Lung Diseases clinical trials at UCSF
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Lung diseases are illnesses that impact breathing. At UCSF, researchers are enrolling 4,000 young adults to track how their healthy lungs change. This study focuses on people aged 25 to 35 to gather important data about lung function.
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.
