The state of Pennsylvania currently has 15 active clinical trials seeking participants for Pulmonary Fibrosis research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Hershey and Allentown.
Genetic Polymorphisms in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
NCT00258570
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.

Genomic and Proteomic Analysis of Disease Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
NCT00373841
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to identify genetic and biologic markers that may predict the loss of lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The studies will compare genetic and biologic markers of samples to changes in symptoms. The ultimate goal is to predict if or when patients are likely to experience a rapid decline in lung function due to disease progression.
