First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at whether people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have problems in their small airways before starting medication. Researchers will use a simple breathing test called nitrogen washout to check for these issues. About 100 adults with IPF will take part, and their results will be compared to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how IPF affects the lungs, not to test a new treatment.
