Testing a nerve therapy for Latin Americans with sleep apnea
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
AsunciónAges 18 years+ - NCT06764771RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new investigational drug, BMS-986488, alone or with another drug (adagrasib), for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works against certain cancers.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06766253Recruiting
Comparing three breathing tube devices for head-down laparoscopic surgery
This study is comparing three different breathing tube devices (GMA-TULIP, I-gel, and BlockBuster Laryngeal Mask) for people having laparoscopic surgery while tilted head-down. The goal is to see which device works best and most safely.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06768008Recruiting
Integrated care model for newborns with critical heart disease
This trial tests a coordinated treatment plan for newborns with critical congenital heart disease, starting before birth and continuing after delivery. It aims to improve outcomes for babies who need two-ventricle repair surgery.
BeijingAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT06769126RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment study for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This study uses biomarker tests on your tumor to find a personalized treatment after initial chemotherapy. You will be assigned to one of four treatment groups based on your biomarker results.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06769295RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AK112 plus chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug, AK112, combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung (malignant pleural effusion). The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06769607Recruiting
New auto-CPAP algorithm for sleep apnea
This study tests a new, smarter way for your CPAP machine to automatically adjust air pressure while you sleep. If you have a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 and have been using it for a few months, you may be eligible.
