Testing BEBT-109 for advanced EGFR exon 20 lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental pill called BEBT-109 for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation) that has gotten worse after chemotherapy. The study aims to see if this targeted therapy can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06706765RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cough suppression therapy via group telehealth
This study tests a behavioral therapy delivered through group video calls to help people with a chronic dry cough that has no clear cause. It may offer a non-drug way to reduce coughing.
Missoula, MontanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06707519Recruiting
Lung cancer breath and blood test study
This study is testing new breath and blood tests to detect lung cancer. It may help find better ways to diagnose and monitor non-small cell lung cancer.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06707649Recruiting
Self-management education and phone support for COPD
This study tests whether teaching patients how to manage their COPD at home, along with regular phone check-ins, helps them recover better after a hospital stay for a COPD flare-up.

Camera test for breathing trouble in newborns with fistula
This study tests whether a camera-based scope can help doctors diagnose breathing problems in newborns who had surgery for a birth defect where the food tube and windpipe are connected. The goal is to avoid putting a breathing tube in the child during the exam.
Bergamo, ItalyAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07013149Recruiting
Switching PAH medicines: does it change your risk?
This study looks at how changing from one PAH medicine (ambrisentan) to another (bosentan) affects your disease risk over time. It compares people who made the switch to those who stayed on ambrisentan.
