Lovastatin plus pembrolizumab for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) to pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) works better than pembrolizumab alone for head and neck cancer that has come back or spread. It's for people who haven't had immunotherapy before and aren't already on a statin.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06637345Recruiting
Mesothelioma radiotherapy side effect study (MESORTIBO)
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict side effects in patients with pleural mesothelioma who receive high-dose radiation. If you've had chemotherapy and are getting or have gotten high-dose radiation to the whole chest, researchers want to see if they can identify who is at higher risk of side effects.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06638515Recruiting
Walking and breathing exercise for pain relief
This study tests whether a specific breathing exercise (walking while breathing at a low lung volume) can reduce pain sensitivity. It's looking for healthy people who have no ongoing medical conditions or pain.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06638528Recruiting
Can Walking and Breath-Holding Reduce Pain Sensitivity?
This study tests a special breathing technique called 'walking apnea' (holding your breath while walking) to see if it can reduce pain sensitivity. Healthy volunteers will do this exercise, and researchers will measure how it affects your pain perception.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06639191RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of a new drug for cancers expressing CD44v6
This trial tests a new radioactive drug called [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 for patients with certain advanced cancers (like thyroid, head and neck, lung, vulvar, or cervical cancer) that have a specific protein called CD44v6 on their surface. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard options have stopped working.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06642610Recruiting
Using CGM to predict prediabetes in cystic fibrosis
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a small sensor worn on the skin, to track blood sugar levels in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to find patterns that might predict who will develop diabetes, so it can be caught earlier.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 12–55 - NCT06643000Recruiting
High-dose furmonertinib combo for EGFR lung cancer with brain lining spread
This trial tests a strong dose of furmonertinib (a targeted pill) combined with two other drugs, bevacizumab and pemetrexed, for people with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord. It aims to see if this combination can better control the cancer and improve symptoms.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06643039Recruiting
Study on hospital-acquired respiratory virus infections
This trial looks at respiratory viruses caught in the hospital. If you are an adult patient or healthcare worker with flu-like symptoms that started while in the hospital, you may help researchers learn more about these infections.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06644066Recruiting
Oxygen-guided lung surgery for small tumors
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons find the right boundary between lung segments during surgery, using oxygen levels to guide them. It may help patients with small, early-stage lung tumors.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06644144Recruiting
P4O2: A study for people with lung scarring
This study is testing a new way to track lung scarring (fibrosis) over time in people with conditions like IPF, other fibrotic lung diseases, or early signs of scarring. It might help doctors understand how the disease changes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–80 - NCT06644430Recruiting
Burning lung spots plus systemic therapy for liver cancer
This trial tests whether burning away a few cancer spots in the lungs (called ablation) can help people with liver cancer who are already on a systemic treatment. If you have stable liver cancer and only a few lung spots that haven't grown, you may be eligible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06644820Recruiting
Spontaneous pneumothorax study at Sohag University
This trial looks at patients who have a spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that happens without injury or medical procedure). It aims to understand their condition and outcomes.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06644898Recruiting
Walking on slopes to improve balance in COPD
This study tests whether walking on different slopes (like hills) can help people with COPD improve their balance. It compares different types of incline walking to see which works best.
Istanbul, Eyüp SultanAges 40 years+ - NCT06645808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for various solid tumors
This study uses a special PET scan to see if a new imaging agent can help find and monitor certain solid tumors. It is for people with colon, rectal, sarcoma, breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, stomach, pancreas, bladder cancers, or glioblastoma who have had standard treatment before surgery.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06645977Recruiting
Study for patients with interstitial lung disease
This trial is for adults with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring). It aims to understand the disease better and may help find new ways to treat it.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06646250Recruiting
New ultrasound for steady brain monitoring in newborns
This trial uses a new ultrasound device (NeoDoppler) to watch blood flow in a baby's brain continuously. It aims to see if this gentle, bedside tool can help doctors monitor babies—especially those born early or with certain health concerns—without moving them.
TrondheimAges birth–1 year - NCT06646276RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo vs standard care for first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (BMS-986489 with chemotherapy) against the current standard treatment (atezolizumab with chemotherapy) for people who have just been diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06646471RecruitingPhase 4
Study of cancer drugs for older adults with lung cancer
This trial tests approved cancer drugs in people aged 70 and older with non-small-cell lung cancer who haven't had systemic treatment before. The goal is to see how well these drugs work in this older population.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 70 years+ - NCT06646653RecruitingPhase 3
Alma system for postpartum bleeding after childbirth
This trial tests a device called Alma to treat heavy bleeding after childbirth when standard medicines and massage haven't worked. It's for women who have lost a moderate amount of blood within 24 hours of delivery, either vaginally or by C-section.

New PET scan for lung tumors using a Nectin-4 probe
This trial is testing a new radioactive imaging agent that targets a protein called Nectin-4, which is often found on lung tumors. The scan will help doctors see if the tumor is visible and how it spreads, which may guide better treatment decisions for lung cancer patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06648733Recruiting
