Breathing, balance, and walking after stroke
This study looks at how breathing muscle function relates to balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help find new ways to improve recovery.
Istanbul, BüyükçekmeceAges 18–80 - NCT06752395Enrolling by invitation
Freezing vs. forceps biopsy for small lung nodules
This trial compares two ways of taking a tissue sample from a small lung nodule: traditional forceps (like tiny tweezers) versus a newer freezing method (cryobiopsy). It will help find out which technique is better at getting enough tissue for diagnosis with fewer side effects.
BusanAges 18 years+ - NCT06751602Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Belumosudil to prevent kidney scarring after transplant
This trial tests whether a drug called belumosudil can reduce scarring in the kidney after transplant. Scarring can lead to kidney damage over time, and this study aims to stop that from happening.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06750536Recruiting
Safety study of a new lung support device for small children
This trial is testing a new device (MiniLung Petite Kit) for babies and young children with severe lung or heart failure. The device helps oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide, giving the lungs and heart a chance to rest and heal.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Up to 8 months - NCT06758401RecruitingPhase 3
Study of combination treatment for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a new combination of two medicines (sigvotatug vedotin and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has high levels of a protein called PD-L1. The treatment is designed to help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively, and this study aims to see how well it works.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06759857Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
New drug vs. afatinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial compares a new drug (FHND9041) to a standard targeted therapy (afatinib) for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation. It aims to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 1.5 years+ - NCT06752122RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of RCS-21 in healthy volunteers
This study is testing a new inhaled drug called RCS-21 in healthy volunteers to see if it's safe and how the body handles it. You will be closely monitored and may receive either the drug or a placebo.
HanoverAges 18–64 - NCT06750185RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BNT317 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called BNT317 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective in shrinking tumors.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06756035RecruitingPhase 1
