How safe is bronchoscopy for ILD patients? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07627594
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 choices.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide clearer safety data to help doctors decide when bronchoscopy is worth the risk for ILD patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new therapy, and results may not apply to all ILD patients.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients ≥18 years old with interstitial lung disease who need to undergo bronchoscopy for diagnostic purposes, at the time of the first diagnosis or during follow-up (included in the work-up of an acute exacerbation). During the study period, individual patients may undergo more than one bronchoscopic procedure (e.g., for initial diagnostic purposes or for subsequent clinical indications such as disease exacerbation). Therefore, each procedure will be considered as a separate observation for safety analysis.
