Lung disease study probes hidden environmental triggers
NCT ID NCT07577115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how things in the environment and at work might affect people with interstitial lung diseases (a group of lung conditions). Researchers will ask 1,000 adults with a new diagnosis about their exposures to things like pollution, chemicals, and dust. The goal is to learn how common these exposures are and how they might impact the disease, which could help doctors better understand and manage these conditions.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Eligible participants will be identified during routine ILD outpatient visits and enrolled after written informed consent. Baseline data collection will occur at the time of enrollment. Diagnostic consistency will be ensured through multidisciplinary discussion (MDD). The contribution of exposure history to diagnostic refinement and additional testing will be systematically recorded. Data will be prospectively collected using a standardised CRF at baseline and every 6 months (±2 months), in line with clinical practice. A structured questionnaire assessing environmental and occupational exposures will be: * Administered at baseline * Re-administered at each follow-up visit Exposure domains will include: * Occupational exposures (dusts, fibres, chemicals) * Domestic exposures (mould, animals, biomass) * Hobbies and recreational exposures * Drug-related exposures Exposure relevance will be evaluated during MDD.
