HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT04807127Recruiting
Testing blood and lung fluid markers for lung side effects
This study tries to find early warning markers in lung fluid collected during a bronchoscopy (a camera test of the airways). The goal is to better spot and understand lung inflammation that can happen after immune checkpoint cancer treatments.
Leuven, Flemish BrabantAges 18–120 - NCT04823299Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation ablation using two different energy types
This trial tests whether one ablation approach works better than another for paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation by targeting the heart’s “triggers” and “substrate” (where the rhythm problem is). If you qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two ablation energy methods during a pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04822077Recruiting
Proton beam treatment for thymus tumors
This trial studies proton radiotherapy (a type of radiation) for cancers of the thymus, like thymoma or thymic carcinoma. It may help improve tumor control while limiting radiation exposure to nearby organs.
Umeå, NorrlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04849806Recruiting
Testing whether heart nerve signals predict COPD symptoms
This study looks at “sympathetic nerve activity” (signals from the nervous system that affect the heart) in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal is to see whether these measurements can help predict what happens to people with COPD.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT04879069Recruiting
Registry study for recent high-risk blood clot in the lungs
This trial is a registry that collects information about people with a recent lung blood clot diagnosed by CT scan. It particularly focuses on higher-risk cases to better understand outcomes and care in the first 2 weeks after symptoms start.
Poznan, GreaterPolandAges 18 years+ - NCT04901884Recruiting
PET/MR scans before and after radiation for heart-lung effects
This study uses special PET/MR imaging before and after radiation treatment to better understand how radiation may affect the heart and lungs. It may help researchers find ways to predict and monitor these side effects using imaging and blood tests.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04918095Recruiting
COPD home monitoring with a phone or tablet
This study tests a home monitoring program for people with COPD (a long-term lung condition) to track symptoms using a phone or tablet. It may help clinicians spot changes earlier and improve how COPD care is managed.
Ventura, CaliforniaAges 40–100 - NCT04937283Recruiting
Segmentectomy vs lobectomy for small lung cancer
This trial compares two lung-surgery options for small lung adenocarcinoma (≤ 2 cm): removing a lung segment versus removing an entire lobe. It aims to see which operation controls the cancer while preserving lung function.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 20–79 - NCT04973579Recruiting
Stent plus heart surgery for high risk carotid patients
This trial looks at whether doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery is safe and effective for people at high risk of stroke around the time of surgery. It targets people with significant carotid narrowing who also need heart surgery for specific heart problems.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT04986332Recruiting
Program for COPD or heart failure in people with other illnesses
This trial studies a detailed, whole-body program to improve outcomes in people with COPD or heart failure, especially those who also have several other chronic conditions. It may help by improving activity and monitoring health markers over about 24 weeks.
PalermoAges 45–75 - NCT04993612Recruiting
Blood test during heart procedure from a wedge position
This study checks whether measuring blood gases from a specific heart “wedge” position during a right heart catheter test gives useful information. It may help doctors understand how blood and oxygen are doing in certain heart and lung conditions.
AachenAges 18–99 - NCT05008081Recruiting
Study for COPD flare-ups given standard rescue medicines
This study looks at people hospitalized for a COPD flare-up (“exacerbation”). It may help improve how flare-ups are treated because participants need to receive the usual rescue medicines like steroids and/or antibiotics and then follow a study plan.
LinzAges 18 years+ - NCT05016817RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an IV stem cell treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This Phase 1 study tests whether an IV infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It focuses mainly on safety and tolerability, and it may help by offering a new treatment approach if the cells are safe for you.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT05022446Recruiting
Survey study on how COVID-19 affected lung procedures
This study is a survey sent to U.S. lung doctors to understand how COVID-19 changed the way certain lung procedures are done. Your answers could help improve future care and planning during respiratory outbreaks.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05025774Recruiting
Exercise program study for young heart, leukemia, and lung survivors
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–25 - NCT05048004Recruiting
Test of a heart procedure during atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial studies whether adding a specific technique during a first-time catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation can improve safety or outcomes. It may help doctors understand risks related to small blood clots during the procedure.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05053061Recruiting
Telerehabilitation program for people with COPD at home
This trial tests whether supervised rehab exercises delivered by phone/video (telerehabilitation) can help people living with COPD. You may be a fit if you’re an adult with COPD who hasn’t done pulmonary rehabilitation before and can use a smartphone.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT05061368RecruitingPhase 2
Sildenafil by mouth to improve breathing in COPD
This Phase 2 trial tests whether sildenafil tablets can improve exercise ability, shortness of breath, and heart-lung function in people with COPD. It also compares against people without COPD to better understand how sildenafil affects breathing tests.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 40–80 - NCT05112705Recruiting
Finding deep vein clots early in ICU patients
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05192057RecruitingPhase 4
Inhaling salty steam for lung MAC infection
This trial studies whether inhaling hypertonic (very salty) saline helps treat nodular-bronchiectatic lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). It may help reduce ongoing infection and symptoms if you have the right type of MAC lung pattern and have not recently started the usual MAC treatments.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT05196698Recruiting
Home high-flow oxygen after COPD hospital flare
This study tests whether using a special oxygen device at home helps prevent another acute COPD flare after you’ve been hospitalized. It’s mainly for people with severe breathing problems who may need oxygen support long-term.
