Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) & GERD
Trial Objectives
The purpose of this study is to measure and accurately identify the presence and severity of gastroesphageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly called acid reflux, in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients using the Supraglottic Index (SGI). The study also will determine if stomach reflux or abnormal swallowing are associated with the progression of IPF.
