First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects lung tissue from patients awaiting a lung transplant to learn more about pulmonary fibrosis at the cellular level. Researchers will examine cells and proteins linked to the disease. About 90 participants will provide tissue samples, but no experimental treatment is given. The goal is to better understand what causes the disease, not to test a new therapy.
