Study of lung changes in early rheumatoid arthritis
This study looks at lung health in people with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It may help doctors understand how RA affects the lungs soon after diagnosis and guide better care.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–90 - NCT00807482Recruiting
Study of lung disease causes in primary ciliary dyskinesia
This study looks at how primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD—a lifelong problem with tiny lung “sweepers”) affects the lungs. You may be able to join if you strongly seem to have PCD based on symptoms, or if you’re a healthy person with a close family member who has confirmed PCD.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT00258583Recruiting
ILD patient registry at UPMC Simmons Center
This study is a registry that collects information from adults with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who are seeking care at the UPMC Simmons Center. It helps the center learn about ILD and improve future treatment planning.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07482475Recruiting
COPD study for people getting lung cancer screening
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 50–80 - NCT07051707Recruiting
Study of a new lung treatment for people with COPD
This trial tests a device called dNerva that targets nerves in the lungs to help people with COPD breathe easier. It is designed for those who have moderate to severe COPD and are not currently smoking.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT07426718Recruiting
Breath test for airway inflammation in lung diseases and healthy people
This study is testing a simple breath test (Inflammacheck device) to see if it can measure airway inflammation in people with various lung conditions, including lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases using your breath.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06349174Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests whether placing tiny valves in the airways can help people with severe COPD breathe easier. It is for people who still have trouble breathing despite quitting smoking and completing pulmonary rehab.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT00047996Enrolling by invitation
Blood Donation Study for Blood Vessel Research
