Proper Height Measurement in Ventilator Patients with Lung Injury
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07602192Recruiting
Chest Imaging and Blood Tests to Distinguish Asthma From COPD
This study uses chest CT scans and blood tests to better tell asthma and COPD apart and predict which treatments will work best for you. The goal is to help doctors diagnose and treat these lung conditions more accurately.
Seoul, Dongjak-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07245927Recruiting
Staphylokinase for massive pulmonary embolism with shock
This trial tests a single injection of a clot-busting drug called staphylokinase for people with a massive pulmonary embolism that is causing shock or very low blood pressure. It aims to see how well the drug works in this emergency situation.
BelgorodAges 18 years+ - NCT07474220Recruiting
Study of SLC25A48 in COPD
This study measures a protein called SLC25A48 in people with COPD (a lung condition that makes breathing hard) and in healthy people to learn if it plays a role in the disease.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07177937RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DXC014 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests DXC014, a new drug, in people with advanced solid tumors, including prostate cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07678086Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure and sore throat in children's appendix surgery
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 6–18 - NCT07048574Recruiting
Mood and behavior in children with cystic fibrosis
This study looks at mood and behavior in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) under 12. By following children over time, researchers hope to better understand and help with depression, anxiety, and behavior challenges that may come up.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 1.5 years–11 years - NCT07683780Enrolling by invitation
Spinal stimulation and muscle training for cough after spinal cord injury
This study tests a combination of spinal cord stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation to help improve cough strength in people with a recent spinal cord injury. It may help you clear secretions more effectively.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–65 - NCT07219173RecruitingPhase 2
Study of brenipatide for uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma
This study tests an investigational drug called brenipatide for people with moderate to severe asthma that isn't well controlled by current medicines. The purpose is to see if it can reduce asthma attacks better than a placebo (inactive treatment).
Tempe, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07577960Enrolling by invitation
Lung Rehabilitation for Upper Arm Burn Recovery
This study tests whether specialized breathing exercises and chest therapy can improve lung function in people recovering from upper arm burns. It may help you breathe better and restore physical strength after a burn injury.
