Study drug for advanced lung cancer with a specific EGFR change
This Phase 1/2 trial tests HS-10375, a study drug, in people with advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has a specific EGFR mutation (C797S). It may help by targeting that mutation when standard treatments are not an option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05437198Recruiting
Breath sample study comparing lung bacteria in and out of COPD
This study looks at the germs in exhaled (breathed-out) air to compare people with COPD to people without COPD. It may help researchers better understand lung differences and what could drive COPD.
CréteilAges 18–70 - NCT05440851Recruiting
Testing different treatments for severe breathing failure in ICU
This platform trial studies which treatment works best for adults with sudden, severe breathing failure needing oxygen or a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help patients by matching them to the most appropriate treatment strategy and tracking outcomes to improve care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05442060RecruitingPhase 2
Test medicine add-on to erlotinib for EGFR lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding OBI-833/OBI-821 to the standard targeted pill erlotinib works better for some people with EGFR-mutated lung cancer. It may help shrink tumors that already started responding to erlotinib.
Taipei, Beitou DistrictAges 20 years+ - NCT05442671Recruiting
Exercise coaching program for children with pulmonary hypertension
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, done with remote support, is safe and helpful for children with pulmonary hypertension. It aims to improve how well kids function day-to-day while they stay on their usual PH medications.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–18 - NCT05444946Recruiting
Itraconazole alone versus with steroid pills for Aspergillus lung overlap
This trial compares itraconazole taken by mouth alone versus itraconazole plus steroid pills in people who have a mix of two Aspergillus lung conditions. It aims to see which approach works better to control symptoms and lung changes caused by Aspergillus infection.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 15–90 - NCT05445310RecruitingPhase 2
Taking furmonertinib after lung surgery for high-risk EGFR cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether furmonertinib can lower the risk of lung cancer coming back after surgery in certain early-stage lung cancers. You must have EGFR mutations and specific higher-risk features seen on the tumor’s pathology.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05445791RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin plus targeted lung cancer drugs for EGFR-mutated cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding metformin to standard targeted medicines (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) helps people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. It’s meant for people who haven’t already had EGFR-targeted treatment and who have healthy enough labs and organs to safely take the study medicines.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05445583Recruiting
Technology support program for young adults with uncontrolled asthma
This study tests whether a technology-based program can help improve asthma control in young African American adults who are not currently well controlled. It may help you track symptoms and use asthma tools more consistently between clinic visits.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–30 - NCT05446272Recruiting
Helps premature babies breathe during breathing tube removal
This trial tests a breathing-support method (called DIVA) to help premature babies breathe safely when the breathing tube is taken out. It may help more babies transition off the ventilator and avoid breathing problems during extubation.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges birth–2 months - NCT05448066Recruiting
Tests allergen testing to choose allergy shots
This study checks how well a newer, detailed allergy test (using specific allergen components) can guide whether you should get allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots) for things like dust mites or grass pollen. It may help patients get the right treatment plan by improving how doctors confirm what allergens are driving symptoms.
PortoAges 5 years+ - NCT05448703Recruiting
Predicting radiation lung injury after lung cancer treatment
This study looks at ways to predict who will develop radiation pneumonitis (lung inflammation after radiation) and how outcomes vary. It may help doctors better watch and treat lung side effects after lung cancer radiation.

Blood and lung-sample test to guide treatment for lung inflammation
This Phase 1/2 study uses detailed “single-cell” testing (from lung samples) to better understand why lung inflammation happens after cancer radiation or immunotherapy. It aims to help choose the right treatment approach for people with radiation pneumonitis or immune checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis.
