Erector spinae block for thoracic surgery pain relief
This trial tests a specific pain-block injection (called an erector spinae block) to help with pain during thoracic surgery that removes part of the lung. You might benefit from better pain control and possibly fewer pain medicines, depending on what the study finds.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT06771687Recruiting
High-intensity interval training for heart conduit patients
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart function and fitness in people who have a surgical tube (conduit) connecting their right ventricle to their pulmonary artery. It aims to find a safe and effective exercise program for those with this type of congenital heart condition.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 12–45 - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05843500Recruiting
CTEPD and CTEPH registry for long-term blood-clot lung disease
This study builds a registry to learn about people with chronic blood-clot lung disease (CTEPD/CTEPH) and what symptoms and test results look like over time. It may help clinicians better understand the condition and improve future care, since your participation supports data collection rather than a new drug.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05227222Recruiting
Device treatment for lung swelling after swimming
This trial tests a specific device to treat a lung condition called swimming-induced pulmonary edema, where fluid collects in the lungs after swimming. It may help people who need quick, acute treatment to get breathing better.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT05391737Recruiting
Study of fluid in the lungs after open-water swimming
This study looks at what happens in the lungs after open-water swimming. It may help doctors better understand and recognize “swimming-induced lung fluid,” especially by using lung ultrasound when symptoms happen.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT06573723Recruiting
Rare disease registry at Hospital Italiano
This study collects information from patients with certain rare diseases to better understand them. If you have one of these conditions and receive care at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, you may be able to join.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges Any age - NCT07476703Recruiting
Extended study on the SCAPIS Stockholm reexamined group
This trial studies data and samples from people already taking part in the main SCAPIS reexamination study in Stockholm. It looks for new findings to help understand heart and lung health.
StockholmAges 56–74 - NCT04095351Recruiting
Study of connective tissue disease affecting the lungs
This study looks at people aged 18 and older who have a connective tissue disease and lung involvement. It aims to better understand how these lung problems progress and may help doctors choose better care.
InnsbruckAges 18–80 - NCT05820776Recruiting
Tele-rehabilitation for stable breathing problems
This observational study looks at how tele-rehabilitation affects people with stable chronic breathing problems, especially if breathing limits their activity. It may help your care team understand what kinds of support work best when symptoms are steady.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07177339RecruitingPhase 3
Testing depemokimab for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This study tests an early treatment called depemokimab for people with moderate to severe COPD who have a type of inflammation linked to high eosinophils. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve breathing.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT05553223Recruiting
Very small activity doses for COPD symptoms
This study tests whether “micro-doses” of physical activity (short, small amounts) can help people with COPD. It aims to see if these small activity bursts are safe and beneficial for people who have stable COPD.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT06603246RecruitingPhase 1
Study of inhaled GDC-6988 for mucus lung diseases
This study tests an inhaled medicine (GDC-6988) to see if it is safe and helps clear mucus from the lungs in people with mucus-related lung diseases like chronic bronchitis, COPD, or bronchiectasis. You may qualify if your lung function is fairly stable and you produce daily mucus.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07274631Recruiting
Study of inflammatory lung diseases
This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06195059Recruiting
Heart ultrasound with contrast during exercise to study lungs
This study uses a special ultrasound (echocardiography) with a contrast dye to see how blood flows through your lungs during exercise. It aims to help doctors better understand why patients get short of breath during activity.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07180368Recruiting
Managing multiple medications in older adults
This study looks at how to better manage multiple medications in older adults with long-term health conditions. It aims to improve safety and reduce drug-related problems.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 65 years+ - NCT07333183RecruitingPhase 2
Mosliciguat plus treprostinil for lung disease with pulmonary hypertension
This trial tests a new medicine called mosliciguat combined with an inhaled treatment (treprostinil) for people who have both scarring lung disease (interstitial lung disease) and high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to see if this combination can improve how well you feel and function.
Kissimmee, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT03854071Recruiting
Heart and health MRI testing in healthy people or patients
This study uses MRI (a scanning test) to develop new ways to measure heart function in both healthy volunteers and people with suspected or known heart disease. It may help researchers create better heart tests that could improve future diagnosis and monitoring.
Sheffield, EnglandAges 20–80 - NCT04307615Recruiting
Oxygen versus CPAP during emergency lung fluid episodes
This trial tests whether regular oxygen or CPAP (a breathing-support machine) works better for people who have swimming-induced pulmonary edema, a sudden buildup of fluid in the lungs after swimming. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective breathing treatment in an emergency.
FalunAges 18 years+ - NCT04973579Recruiting
Stent plus heart surgery for high risk carotid patients
