Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT07201922RecruitingPhase 3
Can a new pill help slow lung changes in people with family risk?
This trial tests a new drug called nerandomilast to see if it can slow down early lung changes in people who have a close family member with a type of lung scarring called pulmonary fibrosis. You may join if you are 40 or older, have a parent, sibling, or child with this condition, and have early signs of lung changes on a CT scan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06911632Recruiting
AI-assisted check for pulmonary hypertension in interstitial lung disease
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors decide if you should be tested for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), which can be a complication of interstitial lung disease. If the tool suggests you might have it, you may get an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and a right heart catheterization (a test to measure pressure in the heart) to find out for sure.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07175038RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new pill for pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a new pill, ROC-101, for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It aims to see if the pill can improve symptoms and daily function.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06933758Recruiting
Temple Health Chest Lung Screening Study
This study looks at how a hospital program can help people who are at risk for lung cancer get the proper screening and follow-up care. You may be eligible if you are a Temple patient and have had a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT07179380RecruitingPhase 3
A study of an inhaled drug for lung disease with high blood pressure
This trial tests an inhaled medicine (TPIP) for people with both lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) and high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). It aims to see if the drug helps improve exercise ability and symptoms.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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+ - NCT05746039RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing semaglutide for advanced lung disease
This study checks whether semaglutide is safe and feasible for people with advanced lung diseases and higher body weight. It may help by testing a structured treatment approach, but it includes several health and safety limits.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06572384RecruitingPhase 3
Belimumab for lung scarring in autoimmune disease
This study tests whether a drug called belimumab can help people with lung scarring caused by certain autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus). If you have active lung disease despite standard therapy, this trial may be an option.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06806592RecruitingPhase 3
Testing nerandomilast for lung scarring from rheumatic disease
This study tests a new medicine called nerandomilast to see if it can help people with lung scarring caused by autoimmune rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma. The goal is to slow down lung damage and improve breathing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227376Recruiting
Collecting lung sounds with Eko digital devices
This study uses a digital stethoscope to record lung sounds from patients with and without breathing problems. It aims to help doctors better identify different types of lung sounds.

PH-ILD patient registry: tracking real-world outcomes
This study tracks people with both lung scarring and high blood pressure in the lungs (Group 3 PH-ILD) to better understand the disease and how treatments like Tyvaso work in real life. It may help you and your doctor make more informed decisions about your care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05878717RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Belimumab for adults with scleroderma lung scarring
This Phase 2/3 study tests whether belimumab can improve outcomes and safety in adults with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) that has caused lung scarring. It may help by reducing active or worsening immune-driven disease in the lungs.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06033196RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab to prevent lung transplant rejection
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab (brand name Actemra) to see if it helps prevent rejection after lung transplantation. Tocilizumab targets part of the immune system that may otherwise attack the new lungs.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–75 - NCT03683186Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term study of ralinepag for pulmonary hypertension
This study follows people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to see how safe and effective ralinepag is over the long term. It may help your care team understand what to expect from continued treatment and monitoring.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT05943535RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing treprostinil to slow progressive lung scarring
This Phase 3 trial tests whether inhaled treprostinil can slow progression of lung fibrosis (scarring) that keeps getting worse despite standard care. It also looks at safety, because inhaled medicine can cause side effects and needs careful monitoring.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04905693Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Extension inhaled treprostinil study for fibrotic lung disease
This is an add-on (extension) study testing whether continuing inhaled treprostinil can help people with fibrotic lung disease who took part in earlier related studies. It mainly continues treatment and follow-up for eligible participants.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT04543461Recruiting
Lung health study for young adults in the U.S.
This study follows young adults to learn about lung health and risk factors. It may help researchers better understand how breathing symptoms and exposures affect future lung outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 25–35 - NCT04930289Enrolling by invitation
Lung transplant registry for better donor lung preservation
This study builds a worldwide database to track and improve how donor lungs are preserved before transplant. Your information may help doctors choose and manage donor lungs more effectively.

You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
