IIM-associated ILD carries poor prognosis. Particular subtypes of IIM such as anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 positive (anti-MDA5+) dermatomyositis with ILD are most commonly associated with rapidly progressive-interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). RP-ILD is defined as worsening dyspnoea on exertion, hypoxaemia, and presence of newly emerging or expanding ground glass opacities on radiographic or computed topography of chest imaging excluding drug or infectious cause. Particularly, patients with anti-MDA5+ dermatomyositis often have RP-ILD with high mortality of over 60% in the first six months of diagnosis. The mainstay of treatment is immunosuppression though there has been no highly efficacious therapy proven to date. Therefore, the overall goal is to improve patient outcomes in IIM-associated RP-ILD including those with anti-MDA5+ dermatomyositis through the development of better treatment regimens. The objective of this research study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined immunosuppressive regime in patients with IIM-associated RP-ILD. The investigators hypothesize that the simultaneous inhibition of particular targets in the innate and adaptive immune system will improve efficacy and patient survival. The approach involves a combination of four immunosuppressive medications targeting different pathways implicated in IIM associated ILD. If successful, this study could contribute significantly to improving clinical outcomes for patients with IIM-associated RP-ILD.",[30,64],"Myositis","2026-08-14",{"date":38,"type":41},{"date":68,"type":41},"2024-12-26",{"date":70,"type":22},"2029-07-01",{"name":72,"class":73},"Singapore General Hospital","OTHER",{"id":75,"slug":76,"hasResults":12,"nctId":77,"briefTitle":78,"officialTitle":79,"acronym":80,"eligibilityCriteria":81,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":82,"enrollmentInfo":83,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":61,"phases":4,"briefSummary":85,"conditions":86,"keywords":88,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":65,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":93,"startDateStruct":95,"completionDateStruct":97,"leadSponsor":99,"locationsCount":101},"100581824","prospective-phenotyping-and-multi-omic-endotyping-of-progressive-pulmonary-fibrosis-100581824","NCT06855329","PRospective phenotypIng and Multi-omic Endotyping of Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis","PRIME-PPF: PRospective phenotypIng and Multi-omic Endotyping of Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis","PRIME-PPF","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18-80 years with a diagnosis of non-IPF fibrosing ILD due to CTD-ILD, fHP, or non-IPF IIP based on central review\n* Diagnosis of Fibrotic ILD as determined by site investigator.\n* Willingness to comply with study procedures and follow-up.\n* Provide written informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Site diagnosis of fibrosing ILD \\>5 years prior to Visit 1 (Screening and Baseline Visit).\n* Minimal ILD, defined as reticular opacities and\u002For ground-glass opacities without architectural distortion (traction bronchiolectasis\u002Fbronchiectasis or honeycombing) affecting \\\u003C 5% of the lung on centralized evaluation of HRCT at Visit 1 (Screening and Baseline Visit).

Many people with fibrotic ILD and COPD only have low oxygen levels when they are walking or exercising. Oxygen that is only used for walking or exercise is called ambulatory oxygen therapy (AOT).

Reduced exercise capacity is a key symptom experienced by patients. In previous research the investigators identified that an interval-based exercise programme led to significant improvements in exercise capacity (Wallis et al Antioxidants. 2023).\n\nAn unexpected finding was that in patients with IPF, exercise led to a reduction in blood nitrite concentrations an observation the investigators did not see in non-affected individuals. Research has identified that nitrite concentrations are expected to increase after exercise and the size of this increase is related to an individual's exercise capacity. There is also evidence from healthy individuals and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that nitrate supplementation (a source of nitrite) improves response to exercise training. However, in both these groups an exercise-induced fall in blood nitrite concentrations has not been observed. Hence our finding of an exercise-induced fall in blood nitrite levels in IPF patients suggest that they may be especially sensitive to supplementation with nitrate, commercially available as nitrate-rich beetroot juice (NRBJ).\n\nThis current study investigates this in a pilot placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised, cross-over study of NRBJ on exercise capacity in IPF patients.\n\nAims In patients with IPF\n\n* Quantify the effect of nitrate supplementation on exercise capacity\n* Determine the effect of nitrate supplementation on blood markers of nitric oxide production\u002Fmetabolism.\n* Determine the effect of nitrate supplementation on forearm blood flow.
