Testing early stopping of MRSA antibiotics for pneumonia
This trial tests whether a simple nasal swab can help doctors safely stop unnecessary MRSA antibiotics sooner in people with pneumonia. If the swab shows no MRSA, the antibiotic can be stopped early, which may reduce side effects and drug resistance.

Breathing exercises after heart valve surgery
This trial tests two breathing exercises (Triflow and deep breathing with cough) to see if they help patients recover lung function after mitral valve replacement surgery. It may help you breathe better after your procedure.

Calella, BarcelonaAges 65 years+ - NCT06988943Recruiting
Finding lung cancer early with CT screening in Guangzhou communities
This study is testing a way to find lung cancer early by offering free CT scans to people in certain communities in Guangzhou. It helps catch cancer before symptoms start.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–74 - NCT07022834RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for high-risk LCH in children
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapy (dabrafenib or trametinib) with chemotherapy (clofarabine) for children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) that is high-risk, has come back, or is not responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.
Chengdu, SichuanAges birth–18 years - NCT07018024Recruiting
Study for anti-GBM disease patients
This study looks at people with anti-GBM disease, a rare kidney condition, to learn more about the disease and its treatment. If you were diagnosed between 2010 and 2027, or have stored blood or urine samples from your diagnosis, you might be able to join.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT07015216Recruiting
Virtual reality training for COPD patients
This study tests if virtual reality combined with physical and mental tasks can improve muscle oxygen levels in people with COPD. It aims to find a more engaging way to help you exercise and feel better.
IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07015749RecruitingPhase 1
IBI3002 for moderate to severe asthma
This trial tests a new drug called IBI3002 for people with moderate to severe asthma that isn't well controlled with standard inhalers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and tolerable when given multiple times.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT07016022Recruiting
Heart and lung test before chest surgery helps predict risks
This study checks if a simple test of your heart and breathing before chest surgery can help predict problems after the operation. It looks at people having surgery for lung, esophagus, stomach, or chest tumors.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07018856Recruiting
Can beginners detect collapsed lung after heart surgery via ultrasound?
This trial tests whether a beginner (like a nurse or trainee) can use an ultrasound to safely detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery when the chest tubes are removed. It could make care faster and safer for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07014202RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation therapy after chemo-immunotherapy for lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation to remaining spots of lung cancer (after standard treatment) can help prevent cancer from growing back. It may be an option if you have had 4-6 cycles of chemo plus immunotherapy and still have a few active spots.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07019636Recruiting
Direct extubation vs. extubation after a breathing trial
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) in patients who are ready to breathe on their own: taking the tube out right away, or doing a trial of breathing without the machine first. It is for people who are at low risk of needing the tube put back in.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT07015892RecruitingPhase 3
Higher radiation dose for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation therapy for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (cancer that hasn't spread beyond the chest). It aims to see if the higher dose works better than the standard dose at controlling the cancer.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07015151Recruiting
Mobile lung cancer screening for smokers and former smokers
This trial uses a mobile unit to screen people at high risk for lung cancer. It aims to catch the disease early, when it's easier to treat.
Pierre-BéniteAges 50–75 - NCT07013903Recruiting
Hydrotherapy for post-COVID recovery
This trial tests if Kneipp hydrotherapy (a type of water treatment) helps people recover from post-COVID syndrome. You would receive this therapy during a rehabilitation stay and answer questions on your smartphone.
Schönau am Königssee, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07016685Recruiting
ECMO outcomes after emergency chest surgery
This study looks at how well patients recover after needing a heart-lung bypass machine (VV-ECMO) during or right after emergency chest surgery. It aims to understand what affects their prognosis.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07016126RecruitingPhase 3
Study of D-BACE, chemo, and carlizumab for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new drug (D-BACE), chemotherapy, and carlizumab for people with a certain type and stage of lung cancer that can be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07017608Recruiting
Breathing effort before and after tube removal
