New drug for mesothelioma that has returned after prior treatment
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab for people with pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining) that has grown back after earlier immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug may help by blocking a protein that tumors use to hide from the immune system, possibly slowing or shrinking the cancer.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06840288Recruiting
Lung tumor ablation registry study
This study tracks patients with small lung tumors that are treated with a robotic bronchoscope to destroy the tumor using heat. It aims to learn how well this procedure works over time.

A blood test to help diagnose risky lung nodules
This trial uses a simple blood test to look at certain genetic markers that may help doctors decide if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It is designed for people who have a lung nodule that needs further testing like a biopsy or surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06839248Recruiting
Fasting before procedures with GLP-1 meds
This study looks at whether people taking weekly GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Wegovy) should follow standard fasting rules or a 24-hour clear liquid diet before a procedure. The goal is to find the safest way to prepare.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06838208RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo and radiation for first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This study tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy followed by targeted chest radiation as the first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding radiation after chemo-immunotherapy works better than standard treatment alone.

Testing AWT020 for advanced cancers
This study tests an experimental drug called AWT020 in people with advanced cancers that have either stopped responding to standard treatments or aren't candidates for them. The goal is to see if AWT020 is safe and tolerable across several cancer types such as lung cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and others.

Non-invasive ventilation in Argentine ICUs: an observational study
This study looks at how non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or machine) is used in ICUs across Argentina. It helps doctors understand patterns of care so they can improve treatment for patients with breathing problems.
CABA, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06835842Recruiting
Rib mobilization for pneumonia patients on a ventilator
This study tests whether a gentle rib movement technique (called rib mobilization) can help people with pneumonia who are on a breathing machine get ready to breathe on their own. It aims to see if this therapy makes it easier to wean off the ventilator.
CairoAges 40–50 - NCT06844344Recruiting
Testing cryo biopsies for lung lesions
This trial compares a new method called cryo biopsy to standard forceps biopsy for diagnosing lung lesions. It may help get better tissue samples with fewer procedures.
Næstved, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06844331Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound for lung disease testing
This study tests if ultrasound can help evaluate patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring). It aims to see if ultrasound is a useful tool for checking your condition.
Odense, Southern DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06840782RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus local treatments for early spread lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding local treatments like radiation or surgery to standard immunotherapy can help people with lung cancer that has spread to a few spots. It aims to see if this combination improves control of the disease.
Creil, Hauts-de-FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06845618Recruiting
Blood test to monitor tuberculosis treatment
This study is looking at how a simple blood test can help monitor tuberculosis (TB) treatment. It may help doctors know sooner if the treatment is working.
TakAges 18 years+ - NCT06841341Enrolling by invitation
Predicting breathing problems in ALS
This study uses ultrasound and electrical tests of breathing muscles and nerves to see if they can predict breathing failure in people with ALS. This could help doctors know when a patient might need breathing support.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18–80 - NCT06838442Recruiting
Exercise and airway clearance education for NTM lung disease
This trial studies whether a program of exercise and airway clearance education helps people with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease. It aims to improve breathing and quality of life.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT06840704RecruitingPhase 3
Can immunonutrition reduce esophagitis during lung cancer radiation?
This trial tests if a special nutritional supplement (immunonutrition) can lower the risk of severe throat and chest irritation (esophagitis) caused by radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may qualify if you are about to start chest radiation and can eat normally.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06837181Recruiting
Understanding diabetes complications in cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how long-term diabetes affects people with cystic fibrosis. It helps researchers understand complications and improve care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12 years+ - NCT06836830Recruiting
Comparing Two Ventilator Settings After Cardiac Arrest
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine for people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It looks at whether using a small amount of extra pressure (called PEEP) improves outcomes compared to using no extra pressure (ZEEP).
Gütersloh, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06841913RecruitingPhase 4
Woodsmoke, flu, and your nasal immune response
This study tests how breathing woodsmoke affects your nose's ability to fight off the flu virus. You will be exposed to woodsmoke and then given a live flu vaccine to see how your immune system responds.
