Cough risk after lung surgery via thoracoscope
This study looks at why some people develop a cough after having part of a lung removed through small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help identify who is more likely to have this side effect.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–70 - NCT07822815Enrolling by invitation
Experts agree on best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients
This study asks a panel of international experts to agree on the best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients. If you are a specialist with at least five years of experience caring for cancer patients with airway problems, your opinion could help shape future guidelines.
Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT07817329Recruiting
Nutritional support for advanced lung cancer patients
This trial tests whether providing extra nutritional support to people with advanced lung cancer before they start their first chemotherapy or other treatment can improve their health. The goal is to see if good nutrition helps patients tolerate treatment better and maintain their strength.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07823855Recruiting
Faster radiation scheduling for aggressive non-small cell lung cancer
This trial studies a new way of giving radiation therapy to the chest for lung cancer that is growing quickly. The approach uses a special schedule to damage the cancer more effectively, which might improve how well the treatment works.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07823231Recruiting
Climate-resilient water and hygiene for schools and clinics in Karamoja
This study tests whether improving access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene in schools and health facilities helps students and the community stay healthier. If your school is selected, your family may benefit from safer water and better hygiene.

MRI scans of lungs after stem cell transplant
This study uses MRI scans to look at the lungs in people who have had a stem cell transplant (HSCT). It will help doctors understand and detect early lung problems, so they can act sooner.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 years+ - NCT07820254Recruiting
How well people with pulmonary fibrosis can breathe in
This study looks at how well people with pulmonary fibrosis can breathe in and aims to see if their breathing flow rate is linked to their condition. It may help doctors understand more about the disease and plan better care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07823842Recruiting
Biologics for asthma and COPD
This study looks at how well medicines called biologics work for people with asthma or COPD. Biologics are special shots that target certain parts of the immune system to reduce inflammation. Researchers want to see if these treatments can help control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07824414Recruiting
Pulse oxygen readings for emergency breathing trouble
This study checks if the difference between two types of oxygen readings can help doctors understand how serious your breathing problem is in the emergency room. It might help improve care for people with shortness of breath.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07819747Recruiting
Asthma support program for families and schools
This program gives families, schools, and doctors extra resources to help manage a child's asthma. It aims to improve how children with asthma feel and reduce school visits for breathing problems.
St Louis, MissouriAges 3–18 - NCT07818135Recruiting
