  • Research summary

    Research Summary-
    In patients who have non-IPF ILD, breathing (lung function) will get worse over time and there is increased shortness of breath. Persistent cough may be an important symptom.
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate cough and its impact on quality of life.
    This study aims to evaluate the frequency of cough, its severity and impact on quality of patient lives (as assessed by patients themselves), and to measure coughing fits during day and night within patients with non-IPF ILD. This will help to expand the understanding of the disease and its symptoms.
    This exploratory study does not impact the treatment the participant may receive for your disease.
    We estimate that approximately 20 people will participate in this study in United Kingdom(UK) and up to approximately 120 patients worldwide.
