Collecting tissue and fluid samples for ear, nose, and throat research
This study collects samples like tissue, blood, or saliva from people with hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, or language problems, as well as from healthy volunteers. The samples help researchers better understand these conditions and develop new ways to diagnose or treat them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT06304207Recruiting
Study comparing remote vs in-person exercise for lung disease
This study tests whether a telehealth exercise program works as well as in-person sessions for people with chronic lung disease. You may join if you recently finished rehab for your lung condition and can walk with or without help.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06305715RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before targeted therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests if giving radiation to the main lung tumor before starting a targeted therapy pill can help delay the cancer from growing. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic change and who have not had targeted therapy before.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06305962RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced PD-L1 positive solid tumors
This trial tests a radioactive medicine (177Lu-anti-PD-L1 sdAb) that delivers radiation to cancer cells with PD-L1 protein, which is found on some solid tumors. It is for people whose cancer has spread or come back after standard treatments.
