Pulmonary Hypertension Screening in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease for Earlier Detection

Checking for pulmonary hypertension early in lung disease patients.

Phase N/A

We are conducting a study to find better ways to detect *pulmonary hypertension (PH)* early in people with *interstitial lung disease (ILD)*. ILD is a group of lung diseases causing scarring and lung tissue damage. PH is a condition where the blood pressure in the lungs' blood vessels is too high. This study involves two visits: a Screening Visit and Study Visit 1. During these visits, we will do several tests to see if they help in predicting PH. These tests include lung function tests, a walk test, blood tests, and heart checks using imaging and questionnaires. No new drugs will be tested in this study.

  • Study requires 2 short visits for tests and questionnaires.
  • No treatment is involved; we only collect data.
  • Participants should not have certain heart or lung conditions, or be on specific medications.

To join, you must have ILD and at least two signs of PH. You cannot join if you've had certain heart or lung issues recently, or if you're taking specific PH medications. If you have questions, please ask your doctor.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
