HOPE-IPF Trial Summary
This trial will test if patients with IPF can improve their exercise endurance, breathlessness, and quality of life by breathing 60% oxygen during an 8-week exercise training program.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 19 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are stable, can walk at least 50 meters in six minutes, and have an oxygen saturation of 92% or higher. They must be on nintedanib treatment and suitable for a lung rehab program. Those with severe lung function loss, recent high-dose steroids use, other significant diseases affecting exercise capacity, or contraindications to nintedanib cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if IPF patients taking nintedanib benefit from breathing 60% oxygen during an eight-week exercise program compared to standard care. It aims to see if the high-oxygen approach improves their ability to exercise, eases breathlessness, and enhances life quality.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing an oxygen mask and possible respiratory effects due to high levels of oxygen such as dry or irritated airways.

Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: 60% OxgyenExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
While participants are exercising, they will be breathing 60% oxygen through a mask.
Group II: Standard of CarePlacebo Group1 Intervention
While participants are exercising, they will be breathing air through a mask that will be titrated to keep oxygen saturation at least 88%, allowing a maximum inhaled oxygen percentage of 40%.
