ParisAges 18–84 - NCT07044830Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.

Abdominal binder study for premature babies on breathing support
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder can help premature babies who need breathing support breathe more comfortably and may reduce the time they need the support. It is for babies born very early who are expected to need CPAP for at least two weeks.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT07052604Recruiting
Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07051954Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for long COVID recovery
This study tests a special breathing and muscle training program to help people with long COVID feel better and move more easily. The training is designed to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe and to improve your daily function.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07051967Recruiting
Comparing recovery after ICU for pregnant and non-pregnant COVID-19 patients
This study looks at how COVID-19 and respiratory failure affect recovery after intensive care. It compares pregnant patients to non-pregnant patients to learn more about the long-term effects.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07047573Recruiting
Better testing for lung nodules to tell benign from cancer
This study uses advanced testing methods on lung nodules to better tell if they are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It may help improve diagnosis for people scheduled for surgery to remove a lung nodule.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT07048275Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality training for caregivers of children with pneumonia
This trial tests whether a virtual reality (VR) training tool can help caregivers learn chest tapping (percussion) for children with pneumonia, reduce caregiver stress, and improve teaching. If you are a caregiver for a child with pneumonia and meet the health and language requirements, you may be able to join.
YuanlinAges Up to 17 years - NCT07051980RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen through a tube above the voice box for sedated ERCP
This study tests a new way to deliver oxygen during a sedated ERCP, using a thin tube placed above the voice box instead of a breathing tube. It aims to see if this method is safe and practical for people having this procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07050056RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus radiation before lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether giving a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and chest radiation before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer. The goal is to find out if this approach helps shrink the tumor and makes surgery more effective.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT07048574Recruiting
Mood and behavior in children with cystic fibrosis
This study looks at mood and behavior in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) under 12. By following children over time, researchers hope to better understand and help with depression, anxiety, and behavior challenges that may come up.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 1.5 years–11 years - NCT07048418Recruiting
Nose job results in adults born with a cleft lip and palate
This trial asks adults who had a nose job as teens or children, after being born with a cleft lip and palate, to rate how they look and feel about their nose. Their answers will help doctors understand how these surgeries affect patients long-term.
MontpellierAges 18–30 - NCT07045948Recruiting
Tracking lung health trends in COPD with breath tests
This study checks how exhaled breath changes over 6-month visits in people with COPD, to see if it can help track lung health over time. It may help find new ways to monitor your condition without invasive tests.
JetteAges 40 years+ - NCT07048236Recruiting
Lung cancer screening study for smokers and families
This study is for people at high risk of lung cancer—either long-term heavy smokers or those with a close family member who had lung cancer. It uses a low-dose CT scan to look for early signs of lung cancer, and if you smoke, you'll be asked to join a smoking cessation program.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 20–74 - NCT07046910RecruitingPhase 2
MRI to detect lung rejection after transplant
This study uses a special MRI scan (called hyperpolarized gas MRI) to check for signs of lung rejection after a transplant. The goal is to see if the MRI can help detect rejection earlier and more safely than standard bronchoscopy alone.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–80 - NCT07050823Recruiting
Studying chronic breathing issues and other health problems
This trial looks at how long-term health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure might affect breathing problems. The goal is to better understand and help people with both issues.
São Carlos, São PauloAges 30 years+ - NCT07052669RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter Chemo-Radiation Plus Immunotherapy for Stage III Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new schedule of chemo-radiation (fewer, stronger sessions) followed by an immunotherapy drug called tislelizumab. The goal is to see if this approach works better than the standard longer schedule for people with stage III lung cancer that can't be surgically removed.

This Phase 2 study tests whether using an inflatable air bag can improve how well the lungs stretch and work for people with ARDS while they are lying face-down (prone) on a ventilator. If you qualify, the study may help determine whether this positioning support improves breathing and lung comfort.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06523959RecruitingPhase 4
