Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 8–60 - NCT03723564RecruitingPhase 1
Serial amnioinfusions for severe fetal kidney underdevelopment
This Phase 1 study tests whether repeatedly adding fluid into the amniotic sac (amnioinfusion) can help babies with very severe kidney problems before birth. The goal is to see if this “regenerative therapy” is safe and potentially beneficial, while closely tracking pregnancy and baby outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT03748069Recruiting
Study of complications from flu and lung Aspergillus infection
This study looks closely at how influenza (the flu) and a specific kind of lung fungus called Aspergillus affect people who are sick in the ICU with breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand the cause and improve treatment for severe lung infections.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT03774758Recruiting
Blood tests to estimate lung cancer risk over 3 years
This study looks for blood “biomarkers” (measurable signs in blood) that may help predict who is at higher or lower risk related to lung cancer. You would have blood samples taken and then be followed with visits for up to 3 years.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT03799354Recruiting
Strength training study for people with COPD
This trial tests whether a maximal strength training program can help people with COPD who are stable. It is looking at people with moderate-to-severe airflow limitation and excludes several other lung and health problems.
Lumezzane, BresciaAges 50–80 - NCT03797183Recruiting
Check heart and lung function using a painless chest scan
This study uses a noninvasive scan that measures electrical signals across the chest to better understand breathing and heart-related circulation problems. It may help doctors learn what to monitor and how conditions like lung/airway pressure and vessel narrowing progress.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2 weeks–40 years - NCT03800017Recruiting
Muscle strength and exercise function in lung scarring
This study looks at how well skeletal (muscle) function supports exercise in people with interstitial lung diseases (including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It may help better understand fitness and breathing limits, which can guide rehabilitation choices and future care.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 40–80 - NCT03807310Recruiting
Vitamin and fatty-acid supplement study for COPD recovery
This trial tests whether a targeted supplement (vitamins D and fatty acids) can help people with COPD. It’s meant for people who are medically stable and not currently dealing with a recent COPD flare-up.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT03881345Recruiting
Registry for blood clots in legs or lungs
This registry collects information from people who have a blood clot in a leg or a clot in the lung. It helps researchers understand how these conditions are treated in real life.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT03888300Recruiting
Measuring the stickiness of lung mucus in breathing problems
This study measures how thick and stretchy (elastic) lung mucus is. It may help researchers better understand mucus in people with obstructive lung breathing problems.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT03945968Recruiting
Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT03980717Recruiting
Balloon procedure for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia in pregnancy
This trial tests whether placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s windpipe can help lungs develop and improve severe pulmonary (lung) blood pressure in babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may lower the chance of breathing and circulation problems after birth, but it requires a specialized procedure and close follow-up in Houston.
Houston, TexasAges 18–45 - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT04002882Recruiting
Study how body fat pattern affects lung decline in cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how where your body stores fat may be linked to changes in metabolism and lung function over time in people with cystic fibrosis. It also compares results with healthy people similar in age, sex, and body size to understand the differences better.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 16 years+ - NCT07572383RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging Study of Immunosuppression for Progressive Lung Fibrosis
This study uses advanced imaging to see how immunosuppressive medications (like mycophenolate or prednisone) affect lung scarring in patients with certain types of lung fibrosis. You would have imaging scans and breathing tests to track changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04062565RecruitingPhase 3
Testing treprostinil plus riociguat for advanced pulmonary artery hypertension
This study tests whether taking injected treprostinil together with riociguat can improve how the heart and lung blood vessels work in people with advanced pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It may help improve blood-flow measurements and the structure of the heart.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04106479Recruiting
Baby heart ultrasound study in newborn congenital heart defects
This study records newborn heart measurements (using medical imaging) to compare babies with certain congenital heart defects to healthy-term babies. The goal is to see how well one test matches another, which may help doctors better understand heart conditions in newborns.
Montreal, QuebecAges birth–1 week - NCT04114435Recruiting
Heart and lung testing in extremely premature babies
This study looks at how the hearts and lungs work in babies born very early (before 29 weeks). It may help researchers understand why some babies develop breathing and heart circulation problems and how to measure their recovery.
