Alcohol and drug effects on immunity in ICU breathing patients
This study looks at how alcohol and other drugs can affect the body’s immune system in people who are very sick in the ICU due to breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand immune changes during critical illness and respiratory failure.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT02682667Recruiting
Providing blood samples for cancer immunotherapy research
This study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02906943Recruiting
Testing cancer tissue to guide targeted treatment choices
This trial studies advanced solid tumors by using stored tumor samples to look for molecular clues. The goal is to help doctors better choose cancer treatments that may work for your specific tumor.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02543996Recruiting
Providing blood or tissue samples to study disease
This study collects and stores biological samples (like blood and cord blood) to help researchers understand what causes disease. You may be asked to provide samples during pregnancy, delivery, or from an affected person, depending on eligibility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT02316379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Breathing MRI test to map lung airspaces in adults
This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02838836Recruiting
Checking for cancer DNA and tumor cells in bodily samples
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02527486Recruiting
Airways registry study for people with COPD symptoms
This registry collects information from people with COPD (and sometimes overlapping asthma-COPD features) to better understand breathing problems and airways behavior. It may help researchers learn which patterns match different symptom types, without necessarily using a new drug.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20–90 - NCT02803242Recruiting
Patient research network for people with lung symptoms
This trial enrolls adults to help build a patient-powered research network for chronic lung disease. If you join, you’ll likely be asked to complete surveys or provide information to help researchers learn how symptoms and health outcomes change over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT02423070Recruiting
Study how donor genetic material behaves after lung or heart transplant
This study looks at how transplanted genetic material (DNA) changes and settles in the body after lung or heart transplant. It may help doctors understand transplant healing and improve future care for transplant recipients and candidates.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 14–80 - NCT02734069Recruiting
Testing whether muscle mass affects carboplatin side effects
This study looks at how your body’s “fat-free mass” (mostly muscle and organs) may change the dose of carboplatin and the risk of chemotherapy side effects. It’s for people with advanced lung cancer who are starting treatment with carboplatin plus paclitaxel for the first time.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT02777879Recruiting
Study gut-like lung bacteria and inflammation in early COPD
This study looks at the lung’s tiny bacteria (microbiome) and inflammation in people with early COPD who have a smoking history. It compares them with smokers who have normal breathing tests, to better understand what may drive COPD early on.
