Testing a new PET scan for lung scarring
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan (FAPI PET) to help doctors see if lung scarring (fibrosis) is getting worse or getting better. It may help decide if a treatment change is needed.

Tracking causes of lung flare-ups in cystic fibrosis
This study aims to understand what causes and increases the risk of lung infections (exacerbations) in people with cystic fibrosis. It involves regular monitoring and sample collection at home and in the clinic to identify early warning signs.
Manchester, ManchesterAges 5 years+ - NCT06931938Recruiting
Awake Prone Position for Pneumonia and Low Oxygen
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach while awake (called awake prone positioning) can help people with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels in the ICU. It aims to see if this simple position change can improve breathing and avoid the need for a breathing machine.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06940661RecruitingPhase 2
Obinutuzumab for relapsing vasculitis
This trial tests a drug called obinutuzumab to see if it can help people whose vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) has come back after previous treatment. It is designed for people with a specific type of vasculitis that affects small blood vessels and is linked to PR3-ANCA antibodies.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06934343Recruiting
Personalized therapy for advanced lung cancer using data
This trial uses real-world data to study how to personalize treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It looks at medical records from 2011 to 2024 to find the best therapy approaches.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges Any age - NCT06933173Recruiting
Mind-body therapy for Long COVID and ME/CFS
This trial tests whether a specific mind-body program can help people with Long COVID or ME/CFS feel better. It compares the program to standard care to see if it improves symptoms like fatigue and brain fog.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06937320Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing ketone supplements for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
This study tests whether a special dietary supplement (ketone esters) can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You might join if you have stable symptoms, an ejection fraction of 50% or higher, and signs of fluid buildup in the heart.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06940505Recruiting
Follow-up from home for early larynx cancer
This trial tests if follow-up appointments from home, using video calls, work just as well as in-person visits for people treated for early-stage larynx cancer. It may save you time and travel.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06940180RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery for sinus cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) plus chemotherapy before surgery for sinus cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor so surgery can be more effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06939361Enrolling by invitation
Tube size study during emergency breathing tube placement
This trial compares different sizes of breathing tubes used in emergencies to see which works best. It helps doctors choose the right tube for patients who need help breathing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06935084Recruiting
Voice app for asthma management study
This study tests if a voice-controlled smartphone app (like Siri or Alexa) can help people with asthma manage their daily controller medicine better. You might be a good fit if you use a daily asthma inhaler and have a smartphone with a data plan.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06152744Recruiting
Testing ECMO lung function at high altitude
This study looks at how well the ECMO machine works in high-altitude areas. It tests the oxygen exchange in the machine to help improve care for patients at high elevations.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05822869Recruiting
Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06205927RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon Ion Boost for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy (carbon ion boost) to people with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. The goal is to see if targeting the most aggressive parts of the tumor with a higher dose can improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06775678RecruitingPhase 2
Spatial fragmentation plus low-dose radiation for resistant lung cancer
This study tests whether combining a special type of radiation (spatial fragmentation) with low-dose radiation can help people whose lung cancer stopped responding to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. If you are eligible, you may receive a new treatment approach to try to shrink the tumors.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06714513RecruitingPhase 1
TB vaccine study in older adults aged 55 to 74
This study tests a new tuberculosis (TB) vaccine (ID93+GLA-SE) in healthy adults aged 55 to 74. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and can help protect against TB, especially in people who may have latent (inactive) TB infection.
Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi-doAges 55–74 - NCT05739617Recruiting
Breathing and sleep training for people with sleep apnea
This trial tests a comprehensive breathing and respiratory exercise program for newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help by improving sleep breathing and reducing apnea-related symptoms. You may be eligible if you recently learned you have OSA and meet age and health criteria.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–65 - NCT05896800Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide for moderate to severe COPD symptoms
This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can improve outcomes in people with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help reduce breathing problems by targeting how airways and blood vessels respond in the lungs.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–75 - NCT06386185Recruiting
Using heart tests to better detect pulmonary hypertension
This trial uses data from standard heart tests to develop a better way to detect pulmonary hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to help doctors diagnose this condition earlier and more accurately.
