Quercetin for fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether taking quercetin, a natural supplement, can help people with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (a group of conditions that cause scarring in the lungs). If you have been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or another fibrotic ILD and are on standard treatments, you may be able to join.

Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.

Gene-modified immune cells for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests an experimental immune cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) that targets two to three specific markers on your lung cancer cells. It may be an option if your cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments and if tests show your tumor carries those markers.

This trial is studying people with chronic lung conditions, like COPD or asthma, to find treatable traits. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to better understand what makes these diseases different and how to personalize treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–75 - NCT07476274Recruiting
Study of pneumonia after heart bypass surgery
This trial looks at pneumonia that happens in the hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to understand who is at risk and how to better prevent or treat it.
Tomsk, Tomsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07476495Recruiting
Study on lung cancer spread
This study looks at how lung cancer spreads in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve treatment.

Heart Institute Biobank for Adult Congenital Heart Disease
This study collects blood and tissue samples and health information from adults with or at risk for congenital heart disease or related heart conditions. It aims to help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 16 years+ - NCT07477158Recruiting
Comparing two lung cancer surgeries for recovery and quality of life
This study compares two types of lung cancer surgery—removing just the tumor section (segmentectomy) or the whole lobe (lobectomy)—done through small cuts (minimally invasive). The goal is to see which approach leads to better daily living and recovery for early-stage lung cancer patients.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07478809Recruiting
Long-term study of RATIONALE-307 trial participants
This study looks back at people who took part in the RATIONALE-307 trial for a type of lung cancer called squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to learn more about their health outcomes over time by only including those who were still alive when the original trial ended.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07479277Recruiting
Progel to reduce air leaks after lung surgery
This trial tests whether a special gel (Progel Platinum) can reduce air leaks that sometimes happen after lung cancer surgery. It is for people having minimally invasive surgery to remove the upper or lower lobe of the lung.
Candiolo, TorinoAges 18–99 - NCT07480213RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK cell therapy for relapsed small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called dual-target CAR-NK cells for people with small cell lung cancer that has returned or not responded to treatment. The treatment uses your own immune cells, modified in a lab, to better recognize and attack cancer cells.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07480616Recruiting
Indonesian asthma breathing exercise for stable asthma
This study tests a special Indonesian breathing exercise program for adults with stable asthma. It aims to see if this routine helps improve your lung function and asthma control.
JakartaAges 18–65 - NCT07482475Recruiting
COPD study for people getting lung cancer screening
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 50–80 - NCT07483112Recruiting
