MRD-guided sintilimab after surgery for NSCLC
This trial tests whether using the immunotherapy drug sintilimab after surgery, guided by a blood test that looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA (MRD), can help keep non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who had immunotherapy before surgery and still had some cancer left after the operation.

Pleural pressure measurement in malignant pleural effusion
This trial tests a procedure called pleural manometry, which measures pressure in the chest during fluid drainage, to see if it helps doctors better assess and treat malignant pleural effusion (fluid buildup around the lung caused by cancer). The goal is to improve symptom relief and treatment decisions.

Physical fitness in children with bronchiectasis
This trial measures physical fitness levels in children with bronchiectasis. It aims to understand how the condition affects fitness and may help guide future care.
Istanbul, FatihAges 7–18 - NCT07121374RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Chemotherapy and immunotherapy before possible surgery for mesothelioma
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy and immunotherapy before planned surgery can make inoperable pleural mesothelioma operable. It is for people with a specific type of mesothelioma (epithelioid) that cannot be removed right away, to see if the treatment shrinks the tumor enough for surgery later.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07121452Recruiting
Telehealth vs. standard care for sleep apnea in military families
This study compares a telehealth sleep-apnea program to standard care for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who are referred to private doctors in the TRICARE network. It aims to see if telehealth is just as effective and more convenient for military families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–64 - NCT07121413RecruitingPhase 2
Testing SV001 for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This trial tests a new drug called SV001 to see if it is safe and tolerable for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). If you have IPF and meet certain health criteria, this study may help find new treatment options.
ChengduAges 40 years+ - NCT07122258Recruiting
Using the CAROL device to treat early stage lung cancer
This trial tests a new device called the CAROL that uses heat to destroy small lung tumors during surgery. It is for people with a specific type of early-stage lung cancer (stage 1, tumor 2 cm or smaller) that is located in the outer part of the lung and can be removed by surgery.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07122505Recruiting
Mouth muscle therapy for sleep apnea in kids with Down or Prader-Willi syndrome
This study tests a therapy that strengthens mouth and tongue muscles to help children with Down or Prader-Willi syndrome who have mild obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to improve breathing during sleep without surgery or machines.
GhentAges 4–18 - NCT07122544Recruiting
Salt chamber pulmonary rehab for COPD
This study tests whether doing pulmonary rehab (breathing and exercise training) in a salt chamber can help people with COPD breathe and feel better. It is for people whose COPD is stable and who can move independently.
Krakow, MałopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07123727RecruitingPhase 2
