Ages Eligible for Study: | 20 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
This study plans to enroll approximately 500 patients with IPF/SSc-ILD/PF-ILD who newly initiate nintedanib per physicians' discretion within 6 months before participating in the study.
IPF cohort:
- Diagnosed with IPF during the prior 6 months before study enrollment, based on the 2018 ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT guideline
- Patient ≥ 40 years of age
- Newly initiating nintedanib within 6 months prior to participating in the study
- Providing written informed consent prior to participating in the study
- Having further follow-up possibility with participating physician during the planned study period
- Ability to read and write in local language
SSc-ILD cohort:
- Diagnosed with SSc-ILD during the prior 6 months before study enrollment, based on 2013 ACR/EULAR
- Patient ≥ 20 years of age
- Newly initiating nintedanib OR not receiving nintedanib per physician's discretion (For patients who diagnosed with SSc-ILD but are not treated with nintedanib on physician's discretion, they will apply the same inclusion criteria, with baseline characteristics collected only) within 6 months prior to participating in the study
- Providing written informed consent prior to participating in the study
- Having further follow-up possibility with participating physician during the planned study period
- Ability to read and write in local language
PF-ILD cohort:
-
Diagnosed with PF-ILD (PF-ILD patients will be enrolled only after nintedanib acquires the label approval from TFDA) during the prior 6 months before study enrollment. The definition of PF-ILD diagnosis is as follows:
--Patients who have ILD with a progressive phenotype, but are not diagnosed with IPF, per physician's judgment. The pathophysiology in these patients is characterized by self-sustaining fibrosis and a deterioration in lung function over time, with worsening respiratory symptoms, resistance to immune-modulatory therapies, and ultimately early mortality.
- Patient ≥ 20 years of age
- Newly initiating nintedanib OR not receiving nintedanib per physician's discretion (For patients who diagnosed with PF-ILD but are not treated with nintedanib on physician's discretion, they will apply the same inclusion criteria, with baseline characteristics collected only) within 6 months prior to participating in the study
- Providing written informed consent prior to participating in the study
- Having further follow-up possibility with participating physician during the planned study period
- Ability to read and write in local language
Exclusion Criteria:
- Lung transplantation expected within the next 6 months.
--Included in ongoing interventional trials
