Sleep apnea treatment for AFib: a personalized trial
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine can reduce the number of AFib episodes you have. It's a personalized 'N-of-1' trial, meaning you'll try both CPAP and no CPAP at different times to see what works best for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT07086599Recruiting
Sleep problems in psoriatic arthritis and SAPHO syndrome
This study looks at sleep problems in people with psoriatic arthritis or SAPHO syndrome. Participants will stay in the hospital for special sleep tests to understand their sleep issues better.

Vadadustat treatment for lung injury from infection
This trial tests a pill called vadadustat for people with a serious lung condition called ARDS, which makes it hard to breathe. The drug may reduce inflammation and improve oxygen levels, helping patients recover without needing a breathing tube.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06972537Recruiting
Piperacillin-Tazobactam Dosing for Pneumonia in Older Adults
This study looks at the best way to give the antibiotic piperacillin-tazobactam (Zosyn) to people 65 and older who have pneumonia. It aims to make treatment more effective and safer for older adults.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–100 - NCT05394831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an EGFR-targeted drug for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (JIN-A02) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has specific EGFR mutations. It mainly checks whether the treatment is safe and tolerable, and how the body handles the drug, with possible benefit depending on your mutation type.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05650905Recruiting
Eye and blood-vessel function study after COVID-19
This study measures how well the nerves in your retina and the tiny blood vessels in your eye “couple” (work together) after COVID-19. It may help researchers understand eye-related effects of COVID-19 and long COVID, and how these processes change over time.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06411431Recruiting
Early chest tube removal after surgery for collapsed lung
This study compares two different times to remove the chest tube after surgery for a first-time collapsed lung. The goal is to find out if taking the tube out earlier is just as safe and effective as waiting longer.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06756230Recruiting
Downhill walking exercise for IPF patients
This study tests whether downhill walking improves lung function and exercise ability in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). If you can walk on a treadmill and haven't been in a structured exercise program recently, you may qualify.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18–75 - NCT06968442Recruiting
