Combination therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment combining stereotactic radiation (SFRT), the immunotherapy tislelizumab, and platinum chemotherapy for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can't be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer better.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–85 - NCT07133880RecruitingPhase 4
Nebulizer vs inhaler for COPD breathing treatment
This study compares two ways to deliver long-acting bronchodilator medications for COPD: a nebulizer (machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist) versus a handheld inhaler. The goal is to see which method works better for people with moderate to severe COPD symptoms.

Study of a new immune drug for resistant lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SAR445877) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer continued to grow despite immunotherapy. It aims to see if this treatment can help when other options have stopped working.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07131800Enrolling by invitation
Voice changes after breathing tube in head and neck surgery
This study looks at how your voice may change after a breathing tube is used during surgery. It focuses on people having thyroid, head and neck, or abdominal surgery to see if there are any voice changes that can be measured or noticed.
ZagrebAges 18–70 - NCT07129616Recruiting
Remote monitoring for childhood asthma
This study tests if remote monitoring tools can help manage asthma in children and young people. It aims to see if tracking symptoms and medication use from home improves care.
EdinburghAges 5–17 - NCT07131293Recruiting
European registry study on lymphatic treatments
This study is for people of any age with a confirmed central lymphatic disorder (a problem in the main lymphatic vessels, often linked to heart conditions or occurring on its own). Researchers want to collect information from different hospitals to learn more about these disorders and the best ways to treat them.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07131241Recruiting
A study to predict risk in pulmonary hypertension
This study aims to better predict the future risk for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) by combining different types of health information collected over time. If you join, researchers will track your health data to build a tool that personalizes care and improves outcomes.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07130123Recruiting
Endotracheal suction during extubation in the ICU
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
Orléans, LoiretAges 18 years+ - NCT07132918RecruitingPhase 2
Heart-Sparing Radiation for Thoracic Cancers
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for cancers in the chest area (like lung, esophageal, or thymus cancers) that aims to protect the heart from high doses of radiation. It is for people who need daily radiation for at least three weeks and who are expected to live more than a year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07129174Recruiting
Lung bacteria changes in neurosurgery ICU patients with breathing tubes
This study looks at how tiny organisms in the lungs (the lung microbiome) change in neurosurgery patients who need a breathing tube in the ICU. It aims to see if these changes affect recovery or outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07135401Recruiting
Improving liver MRI with breath-holding and oxygen
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen during an MRI scan can help patients hold their breath longer and produce better images of the liver. It might make the scan more comfortable and reliable for people who have trouble holding their breath.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07135427RecruitingPhase 4
Genes and vaccines in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
This study looks at how genetic differences in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency affect immune response to a pneumonia vaccine. It may help find better ways to prevent lung infections.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT07131020Recruiting
Moxibustion for immune function in stable COPD
This study tests whether a type of moxibustion (a traditional Chinese heat therapy) called Yifei Moxibustion can help improve immune function in people with stable COPD. Researchers will look at tiny particles in your blood called exosomes to understand how the treatment works.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT07127926RecruitingPhase 1
Belumosudil pill vs crushed pill study for chronic GVHD
This trial tests whether crushing belumosudil tablets changes how the drug works in people with chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), a complication after a stem cell transplant. It helps doctors know if taking crushed pills is as effective as whole tablets.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07128095Recruiting
Wellness and nutrition check during COVID-19
This study looks at how exercise, nutrition, and overall wellness have been affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may help you understand how to improve your health habits.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 18–75 - NCT07132307Recruiting
Mouthpiece help after failed sleep apnea nerve stimulator
This study tests whether adding a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) can help people whose sleep apnea wasn't fully treated by a nerve stimulator implant. You would use the mouthpiece at night and take home sleep tests to see if your breathing improves.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–70 - NCT07126964Recruiting
Extended prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT02986087Recruiting
FETO balloon procedure for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia
This trial studies a fetal procedure called FETO (placing a small balloon in the baby’s windpipe) to help severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia babies develop better lungs before birth. It may help some babies whose scans suggest very limited lung growth, but it requires specific timing and pregnancy conditions.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT06053476Recruiting
Chest tube and pain care after lung surgery for collapsed lung
This study compares two ways to manage the chest tube and pain after surgery for a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). The goal is to find out which approach helps patients recover faster and with less pain.
