Lung Diseases clinical trials at UCSF

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Lung diseases harm airways or lung tissue and make breathing difficult. UCSF is involved in a large, multi-center study that will enroll roughly 4,000 adults aged 25 to 35 who do not have severe lung disease. UCSF is tracking breathing measures and health data over several years.

  • American Lung Association (ALA) Lung Health Cohort

    open to eligible people ages 25-35

    The ALA-LHC is a longitudinal, multi-center cohort study that will enroll approximately 4,000 young adults between the ages of 25-35 who do not have severe lung disease. The overarching objective of the ALA-LHC is to establish a national cohort of young adults for the purpose of defining lung health and developing targets to intercept chronic lung disease at its earliest stages.

  • Lung Cancer Screening CT for Firefighters

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Firefighters are at increased risk for cancer due to exposure to carcinogenic substances. Current lung cancer screening guidelines are predominantly based on smoking history and do not take into account high risk occupational exposures such as firefighting. This study aims to provide chest computed tomography (CT) scans to firefighters to determine the prevalence of lung cancer, other cancers detectable on CT chest, and lung diseases associated with increased cancer risk.
