This Phase 3 study tests a modified treatment plan for children newly diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a type of liver cancer. It may help improve how well treatment works and how safely it can be given by using a structured approach.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT04310930RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Find the best treatment plan for a lung infection
This study looks for the best way to treat Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS), a difficult lung infection. You may join a treatment group, or first join an observation group and possibly move into treatment later if you meet the criteria.
Kogarah, New South WalesAges Any age - NCT04339270RecruitingPhase 4
Testing azithromycin in chronic lung disease with frequent flare-ups
This Phase 4 study tests whether a long course of azithromycin can reduce flare-ups in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have had recent exacerbations. It also looks at mucus properties and how flare-ups happen.
BordeauxAges 40–85 - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges birth–20 years - NCT01280994RecruitingPhase 2
Lung MRI test using special gas to measure breathing
This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04236726Recruiting
Quality of life study for people with chronic breathing failure
This study looks at how chronic respiratory failure affects day-to-day quality of life. It enrolls people who use breathing support at home or in care, and may help clinicians understand what support works best for patients’ daily living.
LondonAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03965234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung infusion for colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs
This trial tests a procedure where chemotherapy is delivered directly into the lungs during surgery to remove or destroy lung tumors. It aims to reduce the chance of cancer returning after surgery for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lungs.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 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 - 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+ - NCT04016181Enrolling by invitation
Study to categorize lung fibrosis types at a clinic
This study enrolls people who have interstitial lung disease and are seen at the Edinburgh lung fibrosis clinic. It aims to sort different underlying “types” of lung fibrosis so doctors can better understand and potentially guide care.
Ages 18–99 - 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 - NCT03721822RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging how smoking affects lung inflammation in adults
This Phase 1 study uses special lung imaging to measure inflammation after different types of smoking or vaping. It looks at differences between people and may help researchers understand how smoking-related lung irritation develops.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–45 - 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 - 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.
