T-cell treatment for lung cancer that has spread
This Phase 2 study tests a T-cell–based immunotherapy for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has grown despite prior treatment. It may help your immune system recognize and fight your cancer using cells made from your tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–72 - NCT02461615Recruiting
Registry for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) patients
This study keeps a national record of people with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). It includes one “snapshot” group and one group that follows people with autoimmune PAP and asks about symptoms and quality of life.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT02889666RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo plus surgery for recurrent lung cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy along with surgery is safe and tolerable for people with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. It may help guide future treatment for cancer that has returned, especially if it has not spread to distant sites.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT02682667Recruiting
Providing blood samples for cancer immunotherapy research
This study collects and stores blood/tissue samples (called biospecimens) to support immunotherapy research at the cancer center. If you may qualify, your samples help researchers test new immune-based cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02514655Recruiting
Device to control breathing-tube cuff pressure to prevent pneumonia
This trial tests a simple device that helps keep the cuff pressure on a breathing tube at the right level. The goal is to reduce the risk of pneumonia that can happen in people on a ventilator.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT02815683Recruiting
Bronchoscopy treatment with one-way lung valves
This study looks at outcomes from placing one-way valves in the lungs using a camera procedure through the airways (bronchoscopy). If you’re already planned for this type of valve treatment, you may be able to join to help researchers learn how it works.
GroningenAges Any age - NCT02146170Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection study for several lung and chest cancers
This study collects tissue (and follows patients over time) to better understand the natural course of several types of chest cancers. It may help researchers learn which tests and treatments work best in different cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02419365Recruiting
PCD registry for people with suspected or confirmed ciliadisease
This registry collects information from people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a condition that affects how the lungs and airways clear mucus. It helps researchers learn more about who has PCD, how it looks in real life, and any other health problems that may go along with it.
Münster, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Any age - NCT02156401Recruiting
Study of tests and care to improve clot diagnosis
This study follows adults who may have a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg (deep vein thrombosis), or who were found to have a clot by chance. It aims to improve how doctors diagnose, manage, and estimate risk, which may lead to better, more tailored care for you.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 18 years+ - NCT02533804Recruiting
Life Project study for adults in Lake Nona
This study is collecting information from adults living or working in the Lake Nona area. It may help researchers understand community needs and improve programs for residents.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–110 - NCT02906943Recruiting
Testing cancer tissue to guide targeted treatment choices
This trial studies advanced solid tumors by using stored tumor samples to look for molecular clues. The goal is to help doctors better choose cancer treatments that may work for your specific tumor.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02421718Recruiting
Follow-up program for lung cancer and related conditions after radiation
This trial studies a standard follow-up plan to help you stay on track after radiation treatment for lung cancers or certain related conditions. It may help your care team monitor symptoms and outcomes in a consistent way.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT02784977Recruiting
Sleep apnea study using a national sleep database
This study collects information from adults who are getting a sleep test because obstructive sleep apnea is suspected. It helps researchers better understand sleep apnea and who develops it, without giving a new treatment.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT02723500Recruiting
Xenon MRI scan for people with chronic lung disease
This study tests whether a special MRI scan using xenon gas can be done safely and provide useful information in people with chronic lung conditions. You may be able to take part if your breathing tests and oxygen levels are adequate and you can complete the MRI safely.
London, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT02316379RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Breathing MRI test to map lung airspaces in adults
This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02593565Recruiting
Pregnancy blood-vessel disease registry study
This is a pregnancy registry that collects information from people with certain blood-vessel inflammatory diseases during pregnancy. It helps researchers better understand these conditions in pregnancy and may guide future care.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–50 - NCT02241265Recruiting
Testing how lung breathing tests respond to bronchial treatment
This trial looks at how lung function test results change after bronchial thermoplasty in adults with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand who benefits from this procedure based on breathing test measures.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–99 - NCT02511288Recruiting
Blood tests to monitor advanced lung cancer during care
This study checks whether “liquid biopsies” (blood tests) can help monitor advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. It looks at different patient groups based on timing and tumor features, aiming to make cancer tracking easier and less invasive.
AnnecyAges 18 years+ - NCT02570815RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorescent-guided robotic lung surgery for early lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02592291Recruiting
Using a phone app to help manage long-term health needs
This study tests a mobile phone system that helps people with long-term, complex health conditions manage daily life and get support. If you can use a smartphone and pass the study checks, you may be able to try the self-management tools.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT02200276Recruiting
Flu shot study for adults over 75
This study looks at getting an influenza (flu) vaccine in adults age 75 and older. It may help doctors understand how to safely give flu shots to older adults.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 75 years+ - NCT02703207Recruiting
Sleep apnea and COPD effects in older veterans
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60–89 - NCT02431507Recruiting
First test of an implant device to prevent sleep apnea pauses
This trial is testing whether a new implanted device is safe and feasible for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help if you cannot tolerate CPAP (a common breathing device) and your apnea is caused by airflow blockage at the back of the tongue area.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–70 - NCT02249923Recruiting
Children with pulmonary hypertension registry in Spanish or English
This registry study collects information from children and families affected by pulmonary hypertension to better understand the condition. It may help researchers track outcomes over time and improve future care.
