New study seeks to unlock secrets of lung disease resilience
NCT ID NCT05584722
First seen Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study aims to understand why some people develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a severe lung disease, while others with genetic risks do not. Researchers will follow 150 participants, including those with PAH, healthy carriers of a PAH-related gene mutation, and healthy individuals, for up to 32 months. By tracking quality of life, exercise ability, and heart function, they hope to create molecular profiles that predict disease susceptibility and resilience, potentially leading to new treatments.
