First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study follows 4,000 people with interstitial lung disease (including conditions like pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis) to understand how the disease naturally changes over time. Researchers will collect medical data and blood samples, and compare them to a healthy control group. The goal is to better describe the disease's patterns, not to test a new treatment.
