The possibility of new HPS research and future clinical trials is growing-and we need you to help make sure our community is ready. 🫁

If you are over 18 years old and have HPS types 1 or 4, we need YOU! Send us your most recent pulmonary function test (PFT) results (within the last 2 years). This information will be deidentified and used to make informed decisions about our community for a research trial.

Please send your PFT to [email protected]. You can find your PFTs in your patient portal online or ask your doctor.

No trial is possible without data and we need yours!

If anyone has any questions about this request, please reach out.
