Study of MT-4561 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MT-4561 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06944782Recruiting
Can mouth muscle tests help diagnose sleep apnea?
This study tests a new device that measures muscle activity in your mouth to diagnose sleep apnea—without needing to spend the night in a lab. If you've already had a sleep test showing either no sleep apnea or moderate to severe sleep apnea, and you're not using CPAP daily, you may be able to help.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06945484Recruiting
Exercise program for lung cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise plan can help people with lung cancer who are getting chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery. You’ll be asked to follow an exercise routine during your treatment.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06945614RecruitingPhase 1
