New approach to reduce breathing pauses in preemies
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.

Biopsy study to learn about mesothelioma and related cancers
This study collects tissue samples (biopsies) and health information to better understand malignant mesothelioma and certain related solid tumors that may produce a protein called mesothelin. It may help future research and treatments, and you can only join if your diagnosis is confirmed and it’s safe for you to have the tissue taken.

Monitoring genes and health after kidney transplant
This study follows people who are getting a kidney transplant (first or later) to better understand how the body recovers, using health tracking and “gene/protein” (proteogenomic) information. It may help doctors predict complications and improve care after transplant.

Looking back at EGFR-targeted pills for lung cancer
This study looks back at how people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with EGFR-targeted medicines (gefitinib, erlotinib, and osimertinib). It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what side effects to expect.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT01241305Recruiting
One-Time DNA Study for Different Types of Vasculitis
This trial collects a one-time DNA sample to better understand vasculitis, which are illnesses where blood vessels become inflamed. It may help researchers find why these conditions happen and how they differ across people.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 7 years+ - NCT00991094Recruiting
Study follow-up after proton radiation treatment
This study collects information about both short-term and long-term side effects in people who receive proton radiation. It may help doctors better understand what happens to normal tissues over time and improve follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00258583Recruiting
ILD patient registry at UPMC Simmons Center
This study is a registry that collects information from adults with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who are seeking care at the UPMC Simmons Center. It helps the center learn about ILD and improve future treatment planning.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01386424Recruiting
Healthy adult check-in for future infectious-disease volunteer studies
This study enrolls healthy adults to help set up future research studies about infectious diseases. If you qualify, you may be asked to join later “healthy volunteer” experiments and allow your samples to be stored for future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00373841Recruiting
Study of genetic and protein changes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This study looks at genetic (DNA) and protein changes over time in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, to better understand how the disease progresses. Your participation may help researchers learn patterns that could guide future care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01600378Recruiting
A study to collect health data in lung disease
This study follows adults who have suspected diffuse lung disease (abnormal changes in multiple areas of the lungs) and collects health information over time. It may help doctors better understand these lung conditions and how they progress.
SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT01580982Recruiting
Analyze tumor genetic changes to understand lung cancer resistance
This study looks at lung cancer tumor tissue to find genetic “on/off” changes and why treatments may stop working. It may help your care team choose better next tests or treatments based on what the tumor is doing.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT01585675Recruiting
Banking lung cancer specimens for future testing
This study collects and stores (banks) samples from people who are currently being evaluated for lung cancer or receiving treatment. It helps researchers use these samples later for future diagnosis and research.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT00258570Recruiting
Study genetics in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients
This study looks at genetic differences in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a lung scarring condition with no known cause). It may help researchers understand what influences the disease and guide future treatment options.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01177618Recruiting
Study of early-onset severe COPD in younger adults
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT00951366Recruiting
Preterm lung patient registry for former preterm infants
This registry collects health information from people who were born preterm. It helps doctors better understand lung problems that can occur after preterm birth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT01487603Recruiting
Testing a gene test using lung biopsy samples
This study checks whether it’s practical to do gene (DNA) testing on samples taken during EBUS-TBNA, a common breathing-tube biopsy used to stage lung cancer. If it works well, it could make genetic testing faster and easier for people with lung cancer.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT00899405Recruiting
Studying lung cancer tissue and blood for DNA changes
This study looks at lung cancer tumor samples and blood to find DNA changes (gene changes) that may be driving the cancer. The results could help researchers better understand lung cancer and guide future treatments.

Robot-assisted mouth and throat surgery for head and neck tumors
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
