NCT ID NCT06644144

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This observational study aims to find early biomarkers that can predict if a person's lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis) will get worse quickly. Researchers will follow 450 adults with various types of interstitial lung disease, including IPF and other fibrotic conditions. Participants will provide blood samples, lung function tests, CT scans, and breath analysis over time. The goal is to better understand who is at risk for rapid decline and to improve personalized treatment.
