Could a simple phlegm test quiet the debilitating cough of lung disease?

NCT ID NCT05086432

Summary

This study is testing if analyzing a patient's phlegm (sputum) helps doctors choose more effective treatments to reduce chronic cough in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). About 120 adults with ILD and a daily cough will be randomly assigned to either receive treatment based on their phlegm test results or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this personalized approach improves cough frequency and quality of life over 16 weeks.
