Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06626438Recruiting
Treating lung scarring by focusing on each person's problems
This study looks at how to better treat different types of lung scarring (fibrotic ILD) by focusing on each person's specific problems. It is for adults who are already being treated for a fibrotic ILD at one of two hospitals in Perth, Australia.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06627738RecruitingPhase 2
Extra radiation boost for advanced lung cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation boost (CyberKnife) after standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is for those who have already completed two cycles of induction chemo and at least 40 Gy of radiation with chemo.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06628102Recruiting
Breath test for early lung cancer detection
This study tests a breath test to detect lung cancer early in people with a lung nodule found on a CT scan. It aims to improve detection in diverse populations.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 50–80 - NCT06628531Recruiting
Lung health in patients with severe brain bleed
This trial looks at how a severe brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) might affect lung function and hyaluronic acid buildup in the lungs. It aims to find better ways to protect breathing for patients in the intensive care unit.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT06629675Recruiting
Personalized music to boost walking in COPD
This study tests whether a personalized music program can help people with COPD walk more and feel better. The music changes based on your walking speed to keep you motivated during a pulmonary rehab program.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06630611RecruitingPhase 2
A new immune cell therapy for melanoma, lung, and cervical cancer
This trial tests a new way to boost your immune cells after they are collected from your tumor and grown in a lab. Instead of high-dose IL-2, you would get a modified version called ANV419, which may have fewer side effects.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06631261Recruiting
Stepper test for lung and heart health in bronchiectasis
This study compares how the heart and lungs respond to a 6-minute stepper exercise in people with bronchiectasis versus healthy adults. It aims to better understand the physical impact of bronchiectasis on daily activities.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06631287RecruitingPhase 3
Testing baricitinib for persistent long COVID symptoms
This trial tests whether the anti-inflammatory drug baricitinib can improve persistent long COVID symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath. You may qualify if you had COVID-19 at least 6 months ago and still have bothersome symptoms that affect your daily life.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06632262RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drugs for cancers with FGFR gene changes
This trial tests two new drugs, ABSK061 and ABSK043, in people whose cancers have specific changes in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 genes. It may be an option if your cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments or if no standard treatment is available.

AI study to find cancers from your past CT scans
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at CT scans you've already had (without dye) to try and find signs of several types of cancer early. It may help find cancer sooner when it's easier to treat.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06633666Recruiting
Acupuncture for Long COVID brain and mood symptoms
