Testing different treatable traits in lung disease and controls
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at “treatable traits” (specific features of lung disease) across people with chronic airflow problems, including cystic fibrosis, and compares them with healthy volunteers. You may be asked to do several breathing and exercise tests to see how well different traits can be measured and how they relate to symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have a prior diagnosis of a chronic airways disease (or be a healthy control with no lung disease)
- Be a non-smoker or ex-smoker, ages 18 to 65
- For cystic fibrosis: either on triple CFTR medicines or on no CFTR medicines
- Be able to read, understand, and sign written consent in English
- Be able to safely do breathing tests, exercise tests, and a DEXA scan (bone density scan)

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and classify lung conditions that affect both the air sacs and airways, such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. By participating, you may help advance medical knowledge and better understand your own condition.
This study compares the lungs of people with airway disease to healthy volunteers to understand inflammation and lung function. You may be eligible if you have airway disease or are a healthy adult.
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 looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
This study looks at how where your body stores fat may be linked to changes in metabolism and lung function over time in people with cystic fibrosis. It also compares results with healthy people similar in age, sex, and body size to understand the differences better.
