Monitoring health in head, neck, lung & rectal cancer
This trial is studying how a monitoring method (bioimpedance) works for people with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are about to start standard treatment. It may help doctors track your health better during therapy.

Steroids for severe breathing problems in the ICU
This study tests whether a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) can help people with severe breathing problems or serious infections who have a specific 'hyperinflammatory' pattern. If you are in the ICU on a ventilator, this trial may be an option for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07513051Recruiting
Breathing Support and Diaphragm Movement in Premature Newborns
This study watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
CréteilAges 3 days–2 months - NCT07513818Recruiting
Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer in France
This study tests whether regular low-dose CT scans (a type of X-ray) can find lung cancer early in current or former smokers. Early detection may help catch cancer when it's easier to treat.
Lyon, FranceAges 50–74 - NCT07514481Recruiting
Lung ultrasound comparison of two surfactant delivery methods in preterm babies
This study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a lung-coating medicine) to newborns with breathing trouble: LISA (a gentler, less invasive method) versus traditional breathing tube delivery. Researchers will use ultrasound to see how the medicine spreads in each baby's lungs to find the best approach.
DohaAges 6 months–10 months - NCT07514754Recruiting
Immunonutrition support during cancer treatment
This study tests whether special nutritional support (called immunonutrition) helps patients with head and neck, lung, or rectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it improves how well treatment works and how you feel during and after cancer care.
Candiolo, Torino (TO)Ages 18 years+ - NCT07516418RecruitingPhase 1
RSV and Flu H5 Vaccine Formulations Study
This study tests different versions of experimental vaccines designed to protect against RSV (a common respiratory virus) and flu H5. You'll receive one of these vaccines and be monitored to see how safe it is and how your body responds.
Griffith, QueenslandAges 18–49 - NCT07517198RecruitingPhase 1
EXS74539 Study for Advanced Solid Tumors
This is an early-stage study testing a new cancer drug called EXS74539 to find the right dose and see how well it works in people with various advanced solid tumors. The drug may help patients whose cancers have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07517393Recruiting
Creating a Digital Lung Model Using AI and CT Scans
This study collects information from your chest CT scans and medical history to build an artificial intelligence model of how your lungs work. This 'digital twin' may help doctors better understand and predict lung health in the future.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 18 years+ - NCT07517926Recruiting
Chewing gum and cold water gargle after lung breathing tube procedure
This study tests whether chewing gum and gargling with cold water can reduce sore throat and other discomfort after a bronchoscopy—a procedure where doctors look inside your airways with a thin camera. If it works, it could be a simple, safe way to feel better after the procedure.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07518472Recruiting
Box Breathing and Lung Exercises for COPD Shortness of Breath
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique called box breathing, combined with short-term breathing exercises, can help reduce shortness of breath and improve daily functioning in people with mild COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
IslamabadAges 40–65 - NCT07518446Recruiting
Health Screening for Adults Starting Psychiatric Care
This study checks the physical health of adults beginning treatment for serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia or depression at two Danish clinics. It aims to catch health problems early that people with these conditions often experience.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07518862Recruiting
Using heart rate to guide oxygen therapy settings
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (heart rate monitoring) to help doctors adjust the flow of oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula. It may help improve how well this breathing support works for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07519603Recruiting
Exercise program for older adults with COPD and frailty
This study tests whether a structured exercise and training program called VIVIFRAIL can help older adults with COPD feel stronger and more independent. You'll participate in guided physical activities designed to improve your strength and daily functioning.
Hanoi, HanoiAges 60 years+ - NCT07519876Recruiting
Blood Clots in the Lungs and Heart Shunts Study
This study looks at whether people with blood clots in their lungs have hidden holes in their hearts that let blood bypass normal circulation. Researchers will use imaging tests to understand this connection and see if it affects how patients do.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07520656Recruiting
Heart Valve Surgery and Sleep Breathing Problems
This study looks at whether fixing heart valve problems with minimally invasive procedures (TAVI or MTEER) can improve sleep-related breathing issues. Researchers will monitor your sleep patterns before and after your scheduled heart valve procedure.
Athens, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07521254Recruiting
High-flow oxygen and breathing support for acute respiratory failure
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07521956Recruiting
Mindfulness training for recreational runners
This study tests whether a mindfulness program can help recreational runners improve their performance, breathing, and heart rate patterns. If you're a regular runner, this trial explores whether mental training alongside your running could enhance your physical abilities.
