Pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow failure, telomere-related

This study is developing a new way to treat pulmonary fibrosis, a condition where the lungs become scarred and stiff. The approach uses tiny particles called liposomes, coated with hyaluronic acid, to deliver drugs directly to the cells that cause scarring. The research is being …

This early-stage trial tests a single infusion of EXG34217 in 12 people aged 12 and older who have bone marrow failure due to telomere biology disorders. The main goal is to check safety and tolerability, while also looking at changes in telomere length and blood cell counts. Bec…

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 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 explores whether a special MRI scan using xenon gas can spot early signs of lung scarring and heart strain in people with progressive lung fibrosis. About 30 adults already on anti-fibrotic medication will be scanned and followed over time. The goal is to see if this i…

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…
