TrondheimAges birth–1 year - NCT06653413Recruiting
Using dynamic chest x-ray to diagnose COPD
This study tests if a new type of chest x-ray (dynamic chest x-ray) can help diagnose COPD. You would breathe normally and deeply while the x-ray takes images for 20 seconds. This could be a more comfortable way to check for COPD compared to standard breathing tests.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–80 - NCT06656117Enrolling by invitation
Elliptical vs. resistance training for heart bypass recovery
This study compares elliptical training with resistance training to see which better improves heart and lung function in patients who have had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It aims to help you recover more fully during phase III cardiac rehab.

High-dose Furmonertinib for advanced lung cancer after progression
This trial tests a higher dose of the targeted therapy Furmonertinib, either alone or with chemotherapy, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after initial treatment with a third-generation EGFR inhibitor like Osimertinib or Almonertinib.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06655038Enrolling by invitation
Tobacco-free school policy improvement study
This study tests a new way to help schools better enforce their no-smoking rules. It looks at whether a special program can make these rules work better for students.
BrusselsAges 13–19 - NCT06652776Enrolling by invitation
Italian COPD patient registry study
This study is creating a registry to better understand Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Italian patients. It will collect information from people with COPD to improve care and research.
Milan, MilanAges 40 years+ - NCT06649929Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Better sleep for Latino couples and brain health
This study tests a program to help Latino couples improve sleep and CPAP use, which may lower Alzheimer's risk. You and your partner will join telehealth sessions together.
Tuscon, ArizonaAges 35 years+ - NCT06656598RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy and radiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug called cemiplimab to chemotherapy before a shorter course of radiation helps older or less fit patients with stage III lung cancer. It aims to improve treatment results while being more manageable for patients who might not tolerate standard therapies.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06651658Recruiting
A trial of pleura embolisation during lung ablation
This study looks at a new procedure called pleural embolisation that may reduce air leaks after lung ablation. It tests whether using this technique during ablation is safe and effective for people with lung lesions.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT06651255Recruiting
Algorithm-guided care for bleeding in Von Willebrand disease
This trial tests whether a special algorithm can reduce repeat bleeding from the gut or nose in people with inherited Von Willebrand disease. If you have had serious nosebleeds or digestive bleeding, this study may help find a better way to manage your condition.
Lille, NordAges 18 years+ - NCT03323112Recruiting
Studying immune responses to seasonal flu shots in health workers
This study looks at how your immune system (your body’s infection-fighting system) responds after you get the seasonal flu vaccine. It may help researchers understand what the vaccine triggers in people working in healthcare and labs.
HelsinkiAges 18–64 - NCT06258642Recruiting
Irinotecan liposome plus anlotinib for SCLC after first chemo
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—irinotecan liposome (a chemotherapy) and anlotinib (a targeted therapy)—as a second treatment for small cell lung cancer that returned quickly after initial chemo. The goal is to see if this combo can work better than standard options.
