This trial trains primary care doctors to help their COPD patients stick with treatments. It tests whether a new coaching approach can improve medication use and health outcomes.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT07098884Recruiting
Using smartphone photos and AI to diagnose lung nodules
This trial uses photos of lung nodule tissue taken with a smartphone and analyzes them with artificial intelligence to improve diagnosis and predict outcomes. It may help people who are scheduled for lung surgery based on CT scans.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 20–75 - NCT07098611Recruiting
New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.

This trial offers therapy sessions (via phone or video) for people with lung cancer who are dealing with depression, anxiety, or other emotional concerns. It's part of Penn Medicine's collaborative care program and aims to make mental health support easier to access while you are being treated for lung cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07101640RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Montelukast study for breathing problems in premature infants
This trial tests if the medicine montelukast can help very premature babies on breathing machines. It aims to see if it improves lung development and makes it easier for them to breathe on their own.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 1 week–4 weeks - NCT07104578Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for severe breathing trouble
This study tests whether using ultrasound on the lungs helps emergency doctors make faster, more accurate diagnoses for patients with severe shortness of breath.

Testing Thopaz Device for Persistent Lung Air Leaks
This trial tests a device called Thopaz for people who have a stubborn air leak in the lung (an air leak that hasn't healed after 5 days of chest tube drainage). The study is for those who are already scheduled for a bronchoscopy to address the leak, and aims to see if Thopaz can help stop the leak faster.
