Esophageal Pressure Study for ARDS on Ventilators
This study looks at how well a special pressure measurement in your food pipe (esophageal pressure) works in people with severe lung injury (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors improve ventilator settings for better lung recovery.
Sapporo, HokkaidoAges 16 years+ - NCT06735612Recruiting
RSV and COPD Flare-Ups Study
This study looks at whether RSV (a common respiratory virus) is linked to COPD flare-ups that need urgent care. By testing patients during a flare-up, researchers hope to understand how RSV affects COPD and find better ways to manage it.
BarcelonaAges 50 years+ - NCT06736145Recruiting
Cervical nags for COPD accessory muscles
This trial tests a manual therapy technique called 'cervical nags' to see if it helps the neck and shoulder muscles that assist breathing in people with COPD. It may help you breathe easier if you have moderate to severe COPD.
Islamabad, FederalAges 20–50 - NCT06736288RecruitingPhase 4
Buccalin® tablets to prevent repeat lung infections
This trial tests whether Buccalin® tablets can help adults who get frequent lower respiratory infections (like bronchitis or COPD flare-ups). It's a phase 4 study collecting more data on safety and how well the medicine works to prevent these infections from coming back.
AlessandriaAges 18–99 - NCT06737107Recruiting
Comparing lung segmentectomy methods for early lung cancer
This trial looks back at medical records to compare different ways of performing a segmentectomy (removing a small part of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to see which approach might lead to better outcomes for patients like you.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06740019RecruitingPhase 1
JMKX000197 for malignant pleural effusion in advanced cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug called JMKX000197 given into the chest to control fluid buildup caused by cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have led to a moderate or large pleural effusion requiring drainage.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06741839Recruiting
CLE-guided thoracoscopy for diagnosing pleural disease
This trial uses a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) during a procedure called medical thoracoscopy to help doctors see and diagnose unclear pleural fluid or problems in the lining around the lungs. It may help find a specific diagnosis when other tests have not.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06742021Recruiting
MRI test to predict immune therapy response in lung cancer
