Breathing Muscle Training for Sleep Apnea
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise (training the muscles you use to breathe in) can improve sleep apnea symptoms in people who already use CPAP. The goal is to see if adding this training helps you feel better or need less CPAP pressure.

Testing a new breathing device during planned surgery
This trial compares a new breathing device (used with a hand-held bag) to a standard breathing machine during planned surgeries. Researchers want to see if the new device works just as well for people under general anesthesia.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–80 - NCT06118229Recruiting
Wearable devices for recovery after lung cancer surgery
This study tests if wearing a smart watch or fitness tracker can help doctors monitor your recovery after lung cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for lung cancer, participating may give your care team more information to track your health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06119516Recruiting
Guiding breathing machine settings for severe obesity and lung injury
This study tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with severe obesity and lung injury (ARDS). It aims to measure pressure inside the lungs more directly, which could help customize ventilation and improve outcomes.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06122077Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer detection in smokers
This trial tests a blood test that looks for multiple signals to find lung cancer early. If you are a smoker or former smoker over 50, this test might help detect cancer before you have symptoms.

Digital self-management for fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether a digital self-management program (using a smartphone or tablet) helps people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease better manage their symptoms and quality of life. If you have this lung condition and can use a mobile device, this study could offer you extra support at home.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06123962Recruiting
Identifying lung injury subtypes to guide treatment
This study looks at different patterns in patients with a severe lung condition called ARDS, to better understand why some respond to treatments differently. You may help doctors learn how to personalize care.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06123754RecruitingPhase 3
Envafolimab plus chemo for stage III NSCLC before surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy (Envafolimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before and after surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if adding Envafolimab helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06123650Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus therapy for swallowing after stroke
This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 49–65 - NCT06125327RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
SC1011 for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
This trial tests a new medication called SC1011 taken twice a day, compared to a placebo, to see if it can help people with IPF. It is for patients who were diagnosed within the last 5 years and have moderate lung function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–80 - NCT06126406RecruitingPhase 1
CEA-targeting CAR-T cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR-T) designed to attack cancer cells that make a protein called CEA. It may be an option for people with advanced colorectal, esophageal, gastric, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried at least two standard treatments.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06126627Recruiting
Brain and voice study for teachers with vocal fatigue
This study looks at how vocal fatigue affects the brain and voice in teachers. It uses MRI and voice tests to understand these changes.
BonnAges 21–39 - NCT06126692Recruiting
Asthma study comparing different biologic treatments
This study looks at how well different biologic treatments work for people with severe or mild-to-moderate asthma, and compares them to healthy volunteers. It aims to find which treatments work best for different asthma types.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT06128837RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for recurrent small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a drug called LY01610 for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial chemotherapy. It may offer a new treatment option for those whose cancer progressed within 6 months of their last treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06127303RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab plus cryoablation for lung cancer with limited progression
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has started to grow again in only a few spots after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help control the cancer without switching to a completely new therapy.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06127654RecruitingPhase 3
Ventilation imaging to improve quality of life in lung cancer radiotherapy
This trial tests whether using a special lung ventilation scan can help doctors design radiation therapy that reduces side effects and improves quality of life for people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer.
Liverpool, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06127641Recruiting
Rehabilitation for lung disease after tuberculosis
This trial tests a pulmonary rehabilitation program for people who have ongoing lung problems after being treated for tuberculosis. It aims to help improve their breathing and physical function.
Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT06128148RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JYP0322 for ROS1 fusion-positive solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called JYP0322 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called a ROS1 fusion. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective against these tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06128681Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal problems
This study tests a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating problems in the mediastinum (the space between your lungs). It uses a bronchoscopy (a camera through the airway) to take a biopsy and possibly treat the area, all while you are under general anesthesia.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT06128928Recruiting
