Analysis of Specimens From Individuals With Pulmonary Fibrosis
Recruiting
The etiology of pulmonary fibrosis is unknown. Analyses of blood, genomic DNA, and specimens procured by bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, lung transplantation, clinically-indicated extra-pulmonary biopsies, or post-mortem examination from individuals with this disorder may contribute to our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis. The purpose of this protocol is to procure and analyze blood, genomic DNA, and specimens by bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, lung transplantation, extra-p... Read More

Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease
Recruiting
This study is designed to evaluate the genetics involved in the development of lung disease by surveying genes involved in the process of breathing and examining the genes in lung cells of patients with lung disease. The study will focus on defining the distribution of abnormal genes responsible for processes directly involved in different diseases affecting the lungs of patients and healthy volunteers. Optional CT Sub-study The standard CT scan will be compared to the low dose radiation CT s... Read More

Advancing Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis
Recruiting
This study plans to learn more about pulmonary fibrosis and how it develops. We want to determine if the disease can be detected early, before the lung is permanently scarred. This study will enroll participants who are not currently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, but who have family members with pulmonary fibrosis. Because there is an increased risk within affected families, this cohort will allow us to learn how pulmonary fibrosis develops, and how the lungs change over time.

A Study in People With Pulmonary Fibrosis to Monitor Cough With a Wearable Device
Recruiting
This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older who have pulmonary fibrosis with or without a known cause (or other forms of pulmonary fibrosis). The purpose of this study is to better understand coughing in people with pulmonary fibrosis. To do this, a wearable cough monitor called Strados Remote Electronic Stethoscope Platform (RESP) is used. This device will measure how often and how forceful coughing is in people with pulmonary fibrosis. All participants in the study get the device. I... Read More

Genetic Polymorphisms in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Recruiting
The purposes of this study are: to determine if there are specific genetic traits that might explain why patients have developed pulmonary fibrosis; to determine if specific genetic traits account for differing patterns of inflammation and scar tissue that has formed in the patient's lungs.

FAPI PET for Lung Fibrosis
Recruiting
This is a prospective exploratory biodistribution study in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this research study is to determine where and to which degree the FAPI tracer (68Ga-FAPI-46) accumulates in normal and fibrotic lung tissues of patients with interstitial lung disease. The study will include patients with interstitial lung disease who have or will initiate a new ILD medication OR will undergo tissue biopsy or surgery of the lung. The study will include 30 p...

Oxygen Savings With Administered Oxygen and High Flow Ambient Air At Rest
Recruiting
This study is meant to compare the amount of oxygen required for hypoxemia relief between current standard of care (oxygen only) and oxygen with the addition of high flow air for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) patients during rest. Subjects will be titrated from 0 L/min until they maintain 95% SpO2 for each of the following delivery methods: Pulses of pure oxygen (control) Constant high flow air with pulses of pure... Read More

BIO 300 Oral Suspension in Previously Hospitalized Long COVID Patients
Recruiting
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, two-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BIO 300 Oral Suspension (BIO 300) as a therapy to improve lung function in patients that were hospitalized for severe COVID-19-related illness and continue to experience post-acute respiratory complications associated with Long-COVID after discharge. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive BIO 300 or placebo.

Imaging of Pathologic Fibrosis Using 68Ga-FAP-2286
Recruiting
This is a single arm prospective pilot trial that evaluates the ability of a novel imaging agent (68Ga-FAP-2286) to identify pathologic fibrosis in the setting of hepatic, cardiac and pulmonary fibrosis. FAP-2286 is a peptide that potently and selectively binds to Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP). FAP is a transmembrane protein expressed on fibroblasts and has been shown to have higher expression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cirrhosis, and cardiac fibrosis.
