This study tested a new medicine, GSK3915393, in 158 people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic lung disease that causes scarring and breathing difficulty. The goal was to see if the drug could slow lung function decline compared to a placebo. The trial was termin…

This study tested the drug vixarelimab against a placebo in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). The goal was to see if it could preserve lung function over 52 weeks. The trial was terminated early, …

This study tested new single treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung disease that causes scarring and makes breathing hard. It included 46 adults aged 40 and older with mild to moderate IPF. The main goal was to see if the treatments improved lung function, mea…

This study tested whether adding dupilumab (a drug that reduces allergic reactions) to milk oral immunotherapy (gradually eating small amounts of milk) helps people with cow's milk allergy tolerate more milk with fewer side effects. The trial included 33 people aged 4 to 50 years…

This study tested an experimental drug called HZN-825 in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung disease that causes scarring and makes breathing hard. The trial aimed to see if the drug could slow the decline in lung function over a year. About 153 adults with IP…

This study tested whether hydroxychloroquine could help children with a rare lung condition called interstitial lung disease. About 35 children were planned to take either the drug or a placebo to see if their oxygen levels or breathing improved. The trial was stopped early, so r…

This early-stage study tested the safety of a drug called itacitinib in 8 adults who developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (a type of lung scarring) after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. The goal was to see if the drug could help control the lung disease by b…

This early-phase trial tested the drug itacitinib in 23 people who developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (a type of chronic lung rejection) after a double lung transplant. The goal was to see if itacitinib could safely improve lung function. However, the study was terminate…

This phase 3 trial tested whether a combination inhaler (fluticasone and salmeterol) could improve lung function in children aged 6–17 who had a drop in breathing capacity after a stem cell transplant. The study aimed to prevent bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious lung complicati…

This study tested namilumab, an experimental drug, in 107 people with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis, a condition causing lung inflammation. The trial was randomized and placebo-controlled, but it was terminated early. The goal was to see if namilumab could reduce the need for res…

This study tested the drug nintedanib (Ofev) in 11 people with myositis-related interstitial lung disease, a condition where lung scarring occurs alongside muscle inflammation. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and tolerable when added to standard immune-suppressing treatme…

This study tested whether Acthar gel could improve symptoms and lung function in people with sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation in the lungs. Researchers also checked if a blood marker called CXCL9 could predict how well the treatment works. Only 2 people joined befo…

This study tested an experimental drug called BI 1839100 in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have a chronic cough. Participants took different doses of the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the drug c…

This study tested a special pacifier that plays music or a mother's voice when a baby sucks correctly. It aimed to help premature infants with chronic lung disease learn to feed by mouth more quickly. The trial enrolled 33 babies but was stopped early, so the results are not conc…

This study looked at 88 adults with connective tissue disease-related lung scarring who were prescribed nintedanib. Researchers measured changes in lung function and tracked cough and breathlessness using a questionnaire over 24 months. The goal was to see if improvements in lung…

This study followed 83 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who were starting standard treatments. The goal was to collect information to help develop a digital tool that can spot early signs of pneumonitis/ILD, a serious lung inflammation that can occur as a side effe…

This study aimed to see if a tiny camera on a thin tube (bronchoscopy) could help doctors diagnose diffuse lung diseases without needing a surgical lung biopsy. The camera takes live microscopic images of the air sacs. The study was stopped early, but it involved 38 adults with c…

This study looked at whether using a CPAP machine at night could reduce abnormal acid reflux and lung inflammation in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who also have sleep apnea. Only 7 people enrolled before the study was terminated early. The goal was to measure c…

This study aimed to compare two ways of setting breathing machine pressure (PEEP) in patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal was to see which method better protects the lungs and heart. Only 2 patients were enrolled before the study was stopped, so no meaningful results…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence can detect and classify abnormal lung sounds in people with cystic fibrosis, COPD, or pulmonary fibrosis. Researchers recorded lung sounds with an electronic stethoscope during routine checkups and analyzed them using AI. The goal…
