In this study, we want to find ways to help people who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) and their families. We want to hear about your experiences and thoughts on a new program to help you adjust to life after leaving the ICU.
Do you have Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency? Do you want to participate in research? You may be able to participate in a research project to be contacted for future research studies. Compensation provided.
Have you been diagnosed with a lung infection due to M. Avium Complex (MAC)? Are considering beginning treatment for this infection? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study helping us to learn more about the effectiveness and side effects of the two most common antibiotic regimens used to treat this disease. There are no additional visits required for the study and you may be able to participate remotely!
Have you been diagnosed with pleural fluid, and have been referred for a pleural fluid drainage? If so, you may be able to participate in a research registry to help us learn more about lung cancer.
Are you currently diagnosed with an M. Avium Complex (MAC) infection of your lungs? Have the treatments you received not improved your condition? If so, you may be eligible for a research study to learn if a new medication (Epetraborole) is safe and effective in treating this disease. Monetary compensation will be provided to all participants.
Do you have known or suspected lung and/or head and neck cancer? Are you scheduled for a tumor biopsy? If so, you may be able to participate in a research registry aimed at learning more about lung and head/neck cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn how patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) clear mucus based on their genetic mutation. We also want to learn if albuterol can help patients clear mucus from their airways better.
We study how the immune system protects against viruses and bacteria without causing excessive harm to organs like the lungs, heart, and kidneys. We need a small amount of blood to study how immune cells ("white blood cells") turn on important proteins when they sense a bacteria or virus nearby.
Do you have Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Are you a generally healthy person? If so, you may able to participate in a research study to find out more about the things that affect lung function and the risk of future lung disease.
