Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–90 - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05727852Enrolling by invitation
Breath and heart tests to study lung disease stiffness
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT04925375RecruitingPhase 2
Abatacept for children with CVID and lung scarring
This Phase 2 trial tests abatacept to improve a specific type of lung disease in children with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). It aims to slow or reduce ongoing lung changes seen on CT scans while they continue their usual immune “replacement” therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 4 years+ - NCT04299945Recruiting
Beetroot juice to boost exercise in fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve exercise performance in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (scarring in the lungs). It may help your body use oxygen better during activity if you meet the study’s safety and lung-function requirements.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT03800017Recruiting
Muscle strength and exercise function in lung scarring
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT01460264Enrolling by invitation
A heart-and-lung health study following adults over time
This study follows adults with heart-and-lung health information over time to understand how these conditions change. It may help researchers find patterns that could guide better care in the future.
LundAges 45–75 - NCT06987266Recruiting
Study of lung and airway disease diagnosis
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and classify lung conditions that affect both the air sacs and airways, such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. By participating, you may help advance medical knowledge and better understand your own condition.
Changsha, HunanAges 40–80 - NCT06615492Recruiting
Lung transplant study: comparing two ECMO methods
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07867730Recruiting
Breathing exercises help people on ventilators with stiff lungs
This study tests two breathing exercises, inspiratory muscle training and positive expiratory pressure, for people in the ICU on a breathing machine. It aims to see if these exercises can improve breathing and recovery for patients with restrictive lung disease.
