NCT ID NCT04071769
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special MRI scan using inhaled xenon gas can show changes in lung function for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are starting approved treatments. About 34 adults with IPF will have the scan before starting therapy and again at 3, 6, and 12 months. The goal is to see if this imaging method can help doctors better track how well the treatment is working.
