SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT07203638Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotics to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics to adults on breathing machines lowers the risk of developing pneumonia during ventilation. It is a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know if you receive the antibiotic or a placebo.
Banhā, Al-QalyubiaAges 18–70 - NCT07203781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and their effect on breathing effort
This study is testing how different settings on a breathing machine affect your breathing effort and drive. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings for patients with severe low oxygen levels.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07211529Recruiting
Nerve block during chest surgery to reduce complications
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07207850Recruiting
Parents helping teens quit vaping
This study tests a program where parents work together to help their teenager stop vaping. It is designed for teens who vape and a parent or guardian who wants to support them.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 15–18 - NCT07203287RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing muscle relaxants in kidney disease patients during surgery
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07203053RecruitingPhase 2
Tarlatamab for advanced small cell lung cancer after first treatment
This trial tests a new drug called tarlatamab for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has worsened after one prior round of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. It's designed for patients who are still active but may need extra support (ECOG 2).
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06629675Recruiting
Personalized music to boost walking in COPD
This study tests whether a personalized music program can help people with COPD walk more and feel better. The music changes based on your walking speed to keep you motivated during a pulmonary rehab program.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06875479Recruiting
Testing a sleep tracking mat for sleep apnea diagnosis
This study tests if a special sleep tracking mat can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) compared to the standard overnight sleep test. If you snore, feel sleepy during the day, or have poor sleep, joining could help improve diagnosis methods.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06930807Recruiting
Blood test for monitoring lung cancer after surgery
This study tests whether a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) can help doctors monitor for cancer returning after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed with surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06926179Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests using immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for non-small cell lung cancer. It looks at how safe and effective this approach is and how it affects survival.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06477185RecruitingPhase 2
