Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT07867184Enrolling by invitation
Firefighter lung health study
This study looks at how firefighting affects your lungs over time. By tracking your health and exposures, researchers hope to find ways to prevent lung problems in firefighters.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00077909Recruiting
Study of Lung Proteins in Patients With Pneumonia
This research study examines proteins in fluid collected from your lungs during a breathing tube procedure (bronchoscopy) to better understand pneumonia. By studying these proteins, researchers hope to improve how doctors diagnose and treat lung infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT00001532Recruiting
How Genes Affect Lung Disease Development
This research study examines how genetic factors contribute to various lung diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Researchers want to understand why some people develop lung disease and how genetics plays a role, which may help improve treatment in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT01730092Recruiting
Study of blood and imaging biomarkers in pulmonary artery hypertension
This study tracks natural changes in “biomarkers” (measurable signals in blood) and imaging findings in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspected PAH. It also includes healthy people for comparison, helping researchers understand what these signals mean over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00001352Recruiting
Understanding Why Some People Get Fungal Infections
This study looks at genetic reasons why some people are susceptible to a serious fungal infection called cryptococcosis. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform genetic testing to understand the immune system differences that make certain individuals more vulnerable to this infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–80 - NCT02803242Recruiting
Patient research network for people with lung symptoms
This trial enrolls adults to help build a patient-powered research network for chronic lung disease. If you join, you’ll likely be asked to complete surveys or provide information to help researchers learn how symptoms and health outcomes change over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05521789RecruitingPhase 4
Erector spinae block for thoracic surgery pain relief
This trial tests a specific pain-block injection (called an erector spinae block) to help with pain during thoracic surgery that removes part of the lung. You might benefit from better pain control and possibly fewer pain medicines, depending on what the study finds.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07118306Recruiting
COPD flare-up follow-up study
This study is for people with COPD who go to the emergency room for a moderate or severe flare-up. It looks at how they are doing after their visit and whether their current inhaler treatment is working well.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 40 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.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 21 years+ - NCT07230288RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ABBV-142 for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial is testing a new antibody drug, ABBV-142, to see if it can reduce disease activity in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help if your IPF was diagnosed within the last 7 years and you meet certain health criteria.

What taking part in a pulmonary disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
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.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
