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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 6 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+ - NCT07671911RecruitingPhase 3
Cough relief for pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests a new extended-release medicine, nalbuphine, to reduce chronic coughing in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a lung disease that scars the lungs). It may help make cough less frequent and less bothersome.
DuBois, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07869147RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ORJ-001 for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests a new medicine, ORJ-001, for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung condition that causes scarring. The goal is to see if it can help slow the disease and improve breathing.
DuBois, PennsylvaniaAges 40 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.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT03500731RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant for lung and blood failure
This Phase 1/2 study tests a special lung-and-bone-marrow transplant approach for people with severe lung disease and bone marrow failure (low blood counts). The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and whether it can improve outcomes when standard long-term immune-suppressing medicines are a poor fit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT06603246RecruitingPhase 1
Study of inhaled GDC-6988 for mucus lung diseases
This study tests an inhaled medicine (GDC-6988) to see if it is safe and helps clear mucus from the lungs in people with mucus-related lung diseases like chronic bronchitis, COPD, or bronchiectasis. You may qualify if your lung function is fairly stable and you produce daily mucus.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 3–18 - NCT07312734Recruiting
Testing new ways to find lung germs in CF
This study tests a new method to detect bacteria in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) by analyzing mucus samples. It aims to improve how we diagnose and treat lung infections.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 16 years+ - NCT06262282Enrolling by invitation
Phage therapy for stubborn NTM infection in cystic fibrosis

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.
