Recruiting studies
- NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06152744Recruiting
Testing ECMO lung function at high altitude
This study looks at how well the ECMO machine works in high-altitude areas. It tests the oxygen exchange in the machine to help improve care for patients at high elevations.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07339644Recruiting
Lung-Sparing Radiation Guided by Breathing Scans
This study tests a new way to plan radiation for lung tumors. It uses a breathing-guided scan to map healthy and unhealthy parts of the lungs, so radiation can avoid working lung tissue. The goal is to see if this approach spares more healthy lung while still treating the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18–85 - NCT04676828Recruiting
SPECT-guided radiation to avoid healthy lung in lung cancer
This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06530056Recruiting
Back mobilization for posture and lung function
This trial studies a special hands-on technique called costovertebral mobilization to see if it can improve rounded upper back posture and lung function in non-smokers with early kyphosis. It may help you breathe easier and stand taller.
IslamabadAges 20–40 - NCT06919757Recruiting
Early Lung Health in Very Premature Infants
This study compares the early lung development of very premature babies who had growth problems in the womb to those who did not. The goal is to understand how growth in the womb affects lung health after birth.
RomaAges Any age - NCT04611243Recruiting
Follow-up study after hospital recovery from COVID-19
This study checks how well your lungs work and how much exercise you can do after you’ve been discharged from the hospital for COVID-19. It also measures blood (serology) results to understand recovery and possible immune response changes over time.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06848751Recruiting
Tubeless lung surgery for patients with weak lungs
This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
Jinan, ShandongAges 14–85 - NCT06245343Recruiting
Breathing exercise study for lung cancer survivors
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (functional inspiratory muscle training) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. If you are between 18 and 80, have completed your lung cancer treatment, and are now in remission, this program may improve your breathing and strength.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–80 - NCT07227623Recruiting
Digital health program to help lung cancer survivors get active
This trial tests a digital health tool to help lung cancer patients improve their physical function and wellness during and after treatment. It is designed for people with early-stage lung cancer who are starting treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06455800Recruiting
Severe lung disease in childhood
This study looks at severe lung disease in children. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
OdenseAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06159660Recruiting
Lung Imaging to Reduce Radiation Side Effects
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer by using a special imaging technique (functional lung imaging) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy lung tissue while still targeting the cancer.
St Leonards, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07436598Recruiting
3D modeling before lung surgery to predict lung function
This trial uses 3D models from your CT scan to help doctors predict how well your lungs will work after surgery. It is for people having a certain type of lung surgery (VATS) to remove part of a lung.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT04849806Recruiting
Testing whether heart nerve signals predict COPD symptoms
This study looks at “sympathetic nerve activity” (signals from the nervous system that affect the heart) in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal is to see whether these measurements can help predict what happens to people with COPD.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT07193719RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized breathing support for kids after heart surgery
This study tests a personalized breathing technique to improve lung function and heart performance in children who have had heart surgery or are on ECMO. The goal is to find the best way to open up the lungs safely.
BerlinAges birth–18 years - NCT07534033RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotic LR607 for newly diagnosed lung cancer
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement (LR607) can help patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer—a common type of lung cancer. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that may help your immune system fight cancer alongside standard treatments.
GuangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07451899Recruiting
TB lung damage and walking ability in teens
This study looks at how well the lungs work and how far adolescents with TB-related lung damage can walk in 6 minutes. It helps doctors understand how TB affects breathing and daily activity over time.
Bandung, West JavaAges 10–18 - NCT04616313Recruiting
MRI and breathing tests in people who vape
This study uses a special lung scan (MRI) and breathing tests to understand how vaping affects lung structure and function. It may help researchers learn what early lung changes happen after starting vaping, even if you don’t feel sick.
London, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT06106646Recruiting
Vitamin C and smoking in pregnancy: long-term lung health follow-up
This study is checking on the long-term lung health of children whose mothers took vitamin C or a placebo during pregnancy and either smoked or did not smoke. It's a follow-up to see if vitamin C might have lasting benefits for their breathing.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 6–16 - 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 - NCT06065215Recruiting
Early-life MRI to Predict Breathing Problems in Extremely Preterm Infants
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the lungs develop in babies born very early (before 29 weeks of pregnancy). The goal is to see if early MRI images can help predict future breathing problems, so doctors can better support these infants.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 8 months–1.8 years - NCT07676435RecruitingPhase 2
Fisetin trial for healthy lung aging
This study tests whether a natural supplement called fisetin can help slow lung decline in older adults who are either lifelong nonsmokers or long-term smokers. You would take fisetin or a placebo for a period and be monitored regularly.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06535074Recruiting
Monitoring lung function in preterm babies with low oxygen
This study looks at how well a non-invasive device can monitor lung function in preterm babies who have frequent drops in their oxygen levels (hypoxemia). The goal is to help doctors better track and care for these babies.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT04624490RecruitingPhase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 103 recruiting lung function studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lung function trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung function trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
