Can air pollution changes help kids with asthma?
This study looks at whether reducing air pollution in your home can help control asthma symptoms in children. It involves using air filters or other methods to clean the air and tracking how the child's asthma responds over time.

Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy before surgery for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has a PD-L1 level of 1% or higher. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Rome, Roma (RM)Ages 18–99 - NCT07261956Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to check fluid overload in severe preeclampsia
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if women with severe preeclampsia have too much fluid in their lungs, which could help guide treatment. It may help decide who needs closer monitoring or faster delivery.
Panama City, Provincia de PanamáAges Any age - NCT07267000Recruiting
Exercise and immune response in lung cancer
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can boost the immune system in people with lung cancer. If you are generally active and able to ride a stationary bike, this trial could help understand how exercise affects your body's defenses.
GrazAges 18–75 - NCT07261969Recruiting
Blood test and leaflet to guide antibiotic use for respiratory infections
This trial tests if a quick blood test (C-reactive protein, CRP) and a patient leaflet can help doctors prescribe antibiotics only when needed for adults with respiratory tract infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Sokuluk Village, Chui RegionAges 18–70 - NCT07268560Recruiting
Testing a new antibiotic combination for certain drug-resistant infections
This trial is checking how well a combination of two antibiotics, aztreonam and avibactam, works in patients who have a specific type of drug-resistant bacterial infection in the belly or lungs. It aims to offer a new treatment option for infections that are hard to cure.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07261787RecruitingPhase 4
Surfactant given in 1 vs. 5 minutes for very preterm babies
This trial compares giving a breathing treatment (surfactant) over 1 minute versus 5 minutes to help very premature babies born before 28 weeks. The goal is to see which timing helps the baby's breathing and heart rate stabilize better.
GrazAges birth–3 days - NCT07260591RecruitingPhase 1
VSV-02 for advanced solid tumors that need new options
This trial tests an experimental virus therapy called VSV-02 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The treatment is given directly into a tumor, aiming to attack cancer from the inside.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07268859Recruiting
Fan to prevent ticagrelor-related shortness of breath
This study tests whether using a small fan can help reduce the shortness of breath (dyspnea) that some people feel when they first start taking the blood thinner ticagrelor after a heart attack.
Istanbul, AvcılarAges 18–65 - NCT07267468Recruiting
App and nutrition plan for swallowing recovery after stroke
This study tests a mobile health program combining rehabilitation exercises and a personal nutrition plan to help people recover from swallowing problems (dysphagia) after a stroke. The goal is to see if using the app improves swallowing and quality of life.
Algeciras, CadizAges 18 years+ - NCT07264673RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab plus OSE2101 as maintenance after chemo-immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (cemiplimab and OSE2101) as ongoing treatment after initial chemo-immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer. It is for patients whose tumor DNA is still detectable in the blood, and who carry a specific immune marker called HLA-A2.
Roma, RMAges 18–99 - NCT07268313RecruitingPhase 4
Remission Check for Nasal Polyp Patients on Biologics
This study looks at patients with nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis who have been stable on a biologic medicine (Dupilumab or Mepolizumab) for at least 3 months. It checks if they stay in remission (symptoms well controlled, no need for extra treatments) for a full year.
Copenhagen, Region HAges 18 years+ - NCT07262541Recruiting
Measuring airway opening pressure in children on ventilators
This study tests a simple way to measure the pressure needed to open the airways in children on a breathing machine. It may help doctors provide better breathing support for your child in the intensive care unit.
ParisAges Up to 17 years - NCT07267104Recruiting
Home ventilation study for COPD patients
This study looks at signals from non-invasive home ventilators to better track COPD. It may help understand how to manage the condition using data from your device.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 40–80 - NCT07268768Recruiting
Personality, thinking, and sensitivity in headache
This study looks at how personality, thinking skills, and heightened nerve sensitivity are connected in people with headache. It aims to better understand these relationships to improve care.

Testing nerve tap to protect breathing muscle on ventilator
This study tests whether a gentle electrical tap on a nerve near your collarbone (the phrenic nerve) can keep your diaphragm—the main muscle you use to breathe—from getting weak while you're on a ventilator. The goal is to prevent muscle loss and help you breathe better later.
Istanbul, BakirkoyAges 18–80 - NCT05014581RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vasopressors to prevent low blood pressure during intubation
This trial studies whether using blood-pressure support medicines (vasopressors) during breathing tube placement (intubation) can prevent dangerous drops in circulation (“cardiovascular collapse”). It may help patients stay stable during and after intubation, especially in critical illness.
