Scientists probe hidden link between lung disease and high blood pressure in lungs
NCT ID NCT07184671
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will examine tissue and blood samples from 105 adults having lung surgery to understand why some people with chronic lung disease develop pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Researchers will compare three groups: those with lung disease and pulmonary hypertension, those with lung disease only, and healthy controls. The goal is to find biological clues that could lead to better diagnosis or treatments in the future.
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 could identify biomarkers or targets for future treatments for pulmonary hypertension in lung disease patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female over 18 years of age 2. Patient who has received information about the study and has not expressed any objection 3. Patient who is a beneficiary or entitled person under a social security scheme 4. Patient requiring thoracic surgery for an acute or chronic acquired pathology with planned resection of lung parenchyma. 5. Group A: patients on the lung transplant list with chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension\*. Group B: control patients with chronic lung disease without pulmonary hypertension on the lung transplant list or with an indication for lung resection surgery for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Group C: control patients without chronic lung disease or pulmonary hypertension with an indication for lung resection. \*Pulmonary hypertension is defined by a mean resting pulmonary arterial pressure of 20 mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistances \> 2UW and an occlusion pulmonary arterial pressure ≤ 15 mmHg. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Person in exclusion period from another research protocol at the time the no-objection is collected 2. Subjects covered by articles L1121-5 to 1121-8 of the French Public Health Code (minors, adults under guardianship or trusteeship, patients deprived of their liberty, pregnant or breast-feeding women).
