Summary

This trial is testing a treatment where patients breathe in short bursts of nitric oxide gas. It is aimed at people with lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis or sarcoidosis who need long-term oxygen therapy. The treatment helps improve blood flow in the lungs, making it easier for these patients to breathe.
