Memory-sparing radiation for brain metastases in small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether focusing high-dose radiation only on brain tumor spots, while avoiding the hippocampus (a brain area important for memory), helps protect memory and thinking compared with standard whole-brain radiation. It’s for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07398365Recruiting
Medical study of psychiatry inpatients
This study looks at the medical and mental health patterns of adults admitted to general adult psychiatry wards. It aims to better understand their health needs.

This study looks at treatment for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in adults with a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the trial team may help manage sleep-related breathing problems and track how well the treatment works.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT00695214RecruitingPhase 2
Test with medicine-assisted sleep endoscopy for sleep apnea
This trial studies how well a procedure done while you sleep helps doctors understand the blockage causing obstructive sleep apnea and plan surgery. You may be helped if you’re an adult with sleep apnea who is considering surgical treatment.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00568490Recruiting
Finding blood markers that show low oxygen in tumors
This study looks for substances in blood that may reflect how “low-oxygen” a tumor is. If you have head and neck cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, it may help researchers understand tumor oxygen levels and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07609121RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and two newer cancer-fighting drugs (tislelizumab and surufatinib) for patients with Stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07348211RecruitingPhase 1
Study of SIM0610 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called SIM0610 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07348302RecruitingPhase 3
Allergy tablet for dust mite rhinitis and asthma
This trial tests an under-the-tongue tablet for people with dust mite allergies causing moderate to severe nasal symptoms or mild-to-moderate asthma. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms and can replace or reduce the need for allergy medicines.
Nueve de Julio, Buenos AiresAges 12–65 - NCT07348783Recruiting
Yoga for chronic migraine and cluster headache
This study tests whether yoga-based movements can help reduce headache frequency and improve well-being in people with chronic migraine or cluster headache. You would follow online or in-person yoga instructions at home for several weeks, wear an activity tracker, and provide blood samples.
HuddingeAges 18–65 - NCT07348848Recruiting

Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 2 years - NCT07348965Recruiting
High-dose furmonertinib for EGFR-mutant lung cancer that spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a new way to give a targeted therapy (furmonertinib) to people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain. It uses a higher, pulsing dose to try to get more medicine into the brain fluid and stop the cancer there.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07349524RecruitingPhase 2
