Comparing PCR tests to standard methods for infections
This trial uses stored samples to see if a newer test (PCR) is as good as standard tests at detecting three infections: Pneumocystis (a lung infection), malaria, and leishmaniasis. It does not involve new treatments.

Lidocaine for sickle cell pain crisis in intensive care
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (lidocaine) given through a vein can help reduce the amount of strong painkillers (morphine or oxycodone) needed for a sickle cell pain crisis or acute chest syndrome. It aims to ease pain and possibly lower side effects from opioids.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07274163Recruiting
Lung Cancer Patient Registry at Policlinico San Matteo

PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07278388Recruiting
Fatigue and brain fog in long COVID: a brain study
This trial uses brain scans to understand why people with long COVID feel very tired or have trouble thinking clearly. It could help find new treatments for these symptoms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT07277608Recruiting
Study on sleep apnea patients and their health over time
This study looks at patients with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) to understand the condition better. Researchers will follow patients for at least one year to learn more about the underlying causes and how it affects health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07271225Recruiting
Ear acupuncture for nausea from TB drugs
This study tests whether ear acupuncture can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by tuberculosis medications. It is for people who are at least 17 years old, have drug-sensitive or certain types of drug-resistant TB, and feel sick after taking their TB pills.
Jakarta, Jakarta TimurAges 17 years+ - NCT07278206Recruiting
Brain stimulation for long COVID fatigue and brain fog
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain treatment called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help with the severe fatigue and brain fog that often come with long COVID. You would need to be able to come to the hospital for multiple treatment sessions.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07269262Recruiting
Support program for PPF patients and their caregivers
This study tests a support program for people with progressive pulmonary fibrosis and their caregivers. It focuses on helping both the patient and the person who helps care for them.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07275905RecruitingPhase 1
Phage therapy for chronic achromobacter lung infection in cystic fibrosis
This study tests whether giving you a mixture of viruses (called phages) that specifically target the bacteria Achromobacter can help treat your chronic lung infection. You would breathe in the phages, and the study will check if this is safe and helps improve your breathing.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07274631Recruiting
Study of inflammatory lung diseases
This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT07273643Recruiting
Studying tiny particles in cord blood of very premature babies
This study looks at microscopic particles called extracellular vesicles in the umbilical cord blood of babies born before 28 weeks. Researchers want to see if these particles can help predict severe health problems or death, and eventually improve care for extremely premature newborns.
MontpellierAges birth–3 months - NCT06891183Recruiting
Heat therapy for lung tumors
This trial uses heat, delivered through a needle, to destroy small lung tumors. It might be an option for people who cannot have surgery due to other health problems.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT03478553Recruiting
Study of genes in people with pulmonary fibrosis
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors related to pulmonary fibrosis, especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help researchers understand why some families are more affected and could guide future testing or treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06890572Recruiting
Air purifiers for allergy symptoms relief
This study tests if using an air purifier at home can help reduce allergy symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose. It is for people with persistent moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis caused by indoor allergens like dust mites or pet dander.
SeoulAges 19–60 - NCT03978377Recruiting
Checks heart and lung effects after chest radiation
This study looks at how chest radiation treatment affects the heart and lungs in people with certain lung or esophagus cancers. It may help doctors better predict and prevent these side effects during curative (aimed at cure) radiotherapy.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05337631Recruiting
Care patterns for older people receiving head and neck radiation
This study looks at special ways of providing care for people age 65 and older with certain head-and-neck cancers when they receive radiation (with or without chemotherapy). It aims to understand how care should be organized to better support older patients during treatment.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 65 years+ - NCT05831566RecruitingPhase 3
Digital coaching program for severe asthma control
This Phase 3 study tests whether an asthma care program with digital (phone-based) support helps people with severe asthma stay more stable and manage symptoms better. You may need to meet specific criteria for “severe, refractory” asthma and be willing to use a smartphone for monitoring and coaching.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05473156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06357780Recruiting
Comparing two breath-timing methods for breathing masks in adults
This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT06528418Recruiting
Breath test to find lung diseases
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
