Comparing two blood pressure medicines for newborns with lung hypertension
This trial compares two medicines (dopamine and norepinephrine) to see which works better for raising blood pressure in newborns who have both low blood pressure and high blood pressure in the lungs. Both medicines are given through a vein to help stabilize your baby's blood pressure.

Osimertinib plus savolitinib for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (osimertinib and savolitinib) for people with a specific type of advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. It may help patients whose cancer has a low number of MET gene copies.
QingdaoAges 18–80 - NCT03984253Recruiting
Swiss Severe Asthma Register for adults and children
This study set up a long-term asthma registry to better understand people with severe asthma and what treatments they use. If you fit the asthma severity requirements, you may be asked for consent and basic health information so the team can follow your asthma over time.
Liestal, Basel-LandschaftAges 1 year+ - NCT04510129Recruiting
Cancer biospecimen collection study for immunotherapy patients
This study collects samples (like tissue biopsies and imaging information) from people with certain cancers who are starting anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. It helps researchers gather material to study how these treatments work.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06191302Recruiting
Long COVID study in Denmark
This study follows people who were hospitalized for COVID-19 to learn more about long-term health effects (post-COVID conditions). It uses blood samples already collected during their hospital stay.
HvidovreAges 18 years+ - NCT06617416RecruitingPhase 3
AK104 for locally advanced lung cancer after chemoradiotherapy
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug, AK104, for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It is for those who have finished chemoradiotherapy and have not gotten worse.
JinanAges 18 years+ - NCT06730295RecruitingPhase 2
Lung cancer radiation trial shrinking target margins
This trial tests a newer, more precise way of giving radiation for lung cancer tumors that are near the center of the chest. The goal is to see if using a smaller treatment area can reduce side effects while still killing the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04996017RecruitingPhase 3
Atezolizumab after surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study tests whether atezolizumab given after surgery and chemotherapy can lower the risk of mesothelioma coming back compared with a placebo. It may help by boosting the immune system to control remaining microscopic cancer cells.
Meldola, ITAòYAges 18 years+ - NCT06872242Recruiting
