NCT ID NCT03035097

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study builds a research database and blood sample bank for veterans and contractors who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and have lung problems. Researchers will collect symptom and exposure information and store blood for future analysis. The goal is to better understand deployment-related lung disease, not to test a new treatment.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help researchers better understand lung problems in veterans and point toward future treatments.
What could go wrong
