Summary
This study will evaluate the effect of CPAP therapy on esophageal pH and lung inflammation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and sleep apnea.
Description
Participants in this study will have an overnight sleep study done while wearing a 24 hour pH monitor in the esophagus. If the participant has sleep apnea, he or she will be randomly assigned to receive either CPAP treatment or no CPAP treatment. After 4-8 weeks, the participant will have another overnight sleep study with 24 hour pH monitoring. Blood will also be collected at both time points and again after 6 months to measure biomarkers that are related to lung inflammation.
