Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07322133RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood pressure medicines for newborns with lung hypertension
This trial compares two medicines (dopamine and norepinephrine) to see which works better for raising blood pressure in newborns who have both low blood pressure and high blood pressure in the lungs. Both medicines are given through a vein to help stabilize your baby's blood pressure.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07214376Recruiting
Nerve ablation for pulmonary hypertension from left heart disease
This trial tests a device that uses a catheter to deliver energy to nerves around the pulmonary arteries, aiming to reduce high blood pressure in the lungs caused by left heart failure. It is for people with ongoing heart failure symptoms despite optimal medications.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT07088926RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new medicine for bronchiectasis with chronic Pseudomonas infection
This study tests a new medicine (AZD0292) given through a vein for people with bronchiectasis and a chronic Pseudomonas lung infection. It aims to see if it can reduce flare-ups and improve lung health.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07582211Recruiting
BPAP breathing support for severe asthma attacks in children
This study tests whether a special breathing mask (BPAP) can help children ages 5–17 who come to the emergency room with severe asthma attacks. The mask gently pushes air into the lungs to help them breathe more easily.
