Cat allergy immunotherapy with lymph node injections
This trial tests a new way to treat cat allergies by giving tiny injections directly into a lymph node (a part of your immune system), instead of under the skin. It aims to see if this method is safe and can reduce cat allergy symptoms, even in people with asthma.
ZurichAges 18–65 - NCT06960746Recruiting
Lifestyle change for sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, and impotence

Low dose sirolimus for long COVID
This trial tests if a low dose of sirolimus, a medicine that calms the immune system, can help people with long COVID. If you have had long COVID symptoms for at least 6 months, like severe fatigue, brain fog, or chest pain, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06961214RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new biologic for COPD with type 2 inflammation
This trial tests a medicine called depemokimab for people with COPD and a specific type of inflammation (type 2). It aims to see if it can reduce flare-ups when added to standard inhaler therapy.
Sheffield, AlabamaAges 40–80 - NCT06962670Recruiting
Cancer risk study using digital and molecular markers
This study uses a smartphone app and biological markers to predict cancer risk. It is testing whether digital and molecular data can help identify cancer earlier, especially in women with a history of certain cancers.
Please Refer to Project Homepage For Details (see Link Below), BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06962865RecruitingPhase 2
RC108 and Furmonertinib for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated and MET-positive NSCLC
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, RC108 and Furmonertinib, can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific genetic changes (EGFR mutation and MET positivity) and cannot be removed by surgery. It is for people who have not yet received treatment for their advanced or metastatic cancer.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06963307Recruiting
Blood test for early lung cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for changes in DNA to detect lung cancer early. It's for people with a new lung cancer diagnosis, those with uncertain CT scan results, healthy volunteers, or those with chronic lung problems.
Ramat GanAges 18 years+ - NCT06964308Recruiting
Lung lining biopsy study for adults with suspected pleural disease
This study uses a small camera to take a sample of your lung lining (pleura) to help diagnose the cause of your symptoms. It is for adults who need this biopsy to find out what is wrong.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06965322Recruiting
Detecting lung problems in rheumatoid arthritis
This study uses CT scans and blood tests to look for lung signs related to rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to find lung issues early, which may help in managing the disease better.
Innsbruck, AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06966284Recruiting
Study Comparing Two Antibiotics for Resistant Infections
This study looks at two strong antibiotics, polymyxin B and colistin, given through a vein to treat serious infections like pneumonia or blood infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to many other antibiotics. The goal is to see how well they work and how safe they are.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06966271Recruiting
Lung medication study for asthma or COPD patients
This study uses computer modeling to see how much of your inhaled medication reaches your lungs. It helps doctors understand how to better treat breathing conditions like asthma or COPD.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06966310Recruiting
Awake prone positioning for community acquired pneumonia with high-flow oxygen
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach (prone position) while awake can help people with pneumonia breathe better and avoid needing a breathing tube. It is for patients in the ICU or step-down unit who need high-flow oxygen therapy.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06966752Recruiting
Comparing two breathing supports for preterm babies with breathing problems
This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
