A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06526533RecruitingPhase 3
Red blood cell transfusion thresholds for ECMO patients
This trial is testing whether a higher or lower threshold for red blood cell transfusions is better for people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine). It aims to find the safest way to manage transfusions during ECMO treatment.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges Any age - NCT06526598Recruiting
Breathing support tailored to your effort in the ICU
This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06526923RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing SP-101 gene therapy for cystic fibrosis
This trial tests a new gene therapy called SP-101 for cystic fibrosis. It aims to see if SP-101 is safe and effective for improving lung function.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–65 - NCT06527612Recruiting
Exercise's effect on lung disease and quality of life
This study looks at whether a personalized exercise program can improve quality of life and slow down lung disease in people with fibrosing interstitial lung disease. If you have trouble breathing when active and have been stable for the past month, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18–75 - NCT06527898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Short-course radiation plus immunotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This study tests using a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) combined with immunotherapy for people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works better at controlling the cancer and may cause fewer side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06528171Recruiting
Long COVID immunity and imaging study
This trial studies people who had COVID-19 to understand why some develop long-term symptoms while others recover fully. It aims to find links between the immune system and brain changes using imaging.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06528444RecruitingPhase 3
Dexamethasone vs placebo for severe flu patients
This trial tests whether dexamethasone (a steroid) can help people hospitalized with severe flu recover faster. It is for adults who are already taking Tamiflu and do not have other serious infections like COVID-19.
AlicanteAges 18–100 - NCT06528418Recruiting
Breath test to find lung diseases
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT06528847RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant Benmelstobart for stage IB, grade 3 lung adenocarcinoma
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug Benmelstobart after surgery can help prevent return of a specific type of lung cancer. It is for people with stage IB, grade 3 (poorly differentiated) lung adenocarcinoma that has been completely removed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT06529081Recruiting
Radiation schedule for advanced small-cell lung cancer after chemo-immunotherapy
This study tests a specific radiation schedule (15 sessions to the chest and up to 3 sessions to other spots) for people with advanced small-cell lung cancer that responded to first-line chemo combined with immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this radiation approach can improve control of the disease.
LublinAges 18 years+ - NCT06529185Recruiting
Breathing device for COPD patients with leg pain
This trial tests if a breathing device (Breather) can help men with COPD who also have leg pain from blocked leg arteries (intermittent claudication) walk farther without pain. If you have both conditions, this study may offer a new way to improve your walking ability.
