Check how respiratory health changes in people without lung problems
This trial enrolls adults who recently had a chest X-ray as part of routine health screening and did not show major abnormal findings, and who do not have significant breathing symptoms. It may help researchers understand changes in respiratory health over time and improve how respiratory disease risk is monitored.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–90 - NCT06601998Recruiting
Heart health after severe pneumonia
This study looks at how heart health changes in people who have recovered from severe pneumonia, including COVID-19. It compares survivors to healthy people and those with heart risk factors.
AlexandroupoliAges 18 years+ - NCT02740868RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing MRI using xenon gas to study lungs
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT06772623RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of telisotuzumab adizutecan plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who haven't received prior therapy for advanced disease and don't have specific gene changes. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (telisotuzumab adizutecan) plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) to see if it helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06128681Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal problems
This study tests a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating problems in the mediastinum (the space between your lungs). It uses a bronchoscopy (a camera through the airway) to take a biopsy and possibly treat the area, all while you are under general anesthesia.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT07339280Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for COPD: symptoms, lungs, and inflammation
This study tests whether taking a probiotic can improve symptoms, lung function, and inflammation in people with COPD. It is for adults with stable COPD who have not had a flare-up or treatment change in the last two months.
