Microarray Analysis of Gene Expression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh
Summary
This study is investigating the way the lung is damaged in a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. Research studies will be conducted on lung tissue obtained from an open lung biopsy performed by the subject's surgeon. The identification of unique genetic markers of scarred lung may ultimately lead to new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.
