Recruiting studies
- NCT03504007Recruiting
Patient registry for people starting blood thinners after a clot
This registry collects information from people who had a clot (venous thromboembolism) and start blood thinners soon after diagnosis. It may help doctors better understand treatment patterns and outcomes after early blood-thinner use.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02777879Recruiting
Study gut-like lung bacteria and inflammation in early COPD
This study looks at the lung’s tiny bacteria (microbiome) and inflammation in people with early COPD who have a smoking history. It compares them with smokers who have normal breathing tests, to better understand what may drive COPD early on.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT03067181RecruitingPhase 3
Active surveillance and chemotherapy for germ cell tumors
This study looks at how to manage germ cell tumors in children and young adults using careful monitoring for some patients and chemotherapy for others. It aims to see whether these approaches can control the cancer while avoiding unnecessary treatment when possible.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03149341Enrolling by invitation
MRI and computer-heart simulations for heart disease
This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.
Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT02984761Recruiting
Surgery vs focused radiation for early lung cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early-stage lung cancer: surgery or a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy. It aims to find out which approach works best for people whose cancer is small and has not spread.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02825654Enrolling by invitation
Deployed Veterans Study of Service and Health
This study looks at how military service and deployment experiences relate to health and wellbeing in veterans who served after 9/11. It may help researchers understand which factors affect long-term health.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02796937Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term safety study of a blood protein for Alpha-1
This study checks how safe a prescribed blood protein medicine (alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor) is over the long term in people with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. You may join if you already finished an earlier study or if your lung function has been declining.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 20–72 - NCT02740868RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing MRI using xenon gas to study lungs
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT02570815RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorescent-guided robotic lung surgery for early lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT00470327Recruiting
Study of how interstitial lung disease naturally changes
This study looks at how interstitial lung disease (lung scarring) typically progresses over time. It may help researchers understand what to expect and what changes to watch for.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT00307281Recruiting
Emphysema and COPD patient registry with sample storage
This study enrolls people who have emphysema/COPD into a research registry and collects health information and biological samples. It may help researchers understand the disease better and improve future treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT00077909Recruiting
Study of Lung Proteins in Patients With Pneumonia
This research study examines proteins in fluid collected from your lungs during a breathing tube procedure (bronchoscopy) to better understand pneumonia. By studying these proteins, researchers hope to improve how doctors diagnose and treat lung infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT00001352Recruiting
Understanding Why Some People Get Fungal Infections
This study looks at genetic reasons why some people are susceptible to a serious fungal infection called cryptococcosis. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform genetic testing to understand the immune system differences that make certain individuals more vulnerable to this infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pulmonary?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,310 recruiting pulmonary studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pulmonary trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pulmonary trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
