Recruiting studies near Boston
- 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06817590RecruitingPhase 1
Nucleoside therapy for telomere disorders
This trial tests a nucleoside therapy (dC/dT) for people with telomere biology disorders, which cause premature aging and problems like low blood counts, lung or liver issues. The goal is to see if the treatment can help manage these symptoms.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–70 - NCT03535545RecruitingPhase 1
PET-MRI imaging test in lung cancer and lung disease
This Phase 1 study tests a radioactive imaging agent to help doctors see disease activity in the lungs using PET/MRI scans. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung cancer, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung transplant–related lung problems, or certain medication-related lung inflammation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06532071RecruitingPhase 2
Advanced MRI imaging for pulmonary fibrosis
This study tests whether advanced MRI scans can better detect and track lung scarring in people with certain types of pulmonary fibrosis. It may help doctors understand how well your treatment is working, without extra radiation from CT scans.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06238622RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term nerandomilast for pulmonary fibrosis follow-up
This trial offers long-term treatment with nerandomilast for people with pulmonary fibrosis who already completed an earlier nerandomilast study. It aims to see how safe and effective the drug is over a longer period.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 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 - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT06262282Enrolling by invitation
Phage therapy for stubborn NTM infection in cystic fibrosis
This trial tests whether a special virus therapy (phage) can help clear stubborn NTM lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis who have been on antibiotics for over a year without success. Participants will continue their antibiotics while receiving the phages.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 years+ - NCT06654752Recruiting
Simpler treatment for lung flare-ups in kids with CF
This study tests a streamlined approach to managing sudden lung symptoms (pulmonary exacerbations) in children with cystic fibrosis. It aims to see if a simpler treatment plan works as well as standard care, which could mean less time in the hospital and fewer disruptions to daily life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 3–18 - NCT06967805RecruitingPhase 2
Study of MTX-463 for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial tests an experimental drug called MTX-463 for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It aims to see if targeting a protein called WISP1 can slow lung scarring and help you breathe better.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07652658RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AZD8965 for people with IPF
This trial tests a new drug called AZD8965 for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). It aims to see if the drug can help people with IPF either on current treatments or not on standard therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT05548283RecruitingPhase 4
Standard IV antibiotic timing for cystic fibrosis lung flare-ups
This study standardizes how IV aminoglycoside antibiotics are given during a 14-day treatment for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung flare-ups. It may help make treatment more consistent and easier to manage for people who need IV antibiotics.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06304207Recruiting
Study comparing remote vs in-person exercise for lung disease
This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 40 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.

What taking part in a pulmonary fibrosis 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.
