Connect with Fortrea During ERS Congress 2026

Respiratory development continues to evolve as sponsors balance scientific innovation with the operational realities of study execution. ERS Congress 2026 brings together the global respiratory community to discuss the latest advances in respiratory medicine, science, and patient care.

Fortrea's respiratory experts will be attending the congress and are available to discuss development strategies across asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease (ILD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary inflammation, rare respiratory diseases, and other complex respiratory programs. Drawing on extensive experience in respiratory clinical development, our team can share perspectives on patient recruitment and retention, study design, site engagement, decentralized approaches, spirometry and imaging capabilities, and the operational delivery of complex global trials.

Whether you are planning an upcoming respiratory study, evaluating operational strategies, or navigating development challenges, we welcome the opportunity to exchange perspectives during ERS Congress week.
