This study tests how your lungs’ immune cells respond after a controlled exposure to endotoxin. It may help researchers understand and prevent harmful lung inflammation, even though it is a short, research-focused intervention.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–50 - NCT04063501Recruiting
Study of gut microbes during immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial studies how gut bacteria (the microbiome) and the body’s immune signs change over time while you receive PD-1–based immunotherapy for advanced, unresectable non–small cell lung cancer. The goal is to learn which immune and microbial patterns might relate to how well treatment works and how patients respond.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT04722835Recruiting
Study lung immune cells in people at risk for COPD
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT04913311Recruiting
Testing markers to predict lung inflammation after lung cancer treatment
This study looks for early “predictive markers” to tell who is most likely to develop lung inflammation after standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner and tailor care, using additional monitoring during treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05009758Recruiting
Asthma and nasal polyps study to match immune patterns
This study looks at different “immune inflammation patterns” in people with asthma and/or nasal polyps. It may help researchers better tailor future treatments by figuring out which patterns go with which symptoms.
ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT05203328Recruiting
Testing high-flow oxygen during EBUS with monitored sedation
This study looks at whether using high-flow oxygen through the nose during a specific lung procedure (EBUS bronchoscopy) is safe and works well while you receive monitored sedation. If you qualify, it may help improve how breathing is supported during the procedure.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05743582Recruiting
Studying natural immunity in COPD and in healthy adults
This study looks at how the body’s “innate” (first-line) immune system works in people with COPD compared with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand COPD inflammation and how immune responses could be targeted in the future.
EdinburghAges 18–77 - NCT05751447Recruiting
Studying immune cells in suspected sarcoidosis
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs, lymph nodes, and blood to learn more about suspected sarcoidosis. You may benefit by helping researchers better understand the condition and by getting close medical evaluation as part of the study.
StockholmAges 18–90 - NCT06006884Recruiting
Understanding long-term lung effects after COVID-19
This study looks at why some people develop long-term lung problems after COVID-19. It compares people who had severe COVID-19 and were hospitalized to those who had mild infections and recovered at home.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06079970Recruiting
Testing a microscope during lung biopsy
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06105710Recruiting
Bronchoscopy study for asthma and healthy volunteers
This study looks at airway samples from people with asthma and healthy volunteers. It helps researchers understand what causes airway problems and could lead to better treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06105801RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two biopsy methods for lung cancer genetic testing
This study compares two ways to get a larger tissue sample from lymph nodes in the chest after a first small test confirmed cancer. The goal is to see which method provides better material for detailed genetic testing (next generation sequencing) that can guide treatment choices.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06209047RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotics via bronchoscopy for bronchiectasis flare-ups
This study tests if giving antibiotics (levofloxacin or gentamicin) directly into the lungs during a bronchoscopy can help patients with bronchiectasis who are in the hospital with a sudden worsening of symptoms or are on a breathing machine.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06237660Recruiting
Wheeze study for young children
This study looks at young children (ages 1-5) who have had severe wheezing episodes that needed hospital care. It aims to find biomarkers (clues in the body) that could help predict which children might develop asthma later.
LondonAges 1–5 - NCT06475976Recruiting
Identifying lung types in severe BPD in preemies
This study looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–1 year - NCT06511583Recruiting
Bronchoscopy for aspiration pneumonia in the ER
This trial tests if using a thin, flexible scope (bronchoscopy) to suck out fluid and debris from the lungs helps adults with aspiration pneumonia in the emergency room. It is for those who need help clearing their airways due to swallowing problems or pneumonia on imaging.
Florence, Tuscany/ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06576505Recruiting
