Interstitial lung disease specific to adulthood

This study looks at whether a combination of two antibiotics (azithromycin and doxycycline) can reduce bacteria linked to sarcoidosis and lower inflammation. About 40 adults with biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis and active inflammation on a PET scan will receive the antibiotics or a …

This pilot study tests whether home-based or video-supervised exercise programs are acceptable and helpful for people with chronic lung diseases like IPF, sarcoidosis, bronchiectasis, asthma, and other interstitial lung diseases. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to on…

This study looks for biological markers in blood and lung samples from people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other interstitial lung diseases. The goal is to find markers that can predict how the disease will progress and to group patients into subtypes. Researchers…

This study looks at how things in the environment and at work might affect people with interstitial lung diseases (a group of lung conditions). Researchers will ask 1,000 adults with a new diagnosis about their exposures to things like pollution, chemicals, and dust. The goal is …

This study looks at how well people with sarcoidosis take their prescribed medicines and whether that affects their disease. Researchers will follow 150 adults in Maryland and D.C. for one year, tracking lung function, symptoms, and hospital visits. The goal is to find ways to he…

This study aims to see if a simple, non-invasive breathing test can accurately measure the acidity (pH) in the airways, which is often abnormal in lung diseases. Researchers will compare results from this breath test with standard methods in 150 healthy volunteers and people with…

This study watches 200 people with lung, gut, or hormone diseases over time using special brain scans (PET). It aims to see how these diseases change brain activity and whether those changes can predict tumor return, spread, or survival. No new treatment is tested—just observatio…
