpose of this study is to investigate inherited genetic factors that play a role in the development of familial pulmonary fibrosis and to identify a group of genes that predispose individuals to develop pulmonary fibrosis. Finding the genes that cause pulmonary fibrosis is the first step at developing better methods for early diagnosis and improved treatment for pulmonary fibrosis. The overall hypothesis is that inherited genetic factors predispose individuals to develop pulmonary fibrosis.

Role of Stem Cell Therapy in Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis
Currently, the application status of MSCs as treatment modalities in IPF is still in its infancy and remains exploratory. Although a number of safety and efficacy clinical trials of MSCs as therapeutic options in immune-mediated and cardiac diseases have already been published with tantalizing results, to our disappointment, pulmonary and critical care medicine have traditionally lagged behind other therapeutic and research fields including hematology, gastroenterology and cardiology in translational studies of the use of reparative cells

Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Treprostinil in Adult PH With ILD Including CPFE
This is a multicenter, randomized (1:1 inhaled treprostinil: placebo), double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) including combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The study will include about 314 patients at approximately 120 clinical trial centers. The treatment phase of the study will last approximately 16 weeks. Patients who complete all required assessments will also be eligible to enter an open-label, extension study (RIN-PH-202).

Safety and Tolerability Study in Subjects With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 6-month study followed by a 6 month open-label extension phase to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MN-001 in moderate to severe IPF patients. MN-001 750 mg or matching placebo will be orally administered twice daily over a 26 week period in subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of IPF per the ATS )American Thoracic Society) 2011 Guidelines. Approximately 15 subjects are planned to be enrolled. This study will consist of two treatment arms, MN-001 and matching placebo. Randomization will occur in a 2:1 ratio (MN-001: placebo). Eligible subjects will consist of males and...

Safety of Anti-Depressant for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (SAD-COPD)
Objective: Determine whether treatment of perceived stress, anxiety, and depression with anti-depressant therapy improves dyspnea scores, 6-minute walk (6MW) distance and quality of life (QoL) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease) undergoing pulmonary rehab. The study is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the effect of an SSRI on 6MW, dyspnea scores, and QoL in COPD and ILD patients undergoing pulmonary rehab. Thirty subjects that carry an ICD-9 code diagnosis of COPD and/or ILD and CES-D (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression)...
