Targeted immune cells for recurrent small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a special immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) that targets a protein called B7-H3 on your cancer cells. It is for people with small cell lung cancer or similar neuroendocrine cancers that have returned or not responded to standard treatments.

Using smartwatches to study smoking in daily life
This study uses a smartwatch to track smoking in daily life. Researchers want to see if wearable devices can help understand smoking patterns in people with lower income and education who smoke regularly.
Kansas City, KansasAges 21–120 - NCT07284459RecruitingPhase 2
Testing PIPE 791 for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests an investigational drug called PIPE 791 for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It aims to see if the drug slows lung function decline, and you may continue your current IPF medicine.
Mar del Plata, Buenos AiresAges 40 years+ - NCT07218146RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ZL-1310 vs Standard Care for Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ZL-1310, against standard treatments for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial therapy. The goal is to see if ZL-1310 works better than other options.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01712620RecruitingPhase 2
Spironolactone for pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study tests whether spironolactone, a water pill that helps the heart and blood vessels, can improve symptoms in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It's a phase 2 trial, meaning it's early but may offer a new treatment option.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07777614RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-dose lung radiation for early-stage lung cancer or a single lung tumor
This trial tests a higher-dose radiation treatment for lung cancer or a single tumor in the lung. It is designed for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to, and whose tumor is near the chest wall making standard radiation difficult.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT05147688RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of donor stem cell treatment for lung disease
This early study tests whether donor stem cells made from umbilical cord tissue are safe in people with lung diseases. If you qualify, you may be offered the study treatment while the team closely checks for side effects and safety.
Naples, FloridaAges Any age - NCT06902766Recruiting
Digital asthma management for children aged 4 to 12
This trial tests whether a smartphone app and digital inhalers can help monitor and manage asthma in children. It may help parents track treatment better and improve asthma control.
ParisAges 4–12 - NCT05988437Recruiting
Home environment help for fibrosing hypersensitivity pneumonitis
This study tests whether a special home visit from an indoor environment medical advisor can help people with fibrosing hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The goal is to find and address things in your home that might be making your lung condition worse.
Nantes, Loire-AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT06914713Recruiting
Jin-shui Huan-xian formula to slow lung decline in IPF
This study tests an herbal formula (Jin-shui Huan-xian) to see if it can slow the worsening of lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may be an option for those with mild-to-moderate lung impairment.
