Breathing support for kids with Down syndrome and sleep apnea
This trial looks at how well non-invasive breathing machines help children with Down syndrome who have obstructive sleep apnea. It tracks their health and sleep over time to see if the treatment works and improves daily life.
DublinAges 6 months–16 years - NCT05756582Recruiting
Screening for hidden TB infection in hospital staff and students
This trial checks hospital workers and certain medical students to see how many have “latent TB,” meaning TB bacteria in the body that may not cause symptoms. The goal is to better understand who might need follow-up and prevention.
RomaAges 18–72 - NCT05315752Recruiting
Body fat changes after CPAP-treated sleep apnea improves
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may change body fat and body shape in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who use CPAP. It aims to understand what may improve when sleep apnea is better controlled after surgery.
BrusselsAges 18–99 - NCT06257329Recruiting
Studying severe COPD flare-ups in the ICU
This trial is looking at patients with a serious worsening of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need intensive care. It aims to gather information to help improve treatment for these severe episodes.

Camrelizumab plus chemo before surgery for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests adding the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab to standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with stage IIIA-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors more effectively before removal.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05638724Recruiting
Long COVID health registry for people of all ages
This study builds a health registry to learn how long COVID affects children, teens, and adults over time. It may help by improving understanding of symptoms and care, even if it does not test a new drug.
Munich, BavariaAges Any age - NCT07128199RecruitingPhase 3
Zipalertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer with uncommon EGFR mutations
This study tests whether taking zipalertinib after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back in people whose tumors have uncommon EGFR gene changes. It is a pill taken daily after recovery from surgery.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07868419RecruitingPhase 3
Nalbuphine tablets for chronic cough in pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests an extended-release tablet called nalbuphine to reduce chronic coughing in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung condition that causes scarring and often leads to a persistent cough. If you have IPF and have been coughing for at least 8 weeks, this study may help manage that symptom.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 40 years+ - NCT06262386Recruiting
Predicting lung cancer return after surgery
This study tests a new way to predict if non-small cell lung cancer will return after surgery. You will give blood samples to look for cancer cells, and the team will build a model to help plan better follow-up care.
Taoyuan CityAges 20–90 - NCT06255197Recruiting

It aims to improve treatment effectiveness by shrinking the tumor before surgery and helping prevent it from coming back afterward.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT05965024Recruiting
Using ctDNA blood tests to predict lung cancer return after surgery
This study checks whether a special blood test (ctDNA) taken before and after surgery can predict whether non-small cell lung cancer will come back. If it works, it may help doctors spot recurrence earlier and guide follow-up care after tumor removal.
