Improving asthma care for children
This study tests a new approach in primary care to better manage childhood asthma. It focuses on children whose asthma is not well controlled and who already take a daily controller inhaler — it aims to find better ways to reduce flare-ups and improve daily breathing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 5–18 - NCT07140315RecruitingPhase 1
DK222 study for lung and bladder cancer
This trial tests a new imaging drug, DK222, to see how well it works in people with non-small cell lung cancer or bladder cancer who are about to start immunotherapy. It may help doctors see if the treatment is reaching the right targets.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07136909Recruiting
Testing a sleep apnea questionnaire for French children
This study is testing a French questionnaire (OSA-18) to see if it helps screen for sleep apnea in kids. It may lead to easier detection of breathing problems during sleep.
