This study will evaluate the effectiveness of sildenafil, a medication that increases blood flow to the lungs, at improving breathing function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people with advanced IPF.", 'detailedDescription': "IPF is a disease in which fibrous tissue clogs the lungs. This eventually damages air sacs in the lungs and leads to widespread and permanent scarring of lung tissue. Individuals with IPF may experience breathing difficulties, cough, chest pain, and a decreased exercise capacity. Pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, affects half of all people with IPF. The fibrous tissue that clogs the lungs also blocks blood from flowing through the lungs effectively, reducing the amount of oxygen in the lungs. The fibrous tissue also reduces the lungs' ability to use what oxygen is available. These factors can cause breathing difficulties and may eventually lead to heart disease. Sildenafil is a medication that can increase blood supply to the lungs and reduce the heart's workload. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of sildenafil at improving breathing function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people with advanced IPF.\n\nThis study will enroll people with advanced IPF. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive sildenafil or placebo three times a day for 12 weeks. Study visits will occur at baseline and Weeks 1, 6, and 12. At Week 12, participants will have the option to continue in the study for an additional 12 weeks. All participants who agree to continue in the study will receive sildenafil three times a day for the second 12 weeks. Study visits will occur at Weeks 13, 18, and 24. At all study visits, a physical exam and blood collection will occur. At selected visits, the following study procedures will occur: lung function testing; urine collection; a 6-minute walk test, which will measure the distance walked in a 6-minute period; and questionnaires to assess health status, breathing, and quality of life. Participants will record medication usage and symptoms in a daily diary. Study researchers will review medical records and the Social Security death index 5 years following the end of the study to determine the incidence of death among study participants."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Clinical diagnosis of IPF\n* Diffusing capacity of the lung (DLCO) level less than 35% (adjusted for hemoglobin)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Current enrollment in another investigational study\n* Six-minute walk distance of less than 50 meters at screening or study entry\n* Difference of greater than 15% between the screening and study entry 6-minute walk distance\n* Acute or long-term impairment other than dyspnea (e.g., angina pectoris, intermittent claudication) that limits the ability to comply with the 6-minute walk test or other study requirements\n* Forced Expiratory Volume 1-second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio of less than 0.65 after bronchodilator use\n* Extent of emphysema greater than the extent of fibrotic change (e.g., honeycombing, reticular changes) on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan\n* Acute heart attack within the 6 months prior to study entry\n* Nitrate use\n* Hypersensitivity to sildenafil or any component of the formulation\n* Presence of aortic stenosis (AS)\n* Life-threatening arrhythmia within 1 month of study entry\n* Diabetes mellitus requiring insulin therapy\n* Second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block on electrocardiogram\n* Severe chronic heart failure, defined by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 25%\n* Presence of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS)\n* Hypotension (i.e., systolic blood pressure \\[SBP\\] less than 100 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure \\[DBP\\] less than 50 mm Hg)\n* Uncontrolled systemic hypertension (i.e., SBP greater than 180 mm Hg or DBP greater than 100 mm Hg)\n* Known penile deformities or conditions (e.g., sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia) that may predispose participant to priapism\n* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) greater than three times the upper limit of normal range\n* Kidney impairment (i.e., creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/minute)\n* Current drug or alcohol dependence\n* Retinitis pigmentosa\n* History of vision loss\n* History of nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy\n* Recently initiated pulmonary rehabilitation within 30 days of study entry.
