Xenon MRI scans to check lung scarring treatment response
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans with a gas you breathe in (xenon) and CT scans to see how well anti-fibrotic treatment is working in people with lung scarring (fibrotic interstitial lung disease). If you have this condition and are planning to start or continue treatment, this study could help doctors understand if the treatment is helping your lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a current diagnosis of fibrotic interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring) from a lung doctor, and you are eligible for anti-fibrotic treatment.
- If you are a woman who can become pregnant, you must use effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test before each imaging scan.
- You must not have any metal implants or devices in your body that cannot be removed, such as pacemakers, metal clips, or artificial joints.
- You must not have severe claustrophobia (fear of small spaces) that would prevent you from having an MRI or CT scan.
- You must be able to perform breathing tests and hold your breath during the scans.

This study uses a special gas called xenon to take pictures of your lungs with MRI, a safe imaging method. It aims to improve lung imaging for future patients, and you may participate if you are generally healthy.
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
This study uses special MRI and CT scans to take very detailed pictures of the lungs in people with mild asthma. The goal is to learn more about how asthma affects the lungs, which could help develop better treatments.
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.
This trial uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to look at how well your lungs work, specifically for people with interstitial lung disease or systemic sclerosis who may have high blood pressure in the lungs. The scan is painless and does not use radiation, and it may help doctors better understand your condition.
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.
