Welcome to the Other Lungs and Breathing Studies Page
Are you the parent of a boy between the ages of 6-17 years old who has been diagnosed with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy? If so, your child may be able to participate in a research study to see if simple breathing tests can help determine how well your child can clear their airways of mucus. Compensation provided.
If your child has Alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency (ATD) and liver disease, he or she may be able to participate in a research study to find out if the drug carbamazepine (Tegretol®) can help to prevent or treat liver disease in people with ATD. Participants receive carbamazepine or a placebo for one year. Travel expenses compensated.
