Over 2,000 reasons to say Thank You!
SPIROMICS originally enrolled 2,982 participants, for a three-year study of current and former smokers and individuals who had never smoked. As a comprehensive study, we deeply appreciate your contributions and time. We couldn't do this without your help, visiting our clinics, having radiographs taken, performing breathing tests, and letting us collect samples.
Since its original funding, SPIROMICS has expanded participant follow-up with an additional clinical visit and added optional studies to investigate things such as exacerbations of COPD.
Your participation continues to help us generate new best practices in respiratory care and understand the differences between individuals when it comes to lung health and COPD.
Our ultimate goal is to discover targeted approaches to COPD treatment and prevention, to help save and improve lives around the world. We couldn't do this without you!
