This trial tests different breathing exercises to help people recover after a stem cell transplant. It looks at whether these exercises can improve strength and recovery.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–65 - NCT07062770Recruiting
Testing air rebreathing during CPAP use
This study checks how much air rebreathing (breathing in some of your own exhaled air) happens when you use a CPAP machine. It might help improve CPAP therapy for people with sleep apnea.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT07062172Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for family members
This trial offers a low-dose chest CT scan to screen for lung cancer in family members of people with a specific genetic mutation driving their lung cancer. It aims to catch cancer early in those at higher risk.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04837755Recruiting
Study for COVID-19 and long COVID in Saarland
This study looks at people with current COVID-19 or symptoms lasting after COVID (called long COVID). It aims to learn more about how to care for these conditions and what to expect over time.
Homburg, SaarlandAges birth–110 years - NCT05124977Recruiting
Antibiotic plan study for ventilator pneumonia in ICU
This trial tests an “antibiotic stewardship” approach—choosing and adjusting antibiotics in a smarter way—for a first episode of pneumonia in patients on a breathing machine. It may help ensure the right antibiotics are used at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary or overly broad treatment.
Clichy-sous-BoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06902350RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental drug CS231295 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called CS231295 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The purpose is to study safety and find out if the drug can shrink tumors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06841822Recruiting
Nerve blocks for lung surgery: a study on heart function
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04375280Recruiting
Study of mobility problems in people with long-term illnesses
This study observes how people with chronic health conditions affect their ability to move and do everyday activities. It may help researchers better understand mobility limits and what factors influence them.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–90 - NCT07051902Recruiting
Microbiome and Atopy in Mali
This study is looking at how the natural bacteria on our skin and in our gut relate to eczema and asthma in people living in Mali. It will compare people with these conditions to healthy volunteers to learn more about what might cause them.
BamakoAges 3 years+ - NCT07052942RecruitingPhase 4
Asthma treatment personalization in primary care
This study tests whether adding a long-term, low-dose antibiotic (azithromycin) to your usual asthma treatment can help improve control and reduce attacks. It is for people whose asthma is still not well controlled despite using a daily inhaler.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 13–75 - NCT07050043RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose nivolumab plus chemo vs standard chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab combined with standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not been treated before.
Alor Star, KedahAges 18 years+ - NCT07051044Recruiting
Cheek swab light test for lung cancer risk
This trial uses a simple cheek swab and a special light test to look for signs of lung cancer risk. It aims to help doctors decide who needs more testing, especially if you have symptoms or are currently being checked for lung cancer.
North ShieldsAges 18 years+ - NCT07052396Recruiting
Dupilumab for COPD: long-term real-world study
This study looks at how well dupilumab works over time for people with COPD who still have symptoms despite standard treatments and who have a certain type of inflammation (elevated eosinophils). It uses data from regular doctor visits and patient questionnaires to understand real-world benefits and safety.
AuerbachAges 18 years+ - NCT07047690RecruitingPhase 2
