YichangAges 18–75 - NCT07826429Recruiting
Testing a new breathing mask for sleep apnea
This study tests a new style of breathing mask (called the F&P Licorice Mask) for people who already use CPAP or similar therapy for sleep apnea. You'll use the mask at home and give feedback on how it feels and works, which could help make future masks more comfortable.

Study of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy that uses your own immune cells (TILs) to fight lung cancer. If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer and standard treatments haven't worked, this treatment might help your immune system attack the cancer more effectively.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05640635Recruiting
Testing inflammation changes in people on ECMO
This study looks at inflammation during ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) and while people are being weaned off it. It may help doctors better understand which patients are improving safely during ECMO and when to reduce support.

Testing ABT-101 for advanced solid tumors and HER2-mutant lung cancer
This study tests ABT-101, a new experimental treatment, in people with advanced solid tumors. A second part specifically looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has HER2 mutations, to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT03769129Recruiting
Pembrolizumab plus lung ablation for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06390878Recruiting
Study on natural kindergarten yards

Helsinki, UusimaaAges 1–5 - NCT07827183Recruiting
Personalized discharge help for lung cancer surgery patients
This study tests a personalized discharge education program using AI to help patients recover at home after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve recovery by giving tailored instructions and support.
Siping, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT07830602Recruiting
Home breathing and exercise program for interstitial lung disease
This study tests a home-based program of breathing exercises and physical activity for people with interstitial lung disease, aiming to improve breathlessness and daily function.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–75 - NCT07832643Recruiting
Allergy and breathing problems in babies at 12 months
This study follows full-term babies from birth to 12 months to see if allergies affect breathing problems. It may help doctors understand and prevent respiratory issues in infants.
Amiens, PicardieAges Up to 1 year - NCT07833085Recruiting
Imaging test for solid tumors using a special tracer
This study tests a new imaging method that uses a special tracer to find solid tumors in the body. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly and guide treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07829003Enrolling by invitation
Step test to measure fitness in healthy adults
This study tests a new step-based exercise test to see if it works as well as a standard bike test for measuring fitness and breathing. If you are a healthy adult, you might join to help validate this simpler test.
EdinburghAges 18–55 - NCT07833826Recruiting
Breathing test for children with wheeze or asthma
This study looks at how well a new breathing test works for children who have wheeze or asthma. It helps doctors understand if this test can be used easily in the hospital or clinic.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 5–15 - NCT07829055Enrolling by invitation
Effects of mental tasks on breathing in chronic opioid users
This study looks at how doing mental tasks affects breathing in people who take opioids daily for chronic pain, compared to those with sleep apnea and healthy people. It may help understand how opioids affect breathing and improve safety.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 45–65 - NCT07830771RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging TB infection with a new tracer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan with a new tracer to see how TB infection looks in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand and treat TB.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04842812RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests engineered immune cells (TILs/CAR-TILs) made from your tumor to treat advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack the cancer, but it is mainly focused on safety and early results.
GuangzhouAges 18–85 - NCT03778814RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized T-cell therapy for advanced lung or solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests a lab-made immune cell treatment made from your own blood cells (T cells) to fight advanced lung cancer or other solid tumors. You may be eligible if your tumor can be biopsied and the lab can successfully prepare T cells that strongly recognize and attack your cancer.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03192501Recruiting
Using prior scans to guide cancer treatment choices
This trial tests whether using existing “PACS” scan images to guide individualized cancer treatment (compared with standard care) can improve outcomes for people with advanced or metastatic cancer. It may help doctors make more precise treatment decisions using your past imaging.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03198052RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for cancers with specific protein targets
This Phase 1 study tests CAR-T cells that are engineered to recognize several cancer “markers” (specific proteins) found on some advanced cancers. It may help by directing the patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer, but eligibility depends on matching the required protein markers.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03755739RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Checkpoint cancer drug given into or near tumors
This trial studies whether giving immunotherapy “checkpoint inhibitor” medicine directly into the tumor area (and/or the artery feeding it), along with a chemotherapy-style drug, can work better for advanced solid tumors. It aims to boost the immune system’s ability to attack cancer while still being safe for people with measurable tumors.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05187338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drugs that target immune checkpoints for solid tumors
This early-phase study tests a combination of three immune “checkpoint” medicines in people with advanced solid cancers. It aims to see how well they work and what side effects occur, including when given through a specific liver-focused treatment in eligible patients.
