Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT07015892RecruitingPhase 3
Higher radiation dose for limited-stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation therapy for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (cancer that hasn't spread beyond the chest). It aims to see if the higher dose works better than the standard dose at controlling the cancer.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07016126RecruitingPhase 3
Study of D-BACE, chemo, and carlizumab for lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new drug (D-BACE), chemotherapy, and carlizumab for people with a certain type and stage of lung cancer that can be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07017608Recruiting
Breathing effort before and after tube removal
This study measures how hard your breathing muscles work while you are on a ventilator and right after the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors understand how to make the transition easier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07018024Recruiting
Study for anti-GBM disease patients
This study looks at people with anti-GBM disease, a rare kidney condition, to learn more about the disease and its treatment. If you were diagnosed between 2010 and 2027, or have stored blood or urine samples from your diagnosis, you might be able to join.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT07018128Recruiting
Breathing technique for lowering blood pressure in Thai adults
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique (the 4-7-8 method) can help lower blood pressure. It looks at how certain genes might affect the results, and includes people with normal or high blood pressure in eastern Thailand.
MueangChonburi, Changwat Chon BuriAges 18–59 - NCT07018856Recruiting
Can beginners detect collapsed lung after heart surgery via ultrasound?
This trial tests whether a beginner (like a nurse or trainee) can use an ultrasound to safely detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery when the chest tubes are removed. It could make care faster and safer for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07019675RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for people with lung cancer
This trial tests a new medication, SKB518, for people with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer who have at least one measurable tumor and are in fairly good health. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07020065RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced chemo plus immunotherapy vs immunotherapy alone for older lung cancer patients
This trial tests whether a reduced dose of chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy drug (Cemiplimab) works better than Cemiplimab alone for older or frail patients with advanced lung cancer whose PD-L1 level is below 50%. It aims to find a gentler but effective treatment option.
Fribourg, Villars-sur-GlâneAges 70 years+ - NCT07020221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of VS-7375 for KRAS G12D solid tumors
