Better tests for interstitial lung disease
This UK study is researching simple blood and breath tests to spot and track interstitial lung disease (ILD). Researchers want to see if these tests can predict how the illness will progress. The study is open to adults diagnosed with ILD and active pigeon fanciers who carry a higher lung risk.

Breathlessness Perceptions Within Respiratory Diseases
This study looks at why people with lung conditions feel breathless. We will check how breathing, feelings, and everyday activities affect breathlessness. The goal is to understand breathlessness better to find new ways to help people feel more comfortable and healthy.

Study of the Prevalence of Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency/Niemann Pick AB and B Disease in Patients With Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease
This study looks for a rare genetic condition called Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD) in people with a common lung problem. By testing blood samples, researchers hope to make it easier to find ASMD earlier, especially since a new treatment is now available.

Better Tests- Improving Diagnostic Accuracy and Prognostication in Interstitial Lung Diseases
This study aims to find better ways to diagnose and predict how Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) will progress. Researchers are looking at blood and breath tests in people exposed to pigeons and those already living with ILD to find simpler, more accurate methods.

Interstitial Lung Disease Exacerbations Study
This study looks at how Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) suddenly worsens, known as 'exacerbations'. We're reviewing patient records to understand who gets them, how they're treated, and what works best to help those in the UK with this condition.
