Loss of Y chromosome in autoimmune and lung disease
This study looks at how the loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells may be linked to autoimmune and lung diseases in older men. By joining, you help researchers understand this connection better.

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05883137Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen during intubation in the ICU
This trial looks at using a special, fast-flow oxygen device through the nose during intubation in critically ill adults. It may help keep oxygen levels safer while a breathing tube is placed.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–100 - NCT06709456Recruiting
Draining fluid from lungs in the ICU
This trial tests whether draining fluid that builds up around the lungs helps patients with breathing problems in the intensive care unit. You may be eligible if you are in the ICU, have at least 2 cm of fluid on an ultrasound or CT scan, and need extra oxygen or a breathing machine.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06923098Recruiting
PET/CT vs. CT for lung biopsy
This study compares two ways to guide a needle biopsy in people with suspected lung cancer: using a CT scan alone or using a combined PET/CT scan. The goal is to see which method better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis with fewer needle passes.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18 years+ - NCT04260477RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new stronger TB retreatment medicine schedule
This trial tests a new “triple-dose” set of medicines to treat people whose tuberculosis (TB) has come back in the lungs. If you qualify, the goal is to improve cure rates and reduce the chance of TB returning again.
NiameyAges Any age - NCT05028153RecruitingPhase 2
Azithromycin for young children with asthma-like hospital symptoms
This trial tests whether the antibiotic azithromycin can help children in the hospital who are having asthma-like breathing symptoms. If you qualify, your child may get azithromycin as part of the study and will be monitored closely for side effects and breathing improvement.
Gentofte MunicipalityAges 1 year–5.9 years - NCT04630496Recruiting
Walk Test Before Lung Surgery for Older Adults
This study is looking at a “walk and movement” challenge for older adults preparing for thoracic (chest) surgery. It may help the team understand mobility and support safer care before surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT05958563Recruiting
CPAP may prevent COPD flare-ups in COPD-OSA overlap
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
AngersAges 40 years+ - NCT07210606RecruitingPhase 4
Sleep apnea treatment study for veterans with heart failure
This study looks at how well a medicine called trazodone might help treat central sleep apnea in veterans who also have heart failure. It aims to improve sleep and breathing, which may help you feel better.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06926413RecruitingPhase 1
How aumolertinib changes midazolam levels in lung cancer patients
This study tests how a lung cancer pill called aumolertinib affects the levels of another drug (midazolam) in your body. It is for people with advanced NSCLC whose tumors have specific EGFR gene changes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07207291RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JKN2501 in healthy volunteers
This trial tests a new drug called JKN2501 in healthy people to find the best and safest dose. It is the first time this drug is being given to humans.
