About this study

To develop a repository of blood samples from patients with ILD to support future studies into the development of such biomarkers. Patients with pneumonia and healthy patients will also be recruited as a control group.

Read the detailed description

The proposed biospecimen repository would be derived from patients diagnosed with ILD. This is to include 500 patients in the repository, with each patient contributing one blood sample. Patients with pneumonia and healthy patients will also be recruited as a control group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ILDOther

    100 cc of blood collected from a total of 250 ILD patients. This includes IPF (n=100), fibrotic NSIP (n=50), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia (n=20), sarcoidosis(n=50), progressive rheumatoid lung disease (n=10) and scleroderma lung disease (n=20)), 10 patients with other fibrosing disease (fibrosing mediastinitis), and 50 patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis

  • HealthyOther

    100 cc of blood collected from a total of 25 healthy volunteers in order to compare with the ILD participants.

  • PneumoniaOther

    100 cc of blood collected from a total of 100 participants with a diagnosis of pneumonia in order to compare with the ILD participants.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Future Disease Management

    Reliable biomarkers to help guide treatment in ILD would be a major step forward in the management of this disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interstitial Lung Disease, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Michael Stachowitz (507-284-4862, Stachowitz.Michael@mayo.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Future Disease Management (time frame: 1 visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
