Non-transplant-related bronchiolitis obliterans

This trial tests whether a 6-week program of high-intensity interval training using an arm ergometer can improve oxygen consumption, muscle oxygenation, and physical activity in people with interstitial lung disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the supervise…

This study tested whether adding rituximab (a drug that calms certain immune cells) to standard mycophenolate mofetil treatment helps people with interstitial lung disease whose lungs are not responding to initial therapy. 122 adults with various ILD types received either rituxim…

This study evaluates an artificial intelligence (AI) software that analyzes chest X-rays to detect signs of interstitial lung disease (ILD), a group of conditions that scar the lungs. Researchers are checking how often the AI's flags for lung abnormalities turn out to be real dis…

This study looked at three ways to take a small sample of lung tissue (biopsy) in 60 adults with interstitial lung diseases. The goal was to find which method gives the most accurate diagnosis and causes the fewest side effects. The methods tested were forceps biopsy, cryobiopsy …

This trial investigates whether adding high-flow nasal oxygen during exercise training can improve endurance and quality of life for people with chronic fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). Participants undergo a 4-week pulmonary rehabilitation program, receiving either high…

This study tested a special MRI technique using a harmless gas to see how well it can show changes in the lungs of people with interstitial lung disease. Researchers worked with 46 volunteers to find the best way to use this scan. The goal is to create a standard method that doct…

This pilot study compares two ways to perform a lung biopsy for people with undetermined interstitial lung disease. One method uses a breathing tube and deep anesthesia (standard), while the other uses only mild sedation and numbing medicine. The goal is to see if the gentler met…

This study follows 1500 adults with interstitial lung disease to understand how the condition changes over time. Researchers will track symptoms, lung function, and treatments used. The goal is to build a detailed picture of the disease's course and improve future care.

This study looked at ways to screen for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) in people who already have interstitial lung disease. The goal was to find this complication earlier. 314 adults with various types of lung disease took part in the screening tests.

This study looked at whether certain genes make people who are regularly around pigeons more likely to develop a type of lung disease called hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Researchers analyzed the DNA of 475 pigeon fanciers to find genetic markers linked to lung scarring. The goal…

This study looked at 86 ICU patients with a lung condition called interstitial syndrome. Researchers compared a lung ultrasound score with a standard blood oxygen test to see if the ultrasound could reliably measure how severe the condition was. They repeated both tests at the st…

This study tested a special MRI technique called Ultra Short Echo Time (UTE) to see if it can take clearer pictures of the lungs than traditional MRI. Researchers collected images and health information from people with and without lung disease to help doctors better understand l…
