This study looks at how well the lungs and heart work together during exercise in people who have had the Fontan operation. The goal is to understand how lung function affects overall fitness, which can help improve care for Fontan patients.
AnkaraAges 8–55 - NCT05674994RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid versus placebo for sudden worsening of lung scarring
This Phase 3 trial studies whether glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine helps people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who have a sudden flare-up, compared with an inactive placebo. You may be helped if steroids improve breathing and recovery during these acute episodes, but the study is designed to test that clearly.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT05591118RecruitingPhase 3
Catheter treatment to remove blood clots in the lungs
This Phase 3 trial tests a catheter-based procedure to remove a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) and reduce strain on the heart. It may help people who have specific CT scan signs of right-heart strain.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05587712RecruitingPhase 2
Sotatercept trial for children with pulmonary arterial hypertension
This Phase 2 trial tests sotatercept, a medicine that targets the blood-vessel changes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), in children. It may help improve how well the heart and lungs work by changing the underlying disease process.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–17 - NCT05571059RecruitingPhase 2
Oral ifetroban for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests an oral medication, ifetroban, to see if it can slow the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung condition that causes scarring. It aims to improve breathing and lung function in patients with IPF.
La Mesa, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT05548283RecruitingPhase 4
Standard IV antibiotic timing for cystic fibrosis lung flare-ups
This study standardizes how IV aminoglycoside antibiotics are given during a 14-day treatment for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung flare-ups. It may help make treatment more consistent and easier to manage for people who need IV antibiotics.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6 years+ - NCT05521789RecruitingPhase 4
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 - NCT05530408Recruiting
Pulmonary scan imaging registry and blood sample collection
This trial builds a research database from people who take lung scans like pulmonary MRI or CT at the University of Kansas Medical Center. It may help researchers better understand lung disease and improve future diagnosis or treatment.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05464095Recruiting
Mobile health support for pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study tests whether using a mobile health tool can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) manage their condition in daily life. It’s aimed at adults who are stable on their PAH medicines and can track activity using a wearable device.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05473520RecruitingPhase 3
Doxycycline add-on therapy for lung improvement in tuberculosis
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding doxycycline to standard TB medicine can improve lung function and reduce lung tissue damage. It aims to see if patients recover better by targeting the lung response to TB.
Kota Kinabalu, SabahAges 21 years+ - NCT05442671Recruiting
Exercise coaching program for children with pulmonary hypertension
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, done with remote support, is safe and helpful for children with pulmonary hypertension. It aims to improve how well kids function day-to-day while they stay on their usual PH medications.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–18 - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
