Abatacept for children with CVID and lung scarring
This Phase 2 trial tests abatacept to improve a specific type of lung disease in children with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). It aims to slow or reduce ongoing lung changes seen on CT scans while they continue their usual immune “replacement” therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 4 years+ - NCT03800017Recruiting
Muscle strength and exercise function in lung scarring
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT04299945Recruiting
Beetroot juice to boost exercise in fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve exercise performance in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (scarring in the lungs). It may help your body use oxygen better during activity if you meet the study’s safety and lung-function requirements.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT05638269Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in people with serious long-term illness
This study looks at the types of gut bacteria in people living in certain parts of China who have serious long-term (chronic) illnesses. The goal is to better understand how gut bacteria differ and may help doctors in the future tailor care.
Chaoyang, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05947422Recruiting
CT scan test for lung scarring assessment
This trial tests how well a CT scan and lung function tests can measure interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is long-term scarring or inflammation in the lungs. It may help doctors use these images and tests more accurately to track ILD.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–90 - NCT06046547Recruiting
Palliative care learning for lung rehab patients
This trial tests adding palliative care education to pulmonary rehabilitation for people with COPD or ILD and their caregivers. It aims to see if this helps improve symptom management and quality of life.
AveiroAges 18 years+ - NCT06948942Recruiting
Exercise ability in interstitial lung disease
This study compares exercise capacity, muscle oxygen levels, and physical activity between people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how ILD affects daily movement and overall fitness.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01460264Enrolling by invitation
A heart-and-lung health study following adults over time
This study follows adults with heart-and-lung health information over time to understand how these conditions change. It may help researchers find patterns that could guide better care in the future.
LundAges 45–75 - NCT05727852Enrolling by invitation
Breath and heart tests to study lung disease stiffness
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
