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+ - 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 - NCT03478826Recruiting
Donate blood samples for a lung disease research biobank
This study builds a “biobank,” a storage of blood and related samples, from people with lung interstitial lung diseases or other lung scarring diseases. Your samples help researchers study these conditions and improve future care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03297775Recruiting
Studying rheumatoid arthritis treatment risks for lung scarring
This trial is for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are at risk for developing interstitial lung disease, which is scarring in the lungs. It aims to better understand why this happens and how to help prevent or manage it.

Use of chest CT scans from WTC Health Plan participants
This study creates a research archive of chest CT scan images from people enrolled in the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Plan program at Mount Sinai. It may help doctors and researchers better understand and track chest health over time using existing scan images.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01915511Recruiting
Long-term registry for new or worsening lung scarring
This study collects health information over time from people with newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or other lung scarring diseases that are getting worse. It’s meant to better understand disease patterns and outcomes, which may help doctors plan future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT00470327Recruiting
Study of how interstitial lung disease naturally changes
This study looks at how interstitial lung disease (lung scarring) typically progresses over time. It may help researchers understand what to expect and what changes to watch for.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07867730Recruiting
Breathing exercises help people on ventilators with stiff lungs
This study tests two breathing exercises, inspiratory muscle training and positive expiratory pressure, for people in the ICU on a breathing machine. It aims to see if these exercises can improve breathing and recovery for patients with restrictive lung disease.
IslamabadAges 18–60 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05895409Recruiting
Study risk factors in progressive lung scarring
This study looks at what factors contribute to worsening lung scarring seen on scans in people with certain lung diseases. Results may help doctors better understand and predict who will worsen over time.
Jinan, ShandongAges 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 - 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+ - NCT07572383RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging Study of Immunosuppression for Progressive Lung Fibrosis
This study uses advanced imaging to see how immunosuppressive medications (like mycophenolate or prednisone) affect lung scarring in patients with certain types of lung fibrosis. You would have imaging scans and breathing tests to track changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07484243Recruiting
Chinese and Western medicine for rheumatoid arthritis
This study combines traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see how well this approach works for people with hard-to-treat RA or RA-related lung disease.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06815185Recruiting
Counseling help for people with interstitial lung disease
This study tests a counseling program to help people with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring and make breathing harder) with rehabilitation and support. It may help you cope better and stay active.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07320846Recruiting
Exercise and gene activity in rheumatoid arthritis
This trial tests whether exercise training can affect gene activity (lncRNA) in rheumatoid arthritis patients with lung involvement. It may show how exercise helps manage the disease.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07269262Recruiting
Support program for PPF patients and their caregivers
This study tests a support program for people with progressive pulmonary fibrosis and their caregivers. It focuses on helping both the patient and the person who helps care for them.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919380RecruitingPhase 1
Mist from stem cell byproducts for autoimmune lung disease
This study tests a new type of treatment using a mist (nebulized) made from stem cell byproducts to see if it can safely help people with a rare autoimmune lung disease. It is for patients with anti-MDA5 positive dermatomyositis who have a fast-progressing lung condition.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for interstitial lung disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 193 recruiting interstitial lung disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a interstitial lung disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a interstitial lung disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
