Chest Radiation for Advanced Lung Cancer at High Risk of Symptoms
This study tests whether giving radiation to tumors in the chest soon after starting systemic therapy can help prevent symptoms like pain, trouble breathing, or bleeding. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that does not have certain gene changes and has high-risk tumors in the chest.

Safety study of a new drug in healthy volunteers
This study tests a new investigational drug called SV001 in healthy volunteers to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. It is a first-in-human trial, meaning this drug has not been tested in people before.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT06269211RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) before surgery can help people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, PD-L1 positive) that can be removed. The goal is to see if it improves treatment results compared to surgery alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06270199RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for lung disease in preterm infants
This trial tests if stem cells can help premature babies with severe lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia). It is for very small, early-born babies who still need a breathing machine between 5 and 14 days after birth.
Pozuelo de Alarcón, MadridAges 1 month–6 months - NCT06271213Recruiting
Gut-lung study for children with breathing problems
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
GlasgowAges birth–16 years - NCT06272864Recruiting
A study looking at genetics of certain advanced cancers
This study tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
Rogers, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06273072RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin for asthma in overweight adults
This trial tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help people with asthma who are also overweight or obese. The goal is to see if it improves asthma control and reduces the need for rescue medications.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06274840Recruiting
