Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05849077Recruiting
Testing oxygen saturation targets during newborn resuscitation
This study looks at the best oxygen saturation targets and resuscitation approach for very premature babies right after birth. It may help clinicians guide breathing support more safely in the first minutes of life.
Dallas, TexasAges birth–10 minutes - NCT05922202Recruiting
Studying how frailty affects outcomes in COPD
This study looks at whether frailty (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes the risk of heart-related events and death in people with COPD. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk and tailor care.
ModenaAges 40 years+ - NCT06122077Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer detection in smokers
This trial tests a blood test that looks for multiple signals to find lung cancer early. If you are a smoker or former smoker over 50, this test might help detect cancer before you have symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06244160Recruiting
High-flow oxygen therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen therapy can help people with spinal cord injuries between the neck and upper back. It is designed for those admitted to a spinal injury ward within 24 to 48 hours of injury.
CardiffAges 18 years+ - NCT05816954Recruiting
Imaging test to predict lung injury risk in ARDS
This study looks at scan images to better predict the risk of a serious lung complication (barotrauma) in people with ARDS. It may help doctors choose safer treatment strategies in the ICU.
Catanzaro, CalabriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06592638RecruitingPhase 1
ZG006 for small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called ZG006 for people with small cell lung cancer that has not responded to or can no longer tolerate standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06503016RecruitingPhase 3
Phosphocreatine for medical emergency team patients
This study tests if a medicine called phosphocreatine helps people in the hospital who have a serious heart or lung emergency. It aims to see if the medicine can improve recovery and prevent further complications.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06706076RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental pill for lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
This study tests an experimental pill that targets cancer cells with certain gene changes (EGFR or HER2). It may help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06712355RecruitingPhase 3
Testing an experimental drug with chemo for newly diagnosed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug called BNT327, given with standard chemotherapy, for people newly diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding this drug improves outcomes compared to chemotherapy alone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06074380RecruitingPhase 4
Surfactant therapy comparison for preterm infants
This trial compares a new method of giving surfactant (a substance that helps babies' lungs work better) to preterm infants who have breathing problems. The goal is to see if giving surfactant through a thin tube without a breathing tube works as well as the usual method.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Up to 2 days - NCT05906082Recruiting
Vape-free texting program for young adults in rural North Dakota
This pilot study tests whether vape-free coaching by text message can help people quit e-cigarettes. You may be eligible if you are a young adult who vapes daily and plans to quit within a month.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–24 - NCT06712810RecruitingPhase 1
Q702 for blood cancers and histiocytic disorders
This study tests an experimental pill called Q702 for people with certain blood cancers and related disorders (like histiocytoses, myelofibrosis, and lymphomas) that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if Q702 is safe and effective.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06713382RecruitingPhase 2
Saline rinse for trapped lung infections
This trial tests if adding a simple saltwater rinse to standard chest tube drainage helps clear stubborn lung infections. It might be an option if you have an infected fluid pocket in your chest that isn't draining well.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06716502Recruiting
Testing a new portable breathing support device
This trial tests a new portable device that helps people breathe without using a tube in the windpipe. It may be an option for older adults who need breathing support but are not in the hospital for a sudden illness.
Lecce, ApuliaAges 65 years+ - NCT06706453Enrolling by invitation

LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06706401RecruitingPhase 3
Lymphocyte-sparing radio-immunotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a new approach that combines radiation and immunotherapy, while trying to protect your immune cells. It is for people with head and neck cancer that has not spread across the midline of the body and has not been treated yet.
Lyon, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06715306Recruiting
IV vs. Oral Antibiotics for Common Infections
This trial compares starting antibiotics through a vein (IV) to taking them by mouth for common infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or skin infections (cellulitis). The goal is to see if oral antibiotics work just as well without the need for an IV line.
Aabenraa, Southern DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06712745RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Personalized lung cancer radiation therapy study
