Persistent tachypnoe of infancy, usual

This study tests whether using a portable oxygen concentrator (a lightweight, battery-powered device) during walking or exercise helps people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or COPD feel less breathless and be more active in their daily lives. Twenty-four participants will t…

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 tests whether a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-FAPi-46 can light up areas of scarring (fibrosis) in the lungs of people with interstitial lung disease. Participants receive the tracer and undergo a PET/CT scan to see where it collects. The goal is to understand how the…

This study tests whether low-intensity aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) is safe and effective for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). BFR uses a cuff to partially block blood flow, which may help build muscle with less strain. Thirty participants will t…

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 …
