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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT01571700Enrolling by invitation
Study breathing-heart timing differences in pulmonary hypertension
This study looks at timing mismatches (“dysynchrony”) in the heart and lungs in people with pulmonary hypertension. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and how the timing affects heart function.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT01460264Enrolling by invitation
A heart-and-lung health study following adults over time
This study follows adults with heart-and-lung health information over time to understand how these conditions change. It may help researchers find patterns that could guide better care in the future.
LundAges 45–75 - NCT00258570Recruiting
Study genetics in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients
This study looks at genetic differences in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a lung scarring condition with no known cause). It may help researchers understand what influences the disease and guide future treatment options.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00373841Recruiting
Study of genetic and protein changes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This study looks at genetic (DNA) and protein changes over time in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, to better understand how the disease progresses. Your participation may help researchers learn patterns that could guide future care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06894095Recruiting
Heart and blood vessel imaging study for adults with coronary CT
