Measuring muscle in COPD patients starting rehab
This trial uses a special device to measure muscle mass and stiffness in the thigh to see if it helps track recovery during pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD.
Le HavreAges 18 years+ - NCT06996665Recruiting
High-flow nasal cannula based on diaphragm ultrasound
This study uses ultrasound to match high-flow oxygen settings to your diaphragm's movement. It looks at how breathing muscles respond at different flow rates to give you the best support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06997458Enrolling by invitation
Liquid biopsy study for advanced lung or colon cancer
This study is testing a simple blood draw (liquid biopsy) to track advanced lung or colon cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better without needing repeated tissue biopsies.
Granada, AndalusiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06998329Recruiting
PAH diagnosis timing study
This study looks at the timing between first symptoms and diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It aims to better understand how quickly patients get diagnosed after symptoms appear.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07001618RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether taking an oral fecal transplant (MaaT033) along with the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab can help people whose lung cancer stopped responding after antibiotics. It's for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer got worse after standard immunotherapy.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07002710Recruiting
Long-term ventilation and inflammation study
This study looks at how long-term inflammation affects the breathing of people who have been on a ventilator for 10 days or more. It aims to help doctors better understand and support your recovery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06996834Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods for pneumonia-related breathing failure
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT07000604Recruiting
How inhaler use affects oral health in COPD patients
This study looks at how using a metered dose inhaler (a common type of inhaler) might impact your mouth and teeth if you have COPD. It aims to help understand and improve oral care for people using these inhalers.
ÇankırıAges 35–80 - NCT06999577RecruitingPhase 4
The Mechanism Versus PPI Trial for throat reflux
This study tests how well omeprazole (a common acid-blocking medicine) works for people with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), a condition where stomach acid irritates the throat. If you have had throat symptoms for more than 8 weeks and are already scheduled for an endoscopy with acid monitoring, you may qualify to see if this medicine helps more than a placebo.
San Deigo, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT06996756RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
This trial tests a gene therapy for people with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency who have mild to moderate lung disease. The aim is to see if the treatment can improve lung health and is safe.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06998550Recruiting
Patient experiences after pulmonary rehab in Türkiye
This study asks people who have finished a pulmonary rehab program (a supervised exercise and education program for lung conditions) to share their experiences. Your answers will help improve how rehab teams work in Türkiye.
