129Xe MRI Cardiopulmonary
The goal of this NIH-sponsored study is to characterize three biomarkers derived from 129Xe gas exchange MRI and to understand how they change in response to interventions.

68Ga-FAPI PET/CT to Detect Ongoing Fibroblast Activity in Post-acute COVID-19
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the role fibroblasts play in the persistent respiratory complaints after a COVID-19 infection. Fibroblasts are involved in tissue remodeling and repair by creating scar-tissue (fibrosis) after tissue damage has occurred. The hypothesis is that this process of fibrosis is ongoing in patients with persistent complaints. To evaluate the roll of fibroblasts a new type of scan is used that is capable of imaging active fibroblasts, a 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan.

99mTc-HFAPI SPECT/CT in Pulmonary Fibrosis
This prospective study will investigate the potential usefulness of 99mTc labeled FAPI SPECT/CT in the diagnosis, treatment response assessment, and follow-up of pulmonary fibrosis.

Abatacept for the Treatment of Common Variable Immunodeficiency With Interstitial Lung Disease
There is no standard of care therapy for patients with granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) seen in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Abatacept has recently looked promising for the treatment of patients with complex CVID. This study is a multi-site, phase II, randomized, blinded/placebo-controlled clinical trial in pediatric and adult subjects to determine the efficacy of abatacept compared to placebo for treatment of subjects with GLILD in the context of CVID.

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of REGEND001 Cell Therapy on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious chronic (long term) disease with injury of lung tissues. REGEND001 is a cell therapy product, made from bronchial basal cells with ability to regenerate lung tissue, is promising to IPF treatment. This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, parallel and placebo-controlled phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of REGEND001 in IPF patients.

A Cohort of Patients With Phenotyped Diffuse Interstitial Lung Disease With Longitudinal Follow-up
The purpose of the study is to conduct a descriptive analysis of the population of patients with an interstitial lung disease received in the pulmonary department of University hospital of Nice (France). Analysis and documentation of clinical forms of the disease, therapeutics used and evolutions.

A Combination of Vemurafenib, Cytarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine in Children With LCH and BRAF V600E Mutation
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease caused by clonal expansion, proliferation, and dissemination of cells that are phenotypically close to Langerhans cells in different tissues and organs. The clinical presentation of LCH varies greatly from one solid bone tumor to multisystem lesion that involves liver, spleen and bone marrow. The basis of LCH is the clonal proliferation of the pathological cells. These cells express CD1a and CD207 markers on their surface and originate from myeloid progenitors. The main event in life circle of these cells is the MEK-ERK cascade mutation. The most common mutation is the substitution...

Adult Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: a National Registry-based Prospective Cohort Study
The long-term outcomes of adult patients with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH), particularly survival, is largely unknown. This is the first prospective study in the field evaluating the long-term outcomes of PLCH patients. This french countrywide registry-based study included a large cohort of PLCH patients followed for a sufficiently long period to address risk factors of long-term outcomes of PLCH patients.

Advancing Prevention of Pulmonary Fibrosis
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.
