Comparing two breathing exercises for asthma patients
This trial tests whether two different types of breathing and exercise programs—called MDRT and CEE—can improve lung function, chest expansion, and asthma control in people with asthma.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–60 - NCT06461884Recruiting
Percussion and breathing exercises for pneumonia recovery
This study tests whether combining chest percussion (gentle tapping on the chest) with deep breathing exercises helps clear mucus from the lungs in people aged 40-60 who have pneumonia. It may help you breathe easier and recover faster.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06462287RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a substance P blocker for high blood pressure and sleep apnea
This study tests if a drug that blocks substance P can lower a hormone called aldosterone in people with both severe sleep apnea and high blood pressure. If you have these conditions, this trial may help find a new treatment option.
Rouen, FranceAges 18–75 - NCT06462417Recruiting

Preventing GvHD after stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a common complication after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a stem cell transplant from a half-matched family member or unrelated donor.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463561RecruitingPhase 4

This study tests if CPAP therapy can improve cholesterol and uric acid levels in people with both high cholesterol and moderate to severe sleep apnea. It may help if you have sleep apnea and are looking for additional ways to manage your lipid levels.
Coslada, MadridAges 35–80 - NCT06463665RecruitingPhase 2
Virus therapy with chemo and immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463756Recruiting
AI Predicts Thyroid Cartilage Invasion in Laryngeal Cancer
This study uses AI to analyze CT scans and predict if laryngeal cancer has spread to the thyroid cartilage. It may help doctors plan better treatment without needing extra invasive procedures.
ChongqingAges 18–81 - NCT06464757Recruiting
Laryngomalacia and breathing in children: before and after treatment study
This trial is for children with laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box) who have noisy breathing and trouble breathing. It will check how they are doing before and after treatment, and follow up for one year to see how their quality of life improves.
OsloAges 1 week–12 months - NCT06464926Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for chronic nausea and vomiting
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your stomach to help with chronic nausea and vomiting. It is for people who have had nausea for over 6 months, have normal stomach emptying, and have not found relief from standard medications.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06465277Recruiting
Heart MRI and stress test after lung or esophagus surgery
This study uses a heart MRI with a stress medication to see how well the right side of the heart pumps after lung or upper digestive surgery. It may help doctors understand heart recovery after these operations.
Belfast, Northern IrelandAges 18 years+ - NCT06466629Recruiting
Best timing for the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy
This study tests when during pregnancy it is best to get the Tdap (whooping cough) vaccine. It aims to protect both mother and baby from whooping cough in the first months after birth.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06466980Recruiting
Study of ventilator-related events after cardiac arrest
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.
Corbeil-EssonnesAges 18 years+ - NCT06467383Recruiting
Study of lung cancer care after surgery or radiation
This study is looking back at the medical records of people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had surgery or radiation therapy between 2018 and 2019. The goal is to understand how patients were diagnosed and treated, which may help improve care for others in the future.
San Giovanni Rotondo, FGAges 18 years+ - NCT06467500RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab plus chemo for lung cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a new drug called cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer who have already tried and failed immunotherapy. It aims to see if this combination can help when standard immunotherapy no longer works.
YichangAges 18–75 - NCT06467617RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) plus chemotherapy and another drug (recaticimab) before and after surgery for people with stage II or III lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06467786RecruitingPhase 4
Irinotecan liposomes for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial is testing a new form of chemotherapy called irinotecan liposomes for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and improve survival.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06467864Recruiting
Predicting lung infection outcomes using early bacteria tests
This trial tests a new way to predict how well patients with a ventilator-associated lung infection will respond to treatment. It uses two bronchoscopy samples to track bacteria levels and guide better care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06470607Recruiting
