An objective of JIPS Registry is to examine disease behavior of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), considering classification, background, and diagnostic methods based on American Thoracic Society (ATS)/ European Respiratory Society(ERS) /Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS)/ Latin American Thoracic Association (ALAT) guidelines for diagnosis and the ATS/ERS classification of 2002 and 2013.
JIPS Registry is a multi-site, non-interventional, prospective observation study of patients with newly diagnosed IIPs in Japan. At least 600 patients will be registered for 16 months at approximately 80 sites in Japan. Primary research question is to determine the natural history of each category of IIPs at registration, patient background and diagnosis methods will be considered. Furthermore, the present treatment patterns and disease behavior (CT and forced vital capacity (FVC) changes, as well as changes in interstitial pneumonia markers, etc.) will also be investigated.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
867
Data on current practice patterns for diagnosis of IIPs
Describe the frequency of surgical lung biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage.
Time frame: 3-4 years
Prevalence of each categorized IIPs
Investigate the prevalence of each categorized IIPs by using a recent guideline
Time frame: 3-4 years
Natural history of each categorized IIPs
Describe the natural history of each categorized IIPs, focusing on CT findings, FVC changes, medications, and causes of death.
Time frame: 3-4 years
Progression-free survival by category of IIPs
Time frame: 3-6 years
Hospital admission for acute exacerbations of IIPs
To evaluate incidences, therapy and prognosis of acute respiratory deterioration in patients with IIPs
Time frame: 3-6 years
Mean change of patient-reported outcome (Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire, COPD assessment test, and Dyspnoea-12) every12 months from baseline
Time frame: 3-4 years
Quantitative evaluation of CT findings
Time frame: 3-6 years
Validation of second multidisciplinary discussion
Multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) held by independent central reviewers will be conducted twice at the time of registration and final observation using questionnaire. Concordance rate for diagnosis and disease behavior in each case between the time of registration and final observation will be evaluated.
