The purpose of this study is to measure and accurately identify the presence and severity of gastroesphageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly called acid reflux, in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients using the Supraglottic Index (SGI).

Researchers are examining whether an investigational medication called buloxibutid can slow down lung scarring and improve breathing for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Volunteers are needed. Learn if you are eligible for the ASPIRE IPF trial

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) currently affects millions of people globally, and current treatments such as pirfenidone or nintedanib are often poorly tolerated in some patients due to frequently associated side effects. Researchers want to know if an investigational medication called BBT-877, either alone or in conjunction with other therapies, may help slow lung function decline.

As part of the BEACON IPF study, researchers are evaluating a new molecule called bexotegrast, which may provide another effective way to treat IPF symptoms.

Are biomarkers in the blood of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) predictive? Researchers understand if biomarkers can help doctors understand how quickly the disease will progress

Our researchers are trying to understand how interstitial lung disease (ILD) develops in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and how it may impact their quality of life.

LCI Testing Possible Tool for Identifying ILD Risks in Scleroderma Patients

Lung clearance testing may give researchers a new tool to predict people with scleroderma who are at risk of developing interstitial lung disease. Volunteers are needed for a one-visit clinical trial.

Our researchers are trying to understand the connection, as well as how to prevent and treat lung disease in RA patients.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), or high blood pressure in the lungs, can often develop in those who have interstitial lung disease (ILD). Treatments for this combination of diseases, called PH-ILD, to try and improve quality of life for people with both conditions are currently being evaluated.

Researchers are studying a new medication called PRA023 that has anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties to determine how well it works against systemic sclerosis (SSc) with interstitial lung disease (ILD).

predicting ILD from hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Anyone with hypersensitivity pneumonitis may qualify for this observational study and help researchers find patterns for predicting ILD.

The purpose of this study is to investigate inherited genetic factors that play a role in the development of familial pulmonary fibrosis and to identify a group of genes that predispose individuals to develop pulmonary fibrosis.

Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF) is a rare lung disease that causes scarring in the lung. Researchers are investigating if an inhaled study treatment can help improve lung function with fewer side effects than current treatments.
