MRD blood test to guide treatment in lung cancer
This trial uses a blood test (ctDNA and CTC) to check for minimal residual disease (MRD) after treatment for stage IIA-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if MRD can help predict whether the cancer will come back and guide decisions on extra treatment to prevent recurrence.

Exercise in low oxygen for young men
This study tests whether exercising in a low-oxygen environment (like high altitude) can affect stress, inflammation, and energy in your body. It is for young males who are generally healthy and can exercise safely.
KrakowAges 19–29 - NCT05011487RecruitingPhase 2
Before-surgery osimertinib plus chemotherapy for EGFR lung cancer
This study tests whether giving osimertinib together with chemotherapy before surgery can shrink and control EGFR-mutant, stage III lung cancer so it can be fully removed. If it works, it may improve the chances that the cancer does not come back after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06047496RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Time-restricted eating for sleep apnea
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter daily window can improve health in people with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You would eat all your meals within a set number of hours each day while tracking your progress on your smartphone.

Detecting lung cancer in non-smokers through urine
This study uses a simple urine test to help detect lung cancer in people who have never smoked but have a lung spot (nodule) on their CT scan. It may lead to a new, non-invasive way to check for cancer without needing a biopsy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07855679Recruiting
Pulmonary embolism tracking from emergency care to long-term follow-up
This study follows people who have had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) to understand their health over time and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment but collects information to learn more about recovery.

Profiles of immune cells in severe Pseudomonas sepsis
This study looks at patterns of immune cells in people who are critically ill with sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. It may help doctors better understand how the immune system responds and improve care for this serious infection.
UlmAges 18–90 - NCT06061562Recruiting
Sleep Apnea and Activity in Down Syndrome
This trial looks at whether physical activity can help improve sleep apnea in people with Down syndrome. It aims to find better ways to manage breathing problems during sleep.
La TroncheAges 6 years+ - NCT05191381Recruiting
Immune treatment using exosome therapy for severe COVID-19
This trial tests whether immune-supporting treatment made from exosomes can help people with critically severe COVID-19 and lung damage. If you qualify, you may receive this therapy as part of the study to see if it improves outcomes.
UlmAges 18–90 - NCT05898269Recruiting
Predicting fluid needs while lying face down in ARDS
This study tests a way to predict whether you will benefit from a fluid bolus (a small amount of IV fluid) while you are lying face down for ARDS. It uses continuous heart monitoring to guide or evaluate fluid decisions and may help clinicians avoid too much or too little fluid.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05969041RecruitingPhase 1
Early-phase drug trial for advanced epithelial cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a new drug (MT-302) in adults with advanced or metastatic epithelial cancers that have worsened or stopped responding to standard treatment. The goal is to see how the drug works and whether it is safe for people with limited options.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06135909Recruiting
CHASE registry for pulmonary hypertension patients on treatment
This study is a registry that collects information on people with pulmonary hypertension who are using or starting targeted medications. The goal is to understand how these treatments work in real-world settings and improve care for patients like you.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT06216782Recruiting
Neoadjuvant therapy for lung cancer: a real-world study
This study observes patients with lung cancer who receive neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery) to understand how well it works in everyday medical practice.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05311072Recruiting
Update a CTEPH patient database in China
This study helps doctors update and improve how they understand chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in patients in China. It likely involves sharing your medical information (not a new drug) and confirming your diagnosis details to support future research.
BeijingAges 14 years+ - NCT06007261Recruiting
Testing a new microscope for lung cancer diagnosis
This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06229340RecruitingPhase 2
Two drug combinations for advanced cancer with RAS mutations
This trial tests two different treatment combinations (leflunomide alone or with MEK inhibitor and hydroxychloroquine) in people with advanced cancer that has a RAS mutation and has not responded to at least two prior therapies.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–85 - NCT07860411Recruiting
Biomarker study for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps
This study looks for certain markers in your blood and nasal tissue that may be linked to chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to more targeted treatments in the future.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT07856225Recruiting
Breast cancer outcomes by tumor type
This study looks at how different types of breast cancer respond to treatment. It reviews medical records of patients treated at a specific hospital to understand outcomes better.

Test drug for EGFR-mutant lung cancer without prior treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies TY-9591 in people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific EGFR gene changes. It’s for those who haven’t had earlier medicines for advanced lung cancer, and it aims to see if the drug works better or safer than the comparison treatment.
