First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study aims to find genetic and protein markers that could predict when a person with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) might experience a rapid decline in lung function. Researchers will collect and analyze samples from 500 adults diagnosed with IPF and compare them to changes in symptoms over time. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is to better understand and forecast disease progression.
