A new treatment for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has not been treated before.

Study of How Breathing Tubes and Patients Work Together
This study looks at recordings from patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital to understand when the machine and patient's breathing don't sync up, and whether this affects how well patients do. Researchers will review your medical records and machine data that were already collected during your hospital stay.
