Sotatercept for right heart function in pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a medicine called sotatercept to see if it can improve how the right side of your heart pumps in people with PAH. It may help you feel better and slow down the disease.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–70 - NCT06992440RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin for better right heart function in pulmonary hypertension
This trial tests if a diabetes drug can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension whose right heart function is reduced. Participants take empagliflozin or a placebo for 24 weeks to see if heart function improves.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT02924818Recruiting
Research study for adults with long-term breathing lung diseases
This study enrolls adults with chronic lung conditions like COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or interstitial lung disease. It’s designed to learn more about these illnesses and to develop better ways to study or improve care.
ReimsAges 18 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 - NCT07024095Recruiting
Breathing muscle training after back surgery for osteoporosis
This study tests whether a simple breathing-muscle training program can help people recover better after vertebroplasty surgery for a broken back caused by osteoporosis. It aims to improve your breathing strength and overall function.
Kayseri, KocasinanAges 50 years+ - NCT07309393Recruiting
Comparing two muscle relaxant reversal drugs after lung surgery
This trial tests two different medicines used to reverse muscle relaxation after lung surgery. It looks at which one helps you breathe better in the first hours after your procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05103670Recruiting
PET/CT lung scan to assess recovery after pulmonary embolism
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) and an inhaled/linked tracer to measure how well air and blood flow work in different lung areas after a pulmonary embolism. It’s meant to better understand regional lung function and how rehabilitation may help some people recover.
BrestAges 18–99 - 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 - NCT06477458Recruiting
AI analysis of CT scans for lung health before chest surgery
This study uses a computer program (deep learning) to analyze your chest CT scan and lung function test results before surgery. The goal is to see if the AI can help doctors better assess your lungs and plan your operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06404164Recruiting
3D Lung Map to Guide Small Nodule Surgery
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06166329Recruiting
Chair lift test for pulmonary embolism prognosis
This study checks if a simple chair lift test can help predict recovery in patients with a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) who are not critically ill. It aims to find out if this test can help doctors decide on the best follow-up care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 121 recruiting pulmonary 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 pulmonary 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 pulmonary 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.
