Using a special MRI scan to study lung disease in IPF
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses an advanced MRI technique with a special gas (hyperpolarized xenon-129) to look at lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects your lungs and could lead to improved care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
- You do not use oxygen continuously at home.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can lie still for about 10–15 seconds and are not claustrophobic.
- You have no metal implants or devices (like pacemakers) that are unsafe for MRI.

This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
This trial uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to take detailed images of how blood moves through your lungs. It aims to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand and manage pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs.
This trial uses a special MRI scan (using xenon gas) to see how well the lungs are working in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It aims to improve diagnosis and monitoring of PAH from connective tissue disease or unknown cause.
This study uses a special MRI scan (Xenon gas imaging) to look at how well your lungs and heart are working. It is for people with certain lung conditions, those getting blood transfusions or phlebotomy, or healthy volunteers.
This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a “hyperpolarized” gas to look at how well the lungs are working. It’s likely looking for safe imaging results and clear lung measurements in people without lung disease.
