PULMONARY FIBROSIS

This study aims to determine the best way to use a heart-lung machine (called ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. Researchers will compare using the machine for every patient versus only using it when problems arise during surgery. The goal is to see which approach helps patien…

This study is testing whether a home monitoring program can replace half of the regular hospital visits for people with pulmonary fibrosis. 220 participants will be randomly assigned to either continue standard hospital care or use a home kit with weekly breathing tests, symptom …

This early-stage study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new PET imaging agent called [68Ga]CBP8. The goal is to see if this special scan can detect and measure scar tissue (collagen) buildup in the lungs of people with conditions like pulmonary fibrosis or lung cancer…

This study is testing a new type of PET/CT scan to see if it can better detect and measure areas of scarring (fibrosis) and tumors in the body. It will involve 30 participants, including patients with various diseases and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if this imaging met…

This study aims to understand how genetic factors contribute to the development of various lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis. Researchers will enroll 3,500 participants, both with and without lung conditions, to examine their genes and compa…

This study aims to understand if specific inherited traits in a person's DNA make them more likely to develop pulmonary fibrosis, a serious disease that causes scarring in the lungs. Researchers will collect blood samples from up to 2,000 adults who have been diagnosed with the c…

This study is creating a large collection of health information and biological samples from people with various scarring lung diseases. Researchers will use this 'biobank' to look for patterns, risk factors, and potential targets for future treatments. The goal is to better under…

This study aims to understand what causes pulmonary fibrosis, a serious disease that scars the lungs. Researchers will collect and examine lung tissue from patients who are receiving a lung transplant, both with and without the disease. By comparing these tissues at a cellular le…
