Study Details

Tracking Health in People with Pulmonary Fibrosis and Other Lung Diseases

(IRB#: IRB_00195821)

This study is a registry for people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Disease. These conditions cause scarring and lung damage. A registry study does not test a treatment. Instead, it collects health information and blood samples over time to help researchers learn more about these conditions and support future research. Participating in this study involves completing surveys, interviews, and blood draws every 6 months over a 6-year period. The study will also collect information from medical records. The goal of the registry is to better understand Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Disease to improve treatment and care.
