INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE

This study tested an inhaled drug called treprostinil in people with high blood pressure in their lungs caused by scarring lung disease. Researchers wanted to understand how the drug helps during exercise and affects quality of life after three months of use. The study involved 2…

This study tested whether an inhaled medication called treprostinil could help people with sarcoidosis who have two related lung problems: scarring (interstitial lung disease) and high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). The goal was to see if this targeted, inh…

This completed Phase 3 trial tested whether adding intravenous cyclophosphamide to standard prednisone treatment could better stabilize or improve lung function in people with scleroderma-related lung scarring. The study involved 40 adults whose lung function had recently worsene…

This study tested whether an inhaled medication called treprostinil could help slow the decline of lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious scarring lung disease. About 600 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the active drug or…

This study tested whether a 'lung boost' exercise device could help people with interstitial lung disease (ILD), a condition that scars the lungs. Researchers wanted to see if using the device improved breathing tests, reduced severe fatigue, and helped patients walk farther. The…

This study tested whether a supervised 10-week aerobic exercise program (like treadmill walking) is safe and helpful for people with pulmonary hypertension, a serious lung condition that causes severe shortness of breath. Researchers compared people who did exercise plus educatio…

This study aimed to understand if a hiatal hernia, where part of the stomach pushes into the chest, might cause very early lung injury before any lung disease is diagnosed. Researchers compared 14 adults with a hiatal hernia to those without, looking for signs of stomach fluid in…
