Study of lung illness for people who served in Southwest Asia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is building a research database and stored samples from people who served in the Southwest Asia wars. It may help researchers learn what causes lung problems in veterans and how to better diagnose or treat them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have served in the Southwest Asia wars
- You may need to provide information about your health for the database
- You may be asked to provide samples for the biorepository (biobank)

This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
This study collects lung fluid and tissue (and sometimes nasal or breath samples) to store for future research. It aims to understand lung and airway biology, and you may help by donating samples during a short procedure.
This study collects medical data and samples from people with newly diagnosed bronchial cancer to learn more about the disease. You may be able to join if you have not yet started treatment for this cancer.
This study collects leftover lung tissue or biopsy samples from surgeries or bronchoscopies to create a biobank for future research. It may help researchers understand lung diseases better, but you won't receive any direct treatment from participating.
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.
This study wants to learn more about the experiences of veterans with lung cancer. If you are receiving cancer treatment or recently finished it, you may be able to join.
