Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 40–54 - NCT04624490RecruitingPhase 1
Lung function MRI using a special gas in volunteers
This Phase 1 study tests a lung scan that uses a special gas and MRI to measure how well your lungs work. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung disease to see how well the scan works and how safe it is.
Kansas City, KansasAges 3 years+ - NCT04733430Recruiting
Study lung cancer care in real life
This study follows adults with confirmed lung cancer as they are diagnosed and treated in routine clinical practice. It aims to better understand how lung cancer is diagnosed and managed day-to-day, which may help improve future care.
ViennaAges 18–125 - NCT04783155Recruiting
Breathing training after lung transplant at Mayo Clinic
This trial studies whether inspiratory muscle training (exercises to strengthen the breathing muscles) improves recovery and other health outcomes after a single- or double-lung transplant. It may help see if adding breathing exercises makes day-to-day function better and supports clinical recovery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04790253Recruiting
Check brain radiation timing or frequent MRI scans for SCLC
This study compares two ways to follow and treat small-cell lung cancer in the brain: preventive brain radiation versus close monitoring with MRI scans and treatment only if needed. It may help people avoid unnecessary brain treatment or choose the safer timing strategy.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT04944563Recruiting
Segmentectomy vs lobectomy for small middle-lung lung cancer
This trial compares two types of lung surgery for certain small lung cancers in the middle part of the lung: removing a segment (segmentectomy) versus removing a whole lobe (lobectomy). It aims to see which surgery works better while balancing cancer control and lung function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05244239RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation plus lurbinectedin for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding palliative (comfort-focused) radiation to the medicine lurbinectedin can better control extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It may help reduce problems from tumors in places like bones and organs.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05258448Recruiting
Chemo-radiotherapy for advanced, non-surgical lung cancer
This trial studies treatment that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It may help improve cure chances for patients who can complete the study tests, including heart scans.
Odense CAges 18 years+ - NCT05361174RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an IOV-4001 infusion for advanced melanoma or lung cancer
This trial studies how well and how safely an infusion called IOV-4001 works in adults with advanced melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It also aims to see what side effects occur and whether the treatment can help control the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05375591Recruiting
AI study to sort lung nodules after past cancer treatment
This study uses computer tools (AI) and detailed scan patterns to better classify new lung nodules in people who previously had curative-intent cancer treatment. It may help doctors decide whether a nodule is likely benign or cancer, using your CT scan and related medical history.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05375149Recruiting
Breath particle study after lung transplant
This study looks at tiny particles in exhaled breath after a lung transplant. It may help researchers understand how the lungs are doing after transplant by using breath samples.
