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.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–74 - NCT06221670RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab after surgery for high-risk early lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving a drug called Toripalimab after surgery can help prevent early-stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people whose tumors have high-risk features and PD-L1 levels of at least 1%.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06760273Recruiting
Tobramycin for Pseudomonas infection in bronchiectasis
This study looks at the long-term effects of using an inhaled antibiotic called tobramycin to get rid of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in people with bronchiectasis. It may help keep the infection away and improve breathing health.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07240038Recruiting
Reducing breathing problems in NICU babies on ventilators
This study is testing a way to reduce the chance of a certain breathing problem (called NAV) in babies who need a breathing machine in the NICU. If your baby has been on the machine for two days or more, they may be able to join.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges birth–6 months - NCT07244016Recruiting
TCR test to guide immunotherapy and chemo for extensive SCLC
This trial tests whether a blood test (TCR) can help predict how well a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and chemotherapy works for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has not been treated before.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07241767RecruitingPhase 2
Study of FH-006 injection with other treatments for lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called FH-006 combined with other cancer therapies for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or treated with radiation. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07245446RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for untreated extensive-stage SCLC
This study tests a new immunotherapy drug called ivonescimab for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see if it can help shrink tumors and improve survival.
