Mouth care to prevent pneumonia in ICU COPD patients
This study tests whether a special mouth-care routine can help prevent pneumonia (a serious lung infection) in people with COPD who are in the ICU and need breathing support. If you are in the ICU with a COPD flare-up and are using a noninvasive breathing mask or high-flow oxygen, you may be able to join.

How lung cancer tumors change after high-dose radiation
This study looks at how the main lung tumor shrinks or changes after a complete course of high-dose radiation in people with stage II or III lung cancer. It uses scans taken before and after treatment to track the results.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06693336RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant chemotherapy trial for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy drug called SMS001 (a form of paclitaxel) after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06693362RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for severe viral pneumonia
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from the womb's blood supply can help treat severe viral pneumonia. It aims to improve recovery for people who are very sick and need hospital care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06694311Recruiting
Testing CPAP and high-flow oxygen for ARDS
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–80 - NCT06695247Recruiting
Walking recovery after serious lung blood clot
This study follows people who had a serious blood clot in their lungs that also affected their heart's right side. It tests how their ability to walk and move changes over 6 months, helping doctors understand recovery better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06695845RecruitingPhase 2
Study of zanidatamab for HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called zanidatamab in people with advanced solid tumors that have high levels of HER2 protein (called HER2-positive). It aims to see if zanidatamab can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Prescott, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06696027Recruiting
Loss of Y chromosome in autoimmune and lung disease
This study looks at how the loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells may be linked to autoimmune and lung diseases in older men. By joining, you help researchers understand this connection better.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 50 years+ - NCT06696300Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can help reduce chronic low back pain. You will practice specific breathing exercises and see if they improve your pain and function.
Kırşehir, CenterAges 18–65 - NCT06696638Recruiting
Guiding breathing help with lung imaging vs. pressure in ARDS
This trial compares two ways to set the breathing machine for people with ARDS (a serious lung injury). One method uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to see how the lungs are working, while the other uses pressure measurements. The goal is to find the best way to adjust ventilator support to help you breathe more easily.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06697314Recruiting
Clot removal for acute pulmonary embolism with heart strain
This study tests a new device (AlphaVac) that removes blood clots from the lungs using a thin tube inserted through a vein. It may be an option for people with acute pulmonary embolism who have signs of heart strain or low blood pressure.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT06697457Recruiting
Comparing exercises for chronic neck pain
This trial tests different types of exercise to see which works best for people with long-lasting neck pain. You may join if your neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and is at least a 5 out of 10 in intensity.
