Understanding long-term cancer survival in hard-to-treat tumors
This study looks at why some people with hard-to-treat cancers live much longer than expected. It collects tumor samples to search for clues that might help future patients.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT06161285Recruiting
Gut germs and immune response in infant bronchiolitis
This study looks at how the germs in a baby's gut and their immune system respond to bronchiolitis (a common lung infection). If your baby is under 12 months and gets bronchiolitis during the RSV season, their participation could help us understand why some babies get very sick and others don't.

Using one scan to predict early scarred lung disease
This study uses a single lung scan to find early signs of progressive scarring (fibrosis) in people with pulmonary fibrosis. It may help doctors predict which patients will get worse faster.

How endobronchial valves affect diaphragm movement in emphysema
This trial measures how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves after you get endobronchial valves (tiny one-way valves in your airways) for emphysema. It helps doctors see if the valves improve your breathing muscle function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT06163807Recruiting
Asthma and nasal polyps long-term observation study
This study follows people with asthma (with or without nasal polyps) to learn more about how the disease changes over time. If you already take part in the MEGA cohort or use a biologic drug for severe asthma, this may be a way to contribute to research while continuing your normal care.

Fazirsiran for mild liver scarring in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
This study tests an investigational drug called fazirsiran, which is designed to treat alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease with mild scarring. The goal is to see if fazirsiran is safe and can improve or slow liver damage in people with the PiZZ genetic type.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06165419RecruitingPhase 2
High-dose radiation for spine metastases from solid tumors
This trial tests a new way of giving high-dose radiation to solid tumors that have spread to the spine. It is for people whose spine is stable, have not had prior treatment to that area, and have only minor weakness (if any).
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06166056RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an inhaled medicine for bronchiectasis safety
This trial tests an inhaled medication for people with bronchiectasis, a lung condition causing chronic cough and mucus. It first checks safety in healthy volunteers, then studies how the drug works in people with bronchiectasis.
CambridgeAges 18–80 - NCT06166329Recruiting
Chair lift test for pulmonary embolism prognosis
This study checks if a simple chair lift test can help predict recovery in patients with a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) who are not critically ill. It aims to find out if this test can help doctors decide on the best follow-up care.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06167460Recruiting
Blood test to monitor targeted therapy response in advanced lung cancer
This study uses a simple blood test to look at bits of tumor DNA (called circulating tumor DNA) to see how well your targeted therapy (TKI) is working. It helps doctors predict and monitor whether the treatment is effective for your advanced lung cancer.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–80 - NCT06167369Recruiting
Sleep apnea, brain health, and CPAP therapy study
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your brain and thinking skills. Researchers want to see if CPAP treatment can help protect your brain health.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06167512Recruiting
Study on kidney cell changes after severe injury
This study looks at how kidney cells change their energy use after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand and treat kidney damage in trauma patients.
Le Kremlin-BicêtreAges 18 years+ - NCT06168032Recruiting
COVID-19 vaccine for lung cancer patients
This trial is testing how well the COVID-19 vaccine works for people with lung cancer to prevent another infection. It also looks at certain biomarkers in your blood that might help predict your body's immune response.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06168019Recruiting
Flu and COVID-19 study for pregnant women in Nagpur
This study follows pregnant women in Nagpur to understand how influenza and COVID-19 affect them and their babies. Participants will be contacted twice a week for symptom checks and may provide blood samples at key points during pregnancy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT06168006Recruiting
Exercise app for heart health after COVID
This study tests whether a smartphone exercise app can improve heart health and physical function in people who still have symptoms like fatigue or shortness of breath after COVID-19. If you qualify, you'll use the app to follow a home exercise program.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06168162Recruiting
Personalized breathing support during weight-loss surgery
