This study looks at how South African children's immune systems respond to acute respiratory infections. It may help find better ways to treat or prevent these infections.
Cape Town, Western CapeAges Up to 13 years - NCT06903026Recruiting
Memory loss and sleep apnea: a study
This study looks at whether people who have had a specific kind of temporary memory loss (transient global amnesia) also have sleep apnea. If you fit, your past medical data may be used to help find a link.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06107608Recruiting
Scan for tumors in lung cancer patients on immunotherapy
This study uses a special type of PET scan to look at specific cells in non-small cell lung cancer tumors that might help doctors understand how well immunotherapy treatments are working. If you are about to start immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer, you may be able to join.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT03457415Recruiting
Provide sputum sample for lung cancer testing
This study collects sputum (mucus from deep in the lungs) to help test or label lung cancer-related results. You may be placed in a healthy, high-risk, or cancer group depending on your smoking history and whether you already have a lung cancer diagnosis.
Summit, New JerseyAges 21 years+ - NCT04467333Recruiting
Registry for lung cancer patients at a pulmonary hypertension center
This is a hospital registry study that collects information from people with lung cancer. It looks at pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) in relation to lung cancer, which may help doctors understand risk and care needs.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT05894616Recruiting
Home monitoring study for lasting breathing symptoms after COVID
This study looks at people with lingering post-COVID symptoms, especially breathing and lung-related findings, using home monitoring and medical tests. It may help researchers understand what’s driving ongoing symptoms and identify patterns that could guide better care.
Stockholm, SverigeAges 18–50 - NCT04380038RecruitingPhase 4
Viral infection study in well-controlled asthma adults
This study looks at how a viral infection affects people with well-controlled asthma. It tests whether specific asthma-related immune signals can predict who reacts more to a virus, which may help guide future asthma care.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–40 - NCT05094570RecruitingPhase 4
Dupilumab for nasal polyps with staph bacteria
This trial studies whether dupilumab (an injection) can reduce staph bacteria in the nose and make the nose’s microbes more diverse in adults with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). If you already have a plan to start dupilumab as standard care, the study may help doctors better understand why it works.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT05255302RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Shorter immune maintenance for stage IV lung cancer after initial treatment
This trial tests whether giving immune therapy maintenance for a shorter time helps people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are doing well after initial chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to keep the cancer controlled while possibly reducing treatment exposure and side effects.
