Blood clotting test to predict outcomes after brain tumor surgery
This study looks at a special blood test (called thromboelastography) that checks how well your blood clots. The goal is to see if this test can predict how the surgery goes and whether you might get a blood clot after surgery. If you join, the test will be done before and after your brain surgery, and you will be monitored for any blood clot complications.

How lung disease treatment may affect heart function
This study looks at how common long-term lung conditions and their treatments may change heart function. It uses heart imaging (an MRI) to see what’s happening, which could help doctors better monitor heart risks in people with lung disease.
AachenAges 18–99 - NCT06197204Recruiting
Finding biomarkers in Langerhans cell histiocytosis
This study is looking for adults with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and also for adults with certain lung conditions (like cystic lung disease or emphysema) or healthy smokers to act as controls. The goal is to find biomarkers (signs in the body) that can help doctors diagnose LCH, predict how it will progress, and see how well treatment is working.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07807163RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ficerafusp alfa with pembrolizumab for head and neck cancer
This study tests a new drug called ficerafusp alfa combined with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) in people with head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. The drug targets a protein that may help the immune system fight the cancer. The study is comparing two different schedules of giving the drug to see which is better.
Fort Myers, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07805707RecruitingPhase 3
Flu vaccine study for adults 65 and older
This study tests a new flu vaccine in adults aged 65 and older to see how well it prevents the flu. If you are generally healthy or manage chronic conditions well, you may be able to join.
Anniston, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT07806604Recruiting
Icotinib after surgery for early lung cancer with EGFR mutation
This trial studies a pill called icotinib, given after lung cancer surgery, to see if it helps prevent the cancer from returning in people with early-stage, EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. It is a real-world study, meaning it looks at how the treatment works in routine practice.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07801508RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of a new imaging agent for people with advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a radioactive imaging agent that may help doctors see tumors more clearly using a special scan. It is designed for adults with certain breast, lung, or stomach cancers that have spread.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07805330Recruiting
Blood flow restriction rehab for COPD balance and mobility
This study tests a special exercise method that uses a cuff to limit blood flow in the arms or legs while you exercise. It may help improve your balance and ability to move around if you have COPD.
LahoreAges 20–65 - NCT07805590Recruiting
How respiratory viruses interact in hospitalized patients
This study looks at how different respiratory viruses interact in hospitalized patients during the winter seasons. It does not involve any new treatment or extra tests – it just reviews existing test results to learn more about these viruses.
Lyon, RhoneAges Any age - NCT07807046Recruiting
Guided atracurium dosing in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a device to guide the dosing of atracurium (a muscle relaxant) improves outcomes in critically ill ICU patients who need this medication for more than 48 hours. It focuses on patients with severe lung or heart conditions, such as ARDS or ECMO support.
New Taipei CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07806682Recruiting
Low-intensity exercise for lung cancer fatigue relief
This trial tests whether a gentle, low-intensity endurance exercise program can improve energy levels, quality of life, and certain health measures in lung cancer patients who feel tired. It aims to help you feel better during and after cancer treatment.
