Blood test to screen for early lung cancer in COPD patients
This study uses an AI-powered blood test to identify people at high risk for lung cancer early, before symptoms appear. You'd be helping researchers see if this blood test can catch lung cancer sooner in people with COPD who have a smoking history.
VejleAges 50 years+ - NCT07555210Recruiting
Bone Density Changes During Cancer Immunotherapy
This study tracks how a type of cancer treatment called anti-PD-1 immunotherapy affects bone strength over time. Researchers want to understand whether this treatment causes bone density loss and help develop ways to protect bones during cancer care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07556185Recruiting
Testing a home heart health monitoring app for kids
This study tests whether young people with heart conditions can use a home monitoring app called Medly to track their symptoms and weight. The app may help doctors catch problems earlier and keep kids healthier at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8–18 - NCT07557225Recruiting
New PET Scan for Detecting Multiple Cancer Types
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a specialized imaging test) that may better detect certain cancers by looking for a specific marker found on many tumor types. The scan uses a new tracer called 18F-T2 to help doctors see cancer more clearly.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07558447Recruiting
Studying Tiny Particles to Predict Chemotherapy Nerve Damage
This study looks at tiny particles in your blood to understand and potentially predict nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. Researchers will monitor you before, during, and after your cancer treatment to see if these particles can help warn doctors about this common side effect.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07558538RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Inhaled Growth Factor Treatment for Severe Lung Failure
This early-stage trial tests whether an inhaled medication called recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rh-KGF-2) can help patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)—a serious condition where the lungs cannot deliver enough oxygen to the blood. The drug is designed to help repair lung tissue damage.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07559019RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of BI115 for advanced small cell lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called BI115 in people with advanced small cell lung cancer (a fast-growing type of lung cancer). The study will check if the drug is safe and whether it helps slow or shrink the cancer.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07561190Recruiting
Studying tumor biology in malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study collects and analyzes tumor samples from patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining caused by asbestos exposure) to better understand the disease and find new treatment approaches. Researchers will examine your tumor at the molecular level to identify patterns that might help predict treatment outcomes.
CataniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07561567Recruiting
Breathing Control Device for Lung Cancer Radiation
This trial tests a new device that helps control your breathing during radiation therapy for early-stage lung cancer. By keeping your lungs still during treatment, the radiation is more accurate and may reduce side effects.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07561723RecruitingPhase 1
IMP3 Vaccine for Advanced Lung Cancer After Treatment Failure
This study tests a new vaccine designed to help your immune system fight advanced lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. The vaccine targets a protein called IMP3 found in your cancer cells.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07563205Recruiting
Study of Chemotherapy and Amivantamab for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study follows patients with advanced lung cancer (a type called non-small cell lung cancer) who are receiving a combination of chemotherapy and a drug called amivantamab. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and track your health outcomes over time.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT07563322Recruiting
Nicotinamide Riboside for Combined Pulmonary Hypertension
This study tests whether nicotinamide riboside (a B-vitamin supplement) can help people with combined pulmonary hypertension—a condition where blood pressure in the lungs is too high. The researchers want to understand how this supplement affects the body's energy metabolism and whether it might reduce symptoms and improve heart function.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–85 - NCT07563608Recruiting
Understanding High Blood Pressure in the Lungs for Dialysis Patients
This study investigates why some dialysis patients develop high blood pressure in their lung blood vessels and how it affects their health. Researchers will assess heart function and follow patients over time to better understand this condition.
