Detecting heart and lung pressure problems with a smart stethoscope
This study tests if a digital stethoscope and a simple 3-lead ECG (heart rhythm test) can detect two heart conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and low pumping strength of the heart (low ejection fraction). It's intended for adults who recently had a heart ultrasound or a heart catheterization.

This study tests a numbing medication (bupivacaine with epinephrine) injected during your first sinus surgery to see if it helps reduce pain after the procedure. It may be an option if you have not had sinus surgery before and are generally healthy.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06792188Recruiting
Using a smartwatch to predict sleep apnea
This trial tests if a smartwatch can help predict sleep apnea in people who have symptoms like snoring or daytime sleepiness. It may offer a simpler way to identify the condition.
SeoulAges 22–85 - NCT06647784Recruiting
Side versus belly lying for ARDS patients
This trial compares lying on your side versus lying on your belly to improve oxygen levels in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors choose the best position to help you breathe better.
Bastia, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06968221RecruitingPhase 3
Bovine reinforcement for stomach, colorectal, and lung surgery
This trial tests whether a bovine reinforcement material helps make staple lines in stomach, colorectal, and lung surgeries stronger and safer. It may reduce the risk of leaks or bleeding at the staple line.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06972576RecruitingPhase 1
EphA2-targeted CAR-DC and CAR-T cell therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy using your own immune cells (CAR-T and CAR-DC) that are specially trained to attack a protein called EphA2 found on your lung cancer cells. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has continued to grow after other treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07092943Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during surgery
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
