Advancing Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis (NCT04564183)
Advancing Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis - A Cohort Study of Preclinical Pulmonary Fibrosis
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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.
