Non-transplant-related bronchiolitis obliterans

This trial tests whether a digital rehabilitation programme called I-IMPACT can be a practical alternative to traditional centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation for adults with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The study will compare the two approaches, focusing on feasibility—such…

This study will test if a smart pill bottle cap, called FORTISKAP™, helps people with serious lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, and pulmonary hypertension take their oral medications more consistently. About 100 participants will either use the smart cap or rece…

Researchers at Mayo Clinic are testing an investigational radioactive tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46 to see how it distributes in the lungs of people with interstitial lung disease. About 10 participants with a clinical diagnosis of ILD and lung abnormalities on a recent CT scan rece…

Researchers are testing a noninvasive MRI technique that uses inhaled hyperpolarized xenon gas to measure lung function in adults with interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and systemic sclerosis. The study includes about 51 participants, including healthy volunteers…

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) program that guides slow, controlled breathing and arm exercises can help people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) manage symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue. Participants will either use a VR headset or follow printed instr…

This study tests whether a supervised Clinical Pilates program can improve physical function, breathing, and quality of life in 58 adults with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Participants are randomly assigned to either Pilates sessions plus standard care or standard care alone.…

Interstitial lung diseases cause lung scarring and stiffness, making it hard to breathe. This study will test whether an 8-week pulmonary rehabilitation program—including walking, cycling, and strength exercises—can improve diaphragm function, exercise ability, and quality of lif…

People with interstitial lung disease (ILD) can suddenly get much worse, but it is hard to tell if the cause is a lung flare-up or a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). This observational study will follow 70 adults with ILD who come to the hospital with worsening breat…

This study will track 427 adults with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who need a bronchoscopy as part of their care. Researchers want to see how often complications happen within 30 days after the procedure. The goal is to better understand the risks so doctors can make safer cho…

This study will use a procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to collect fluid from the lungs of 66 adults with suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD). The fluid will be analyzed to identify specific inflammatory cells, which may help doctors distinguish between differen…
