Predicting blood clots in the lungs for people with interstitial lung disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at people with interstitial lung disease (a lung scarring condition) who have new or worsening symptoms that might be caused by a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Doctors want to find better ways to predict which patients actually have a clot, which could lead to earlier and more accurate treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with interstitial lung disease (ILD), often with a CT scan of your chest.
- You are having new or worsening breathing troubles, low oxygen, chest pain, fainting, or other signs that could mean a blood clot in your lungs.
- Your doctor has ordered a CT scan of your chest (called CTPA) to check for blood clots, as part of your regular care.

This study looks at why some people with interstitial lung disease develop blood clots while in the hospital. It may help doctors find ways to prevent these clots in the future.
This study looks at whether a new way of grouping patients with blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) can better predict their outcomes. If you join, your health will be tracked for 30 days to see how well this new system works.
This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound measurement called pulmonary artery pressure can help doctors predict if a patient with shortness of breath has a blood clot in the lungs. It compares current pressure readings with past readings to see if changes might signal a clot.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at imaging scans from people who might have a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). It aims to help doctors better diagnose and treat this condition.
This study looks back at patients in the ICU who had a CT scan that unexpectedly found a blood clot in their lungs. The goal is to see how this discovery changed their treatment and what complications they may have had.
