Gene study for interstitial lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a gene and telomere length in people with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring). It aims to understand if certain genetic factors are linked to the disease. It may help if you have ILD and are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with interstitial lung disease (ILD).
- You do not have emphysema or COPD.

This trial is for adults with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring). It aims to understand the disease better and may help find new ways to treat it.
This study follows people who are being seen for lung scarring (also called ILD) and compares them with family members without lung scarring. It helps researchers better understand how this condition changes over time and what to look for in the future.
This trial is a study database that collects information from adults who have other illnesses that can increase the risk of developing interstitial lung disease (lung scarring). It may help researchers better understand who is at risk and how outcomes change over time.
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.
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 follows people with interstitial lung disease to learn more about how Chinese medicine can help. If you have ILD and are 18 or older, you may be able to join.
