Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies blood and tissue samples from people with COPD, IPF, or lung cancer to find markers that can help diagnose and predict these conditions. It aims to discover why some lung diseases progress to cancer.
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
This study looks at how the immune system works and how well diseases like asthma, COPD, and others are controlled. You may join if you have one of these conditions or if you are a healthy volunteer or smoker without lung disease.
This trial is studying people with chronic lung conditions, like COPD or asthma, to find treatable traits. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to better understand what makes these diseases different and how to personalize treatment.
This study is testing new diagnostic methods for people with COPD, IPF, or combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. It involves collecting blood and saliva samples and using monitoring devices to better understand these conditions.
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
