Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06615492Recruiting
Lung transplant study: comparing two ECMO methods
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03120481Recruiting
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 - NCT06914713Recruiting
Jin-shui Huan-xian formula to slow lung decline in IPF
This study tests an herbal formula (Jin-shui Huan-xian) to see if it can slow the worsening of lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may be an option for those with mild-to-moderate lung impairment.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 40–85 - NCT04016181Enrolling by invitation
Study to categorize lung fibrosis types at a clinic
This study enrolls people who have interstitial lung disease and are seen at the Edinburgh lung fibrosis clinic. It aims to sort different underlying “types” of lung fibrosis so doctors can better understand and potentially guide care.
Ages 18–99 - NCT05989698Recruiting
Validating a wearable cough monitor (C-mo)
This study tests a wearable device (C-mo) that monitors coughing. It is for people of all ages who are currently coughing and can cooperate with wearing a small sensor on their belly for a short time.
AlfenaAges 2 years+ - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07629986Recruiting
How antibiotics work in cystic fibrosis patients on ETI therapy
This study measures how antibiotics are processed by the body in people with cystic fibrosis who are taking a combination drug called elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). Understanding this helps doctors prescribe the right antibiotic doses for patients on this newer treatment.
RoscoffAges 12 years+ - NCT07457463Recruiting
Pulmonary fibrosis self-management program
This study tests a learning and self-management program for people with pulmonary fibrosis. It helps you better understand and manage your lung condition.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05042219Recruiting
How lung disease treatment may affect heart function
This study looks at how common long-term lung conditions and their treatments may change heart function. It uses heart imaging (an MRI) to see what’s happening, which could help doctors better monitor heart risks in people with lung disease.
AachenAges 18–99 - NCT07236541Recruiting
Mucus plugs and lung scarring in COPD patients having lung cancer surgery
This study looks at whether mucus plugs (thick mucus blocking the airways) in people with COPD might lead to more lung scarring after lung cancer surgery. It compares lung tissue from people with COPD to those with normal lungs.
ShanghaiAges 18–89 - NCT07061873Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for adults with lung disease
This study tests a physical exercise program designed for adults with diffuse interstitial lung disease. It aims to help improve your breathing and daily function through supervised exercise in a pulmonary rehabilitation setting.
