Interstitial lung disease

This registry collects data on lung transplant patients whose donor lungs were preserved and transported using the LUNGguard or BAROguard devices. Researchers track outcomes such as primary graft dysfunction, rejection, survival, ICU and hospital stays, readmissions, and time on …

This Phase 2 trial tests an inhaled medication called mosliciguat in 135 people who have both lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) and high blood pressure in the lungs. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for 16 weeks. The study measure…

This study looks at the long-term safety of an inhaled medication called treprostinil for people with fibrotic lung diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. About 1,850 adults who completed a prior related study will take the drug and be monitored for side effects. The goal i…

This trial tests a smart home system for people with interstitial lung disease, a condition that makes breathing difficult. Participants use home devices to track their health and do exercises, with the goal of improving symptoms and reducing hospital visits. The study compares t…

This study tests an inhaled form of pirfenidone (AP01) in 375 adults with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), a condition where lung scarring worsens over time. Participants receive either a high dose, low dose, or placebo twice daily for 52 weeks, alongside their usual care. T…

This phase 2 trial tests whether tulisokibart can safely slow lung scarring in people with systemic sclerosis and interstitial lung disease. About 154 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces the yearly decline in lung fu…

This phase II trial tests a precise type of radiation called SABR in 39 people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who also have interstitial lung disease (lung scarring). The goal is to see if this treatment can control the cancer while keeping side effects manageable. P…

This study is testing a new tool that uses chest CT scans to help doctors more accurately diagnose different types of pulmonary fibrosis, a lung scarring disease. Researchers will first create the tool by analyzing scans from 300 patients, then test it on 100 additional patients.…

This study tests whether using a portable oxygen concentrator (a lightweight, battery-powered device) during walking or exercise helps people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or COPD feel less breathless and be more active in their daily lives. Twenty-four participants will t…

Many Veterans with heart failure or COPD struggle with breathlessness, fatigue, depression, and anxiety that routine care often misses. This study tests whether a virtual team—a nurse and a social worker—can improve quality of life by helping Veterans manage their most bothersome…

This study tests whether a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-FAPi-46 can light up areas of scarring (fibrosis) in the lungs of people with interstitial lung disease. Participants receive the tracer and undergo a PET/CT scan to see where it collects. The goal is to understand how the…

This study is building a bio-bank of blood samples from people who have had a lung transplant. Researchers will use these samples to study advanced lung diseases and improve transplant care. The goal is to better understand how infections and other factors affect patient outcomes…

This study looks for biological markers in blood and lung samples from people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other interstitial lung diseases. The goal is to find markers that can predict how the disease will progress and to group patients into subtypes. Researchers…

This study looks at lung problems in over 2,000 World Trade Center workers and volunteers. Researchers will review chest CT scans and breathing tests to find signs of airway disease, lung scarring, and cancer. The goal is to better understand how these conditions develop and how …

This study planned to give low-dose chest CT scans to firefighters aged 35 and older to see how many had lung cancer, other cancers, or lung diseases from job-related smoke and chemical exposure. It was withdrawn before any firefighters were enrolled, so no results are available.…
