Lung cancer surgery with removal of lymph nodes on the other side
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes from the opposite side of the chest during surgery can help people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest. It may offer a more thorough treatment for patients who are healthy enough for surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07003646Recruiting
Treating acute pulmonary embolism with clot-dissolving or catheter procedures
This study looks at how well different treatments work for a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism). It includes people who are getting or have already gotten a clot-dissolving medicine or a catheter procedure to remove the clot.

Yes-Can! program to prevent youth vaping
This study tests a program called YES-CAN! that aims to keep middle and high school students from starting to vape nicotine. If you are a student in grades 6-12, or an adult working in a school, you may be able to join.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 9 years+ - NCT07012967Recruiting
Taping for breathing and sleep in obesity
This study tests whether kinesio taping improves breathing and sleep quality in people who are overweight or have class 1 or 2 obesity. You will wear a special tape on your body to see if it helps you breathe better and sleep well.
IstanbulAges 18–70 - NCT07012304RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing gecacitinib for chronic graft-versus-host disease after 2 or more treatments
This trial tests a new drug, gecacitinib, for patients with moderate to severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that has not improved after 2 to 5 prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06199895RecruitingPhase 2
Study of paclitaxel for patients with taxane-resistant solid tumors
This trial tests paclitaxel given as tiny micelle particles for people whose cancer (pancreatic, bile duct, lung, stomach, esophagus, or breast) stopped responding to taxane chemotherapy or did not shrink. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard taxanes no longer work.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT07001696Recruiting
Predicting breathing support needs with chest X-ray and blood gas
This trial looks at whether combining a chest X-ray and a blood gas test can help doctors decide if a critically ill patient needs a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to find a better way to make this important decision.
Zagazig, Al SharqiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06994650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS9531 for sleep apnea and obesity
This trial tests an injection called HRS9531 to see if it helps people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity who already use a CPAP or similar breathing device. It may help by reducing weight and improving breathing during sleep.
