New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04016181Enrolling by invitation
Study to categorize lung fibrosis types at a clinic
This study enrolls people who have interstitial lung disease and are seen at the Edinburgh lung fibrosis clinic. It aims to sort different underlying “types” of lung fibrosis so doctors can better understand and potentially guide care.
Ages 18–99 - NCT06577753Recruiting
Chinese medicine study for interstitial lung disease
This study follows people with interstitial lung disease to learn more about how Chinese medicine can help. If you have ILD and are 18 or older, you may be able to join.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06716606RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety of belimumab for lung disease in scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of belimumab for people with lung scarring caused by scleroderma or other connective tissue diseases. It is for patients who already completed a one-year study with belimumab and were not considered treatment failures.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06855329Recruiting
Studying progressive lung scarring (non-IPF)
This study is for people with a specific type of lung scarring (not IPF) to understand how the disease progresses. Researchers will collect detailed health information, imaging, and blood samples to learn more about the condition.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–80 - NCT06328777RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a new immune cell therapy for systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)
This trial tests a new treatment called CABA-201, which uses your own immune cells to target and calm the overactive immune system causing scleroderma. It aims to reduce symptoms and slow or stop the disease's progression.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–75 - NCT03630211RecruitingPhase 2
Study of stem cell transplant for systemic sclerosis in youth
This Phase 2 study tests whether an “autologous” stem cell transplant—using your own stem cells—can reduce systemic sclerosis disease activity. It is mainly for children, teens, and young adults whose disease did not improve despite standard medicines.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 8–60 - NCT07761377Recruiting
Using AI to spot lung scarring on CT scans
This study tests whether an AI tool can correctly find lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis) on CT scans as well as doctors do. The results could lead to faster, more consistent detection of this condition.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT07301697Recruiting
Cryobiopsy safety study in bronchial endoscopy
This trial is studying a procedure called cryobiopsy, which uses extreme cold to take tissue samples from the lungs. It aims to see how safe and effective it is for diagnosing conditions like interstitial lung disease or lung cancer, especially when other tests haven't worked.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05984394Recruiting
Study of immune cells in new antisynthetase syndrome with lung disease
This study looks at special immune cells (T cells) in people newly diagnosed with antisynthetase syndrome that has affected their lungs. It aims to understand how these cells are involved in the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05838183Recruiting
Test treatment in people with lung disease and sleep apnea
This trial is studying how a treatment may work for adults who have interstitial lung disease or obstructive sleep apnea. It likely involves sleep testing so the team can measure breathing and sleep patterns.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT06203249Recruiting
Exploring lung health and immune system in a rare muscle disease
This trial looks at how the immune system and tiny organisms in the lungs may affect a rare condition called anti-MDA5 positive dermatomyositis, which can cause serious lung disease. It may help doctors understand why some patients get worse quickly and how to better treat them.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07484243Recruiting
