CLE-guided thoracoscopy for diagnosing pleural disease
This trial uses a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) during a procedure called medical thoracoscopy to help doctors see and diagnose unclear pleural fluid or problems in the lining around the lungs. It may help find a specific diagnosis when other tests have not.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06743529Recruiting
Antibiotics right away or later for lung infections from a breathing machine
This study looks at when to start antibiotics for a lung infection you may have gotten while on a breathing machine. It compares starting them right away versus waiting for the test results to be sure you need them.
Angers, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06743308Recruiting
New questionnaire to improve understanding in advanced lung cancer
This study tests a new questionnaire to help people with advanced lung cancer better understand their illness. It is for patients who are being treated at MD Anderson and were recently diagnosed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06743581Recruiting
Cemiplimab and dupilumab before lung cancer surgery
This study tests two drugs, cemiplimab and dupilumab, given before surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
