Tailored treatment for acute breathing problems
This trial tests whether using a blood test to measure inflammation (IL-6) can help doctors decide if you should get either dexamethasone or tocilizumab for COVID-19 or other acute breathing problems. The goal is to find the best treatment faster and reduce side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07334444Recruiting
Improving sleep apnea care for children with Down syndrome

Platelet Changes While on ECMO Support
This study looks at how blood cells called platelets change in people who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) in the ICU. It aims to better understand how the body responds to this support.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07336732RecruitingPhase 2
New targeted drug with chemo for rare EGFR lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted pill (andamertinib) with or without standard chemotherapy, compared to chemotherapy alone, for people with a rare type of EGFR-mutated lung cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to find which approach works better against the cancer.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07337096Recruiting
Electro-acupuncture for advanced lung cancer: the EALER study
This study tests whether adding electro-acupuncture (a gentle type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) to standard first-line immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination improves quality of life and overall treatment outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07337993Recruiting
Fungal chest infection: washing the chest cavity
This study tests a chest-washing procedure (lavage) for people with a fungal infection in the space between the lung and chest wall. It aims to see if this extra step helps clear the infection before or instead of surgery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges Any age - NCT07339254Recruiting
Survey about immunotherapy for lung cancer patients
This study is a survey to learn about the experiences and feelings of people with non-small cell lung cancer who are taking immunotherapy drugs. The goal is to understand how you're doing on treatment, which can help improve care for others.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07339644Recruiting
Lung-Sparing Radiation Guided by Breathing Scans
This study tests a new way to plan radiation for lung tumors. It uses a breathing-guided scan to map healthy and unhealthy parts of the lungs, so radiation can avoid working lung tissue. The goal is to see if this approach spares more healthy lung while still treating the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18–85 - NCT07340255Recruiting
Safe airway pressure during anesthesia start
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
JiaxingAges 18–65 - NCT07342205RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
