Breathing MRI using xenon gas to study lungs
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 8 or older and can follow the study instructions
- You have never smoked (or you have no smoking history)
- If you have cystic fibrosis or asthma: you have a confirmed diagnosis and your symptoms are at your usual baseline control level
- Your breathing test (FEV1) must be greater than 40% of what’s expected
- You can hold your breath for up to 20 seconds or less
- You can do lung breathing tests that are consistent (repeated results close to each other)

This Phase 1 study tests a lung scan that uses a special gas and MRI to measure how well your lungs work. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung disease to see how well the scan works and how safe it is.
This study uses MRI scanning to better understand how the lungs differ in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and in people with non-CF bronchiectasis. The results may help doctors understand disease changes over time and guide future care, especially for children and teens.
This study uses MRI scans to monitor lung health in teens and young adults with cystic fibrosis who are taking Trikafta. It aims to find better ways to track how the disease affects the lungs over time.
This study uses a special MRI technique (19F MRI) to look at how well your lungs are working and where any blockages are. The goal is to understand airway problems in cystic fibrosis better.
This study uses a special gas called xenon to take pictures of your lungs with MRI, a safe imaging method. It aims to improve lung imaging for future patients, and you may participate if you are generally healthy.
This study uses a special MRI scan with a harmless gas to take pictures of your lungs. It may help doctors see how well your lungs are working, which could guide future treatments.
