Testing two targeted pills for rare EGFR lung cancer
This study tests two oral targeted drugs, Befotertinib and Icotinib, in people with advanced lung cancer (NSCLC) that has one of three uncommon EGFR mutations. The trial aims to see how well these pills work when used as the first treatment for your cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06521944Recruiting
RSV vaccine safety registry for pregnant people
This registry follows pregnant people who received an RSV vaccine during a specific window (32 to 36 weeks) to monitor safety. If you got the shot in that time, your information helps researchers understand how well the vaccine works in pregnancy.
Wilmington, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT06523478Recruiting
Tonsil injection allergy shots for hay fever
This trial tests a new way to treat allergies by injecting allergy medicine directly into the tonsils. It may help people with hay fever who haven't gotten relief from standard treatments or want to avoid long-term medication.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 5–65 - NCT07795905Recruiting
Breathing exercise study for healthy young adults
This study compares three different exercise methods to see which one best strengthens your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and improves your overall breathing. If you are a healthy young adult, you might help find better ways to improve breathing fitness.
Sharjah cityAges 18–35 - NCT07792746Recruiting
Sleep apnea markers and use of CPAP therapy
This study looks at whether certain markers in sleep apnea patients can predict how well they will stick with CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night). If you're newly diagnosed and about to start CPAP, this could help personalize your care.
