Collecting extra samples during lung procedures
This trial collects extra samples (like tissue or fluid) that are left over from your routine lung procedure. It helps researchers study lung health without any extra risk to you.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07217522Recruiting
Genetics of pulmonary hypertension study
This study looks at the genes that may be linked to pulmonary hypertension. By providing a saliva sample and filling out a health survey from home, you can help researchers learn more about this condition.

This trial tests a serious video game designed to help teenagers learn skills for better health. It's for 12- to 16-year-olds who speak Spanish and have internet access.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 12–16 - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT07219251Recruiting
Veterans with lung cancer needed for study
This study wants to learn more about the experiences of veterans with lung cancer. If you are receiving cancer treatment or recently finished it, you may be able to join.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216404RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin therapy for depression in lung cancer patients
This trial tests whether a psychedelic-assisted therapy can help treat major depression in people with non-small cell lung cancer. If you have moderate to severe depression and are receiving cancer treatment, you may be able to join.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07213765RecruitingPhase 4
Short-term antibiotics for MAC lung disease
This trial tests whether a shorter course of antibiotics works for people with a specific type of lung infection caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). It aims to find a treatment that is just as effective but easier to complete.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07220525Recruiting
Sleep and heart rhythm study for people with sleep apnea device
This study looks at how turning off your sleep apnea device for short periods affects your heart rhythm, especially if you have a condition like atrial fibrillation. It may help understand the link between sleep and heart health.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07217197Enrolling by invitation
A monitor to detect breathing problems after surgery
This trial tests a new respiratory monitoring system to see if it can detect and predict opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) — when pain medicines slow your breathing too much — in patients recovering from surgery. The monitor uses a face mask, nasal cannula, and small sensors to track breathing continuously, so that doctors can step in early if there is a problem.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07214636Recruiting
Apnea therapy exercise app for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests a new exercise app to help people with sleep apnea. It looks at whether using a smartphone or tablet app can improve symptoms for those already using a CPAP machine.
Istanbul, Göztepe NeighborhoodAges 18–65 - NCT07218601RecruitingPhase 2
Using breath testing to track lung cancer treatment
This trial uses a special breath test (E-Nose) to monitor how well treatment is working in people with non-small cell lung cancer. You just breathe into a device, and it measures compounds in your breath.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07214844Recruiting
Freezing vs. heating nerves for chronic low back pain
This study compares two procedures to treat long-term low back pain from the small joints in your spine. One uses extreme cold, the other uses heat to stop pain signals. It may help if you have had at least three months of back pain and other treatments haven't worked.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07216755Recruiting
Breathing training and nitrate for altitude exercise
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
Daytona Beach, FloridaAges 18–40 - NCT07220421Recruiting
Stress relief for clinicians: breath and meditation study
This study tests simple breathing and meditation exercises (done daily for 4 weeks) to see if they help reduce stress in clinicians. You'll wear an Oura ring to track your sleep and activity. It's a way to find easy, low-effort tools that fit into a busy life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 25–70 - NCT07213375RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
High-dose steroid to reduce pain after lung surgery
This trial tests if a high dose of dexamethasone (a steroid) can lower pain after keyhole lung surgery. If you are having planned keyhole lung surgery for a lobe or segment, you may be eligible.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07220096Recruiting
Registry for young adults with lung cancer
This study is for people diagnosed with lung cancer at a younger age (under 50). It aims to understand your needs and improve care through a dedicated program. You will be asked to complete surveys about your experience.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - NCT03642002Recruiting
Music therapy for adults on breathing machines in the ICU
This trial tests whether music therapy can improve comfort and recovery for adults who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the ICU for at least 48 hours. It may help with stress, mood, and other ICU-related symptoms while you are in critical care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06077019Recruiting
How lung function affects exercise in fit adults
This study looks at how your lung function may limit your exercise capacity, even if you are very active. If you are a healthy, highly fit adult aged 18-39, you may be able to help researchers better understand this connection.
CopenhagenAges 18–39 - NCT06067100Recruiting
Effect of asthma medication on exercise in active adults
This trial tests how a common asthma medication (a long-acting beta-agonist combined with a corticosteroid) affects exercise performance in healthy, fit young adults. It may help you understand if you could join if you exercise regularly and have no asthma or heart issues.
CopenhagenAges 18–39 - NCT06655012Recruiting
How salmeterol affects exercise performance
This trial tests whether salmeterol, a medication usually used for asthma, can improve exercise performance in healthy, very fit adults. You will exercise on a bike or treadmill and have your oxygen use measured.
