Probiotics for COPD: symptoms, lungs, and inflammation
This study tests whether taking a probiotic can improve symptoms, lung function, and inflammation in people with COPD. It is for adults with stable COPD who have not had a flare-up or treatment change in the last two months.

Collaborative care for chronic pain patients
This trial tests a team-based treatment approach for people with chronic pain. You'll work with at least two pain clinic specialists to create a care plan that fits your needs.

Shorter antibiotics for children with common infections
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 months–17 years - NCT07313956Enrolling by invitation
Breathing machine method study in the ICU
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07312136Enrolling by invitation
Liver health follow-up in type 2 diabetes
This study follows up on people who already joined the EPSONIP trial to check how their liver health (MASLD) has changed over time. It uses MRI to look at the liver and does not test any new medicine.

AI vs. pathologists: Which diagnoses cancer better?
This study tests a new AI system called COSMO against pathologists to see which is better at diagnosing cancer from digital slides. If you are an experienced pathologist, you will review slides independently, and your results will be compared with the AI's.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07301983Enrolling by invitation
Testing a faster way to check lymph nodes in lung cancer surgery
This trial compares a new, quick test called OSNA to the standard method for checking lymph nodes in people with early-stage lung cancer who are having robotic surgery. The goal is to see if the new test works as well or better.
Pisa, PisaAges 18 years+ - NCT07301762Enrolling by invitation
Manual lymphatic drainage device for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests if a nightly automated manual lymphatic drainage device called Neuroglide can improve how the brain clears waste (glymphatic function) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may qualify if you are 50 or older, have sleep apnea, and regularly use CPAP.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT07285434Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Personalized vaccine for first-line advanced lung cancer
This study tests a personalized vaccine (Microlyvaq™) made just for your tumor, given together with standard chemo and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab). It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not yet started treatment for the advanced stage.
Thessaloniki, MacedoniaAges Any age - NCT07280572Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Platform trial of treatments for long COVID
This trial tests different treatments for long COVID (PCC) symptoms like fatigue and brain fog that started after a COVID infection. It aims to find which treatments help people recover.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80 - NCT07235345Enrolling by invitation
Lung medication with different oxygen levels for premature babies
This study tests a lung medication called pulmonary surfactant, given with different oxygen levels, to help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who have breathing difficulties. The goal is to see which oxygen level works best with non-invasive breathing support.
Henan, ZhengzhouAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07228702Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Bacteriophage therapy for one patient with lung infection
This is a special program for one patient with a lung infection from Mycobacterium abscessus. The trial uses a treatment with bacteriophages, which are viruses that attack specific bacteria.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT07218003Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Study of RNDO-564 alone or with pembrolizumab for bladder cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug, RNDO-564, either by itself or combined with another drug (pembrolizumab), for people with advanced bladder cancer or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217197Enrolling by invitation
A monitor to detect breathing problems after surgery
This trial tests a new respiratory monitoring system to see if it can detect and predict opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) — when pain medicines slow your breathing too much — in patients recovering from surgery. The monitor uses a face mask, nasal cannula, and small sensors to track breathing continuously, so that doctors can step in early if there is a problem.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07215871Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Second H10N7 flu challenge for prior participants
This study tests whether people who have already been exposed to a lab-made H10N7 flu virus can be safely exposed again. It checks how their immune system responds and how long they shed the virus, in a controlled, isolated setting.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–55 - NCT07214441Enrolling by invitation
BE+ program for lung cancer survivors
This trial tests a program called BE+ for people who have finished treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the program is practical and helpful for improving health after treatment.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT07203638Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotics to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics to adults on breathing machines lowers the risk of developing pneumonia during ventilation. It is a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know if you receive the antibiotic or a placebo.
Banhā, Al-QalyubiaAges 18–70 - NCT07176117Enrolling by invitation
Surfactant via airway device for breathing trouble in newborns
This trial tests if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) through a special airway device can help late preterm and early term infants with breathing problems. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current methods without needing a breathing tube.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 8 months–9 months - NCT07176013Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality meditation for voice therapy
This trial tests whether using virtual reality meditation can help people with voice disorders who also feel anxious. If you have a voice problem and anxiety, you might find this treatment helpful.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07171957Enrolling by invitation
Motor imagery for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
This trial studies whether practicing motor imagery (imagining movements without actually doing them) can help people with COPD improve their breathing and daily function. It may offer a new way to manage symptoms without physical exercise.
KütahyaAges 40–70 - NCT07169058Enrolling by invitation
Hands-on therapy for sleep apnea: a gentle technique
This study tests a gentle manual therapy applied to the neck to see if it can improve breathing and vital signs during sleep. It is for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are not currently using a CPAP machine or other breathing devices.
