Rochester, MinnesotaAges 14 years+ - NCT05490901Recruiting
Test exercise heart pressure measurements with an ultrasound
This study looks at how well two heart tests taken during exercise—direct heart pressure measurement and an ultrasound—can explain shortness of breath with activity. It may help doctors better diagnose what’s causing your symptoms.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05190211Recruiting
Video exercise therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This study tests whether telerehabilitation (supervised exercise/therapy by video or remote tools) can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) improve breathing and function. You may be able to take part if your condition has been stable and you haven’t recently done a pulmonary rehab program.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT05140525RecruitingPhase 3
BPA plus CTEPH medicines to improve heart strain
This trial tests whether starting specific medicines for CTEPH and then doing balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) can improve how well the right side of the heart is working. It may help people who cannot have surgery (PTE) and are newly starting CTEPH/PAH-targeted treatment.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05139719RecruitingPhase 2
HEC585 trial for slowing lung scarring decline
This Phase 2 study tests whether HEC585 can slow the decline in lung function in people with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD). It may help preserve breathing capacity and breathing tolerance over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05738720Recruiting
Home breathing rehab to reduce COPD flare-ups and hospital visits
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT05193240Recruiting
Swallowing test to predict vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery
This study checks whether a simple swallowing test can forecast vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery, compared with a camera exam of the throat. If predictions are accurate, it may help doctors prevent or plan treatment for swallowing and voice problems.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05089162Recruiting
Testing a heart ultrasound approach in chronic heart failure
This study looks at people with chronic heart failure with weaker pumping function and checks how well a lung/heart ultrasound can assess congestion (fluid buildup). If you qualify, you may help test a better way to evaluate your condition during a planned hospital visit.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04031508Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Omega-3 in an IV for newborns with breathing circulation problems
This trial tests whether giving an omega-3 fat medicine through an IV (along with standard care) improves breathing and blood-flow problems in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help reduce strain on the lungs and heart by targeting inflammation and blood-vessel changes.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 1 hour–2 weeks - NCT04343430Recruiting
Hospital study for fluid buildup in heart failure with preserved heart function
This study looks at how well doctors can assess fluid buildup before you leave the hospital if you have a type of heart failure called “preserved ejection fraction.” It may help improve decisions about when and how safely people are discharged.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04047784Enrolling by invitation
Using EBUS to help diagnose a blood clot in the lungs
This study looks at whether a procedure called EBUS (a camera passed through the airway) can help doctors diagnose an acute pulmonary embolism—a sudden blood clot in the lungs—in critically ill, intubated ICU patients. If you’re eligible, EBUS may be done during bronchoscopy as part of your usual care to help confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04343443Recruiting
Test whether a lung ultrasound helps discharge planning after heart failure
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT07143747Recruiting
