This study tests an investigational medicine called tilrekimig for people with severe asthma that isn't well controlled. It aims to reduce asthma attacks and improve breathing.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 12–80 - NCT06561620RecruitingPhase 4
Befotertinib after surgery for early-stage lung cancer
This trial tests a pill called befortinib for people with early-stage lung cancer who have had surgery. It aims to lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You might qualify if your tumor had certain high-risk features and you still have cancer DNA in your blood after surgery.

Glowing dye to help surgeons see lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye that makes lung cancer cells glow during surgery, helping surgeons remove more of the tumor. It's for people who are already scheduled for lung cancer surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07772479Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two biopsy needles for lung nodule diagnosis
This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Beijing, ChaoyangAges 18–90 - NCT07774520RecruitingPhase 2
Lower dose of lazertinib plus magnesium to prevent nerve damage in advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a lower starting dose of the targeted therapy drug lazertinib combined with magnesium supplements to prevent a common side effect (peripheral neuropathy) in people with advanced lung cancer caused by certain EGFR mutations. The goal is to see if this approach keeps the drug effective while reducing nerve damage symptoms like numbness or tingling.
Seoul, Gang-nam GuAges 19 years+ - NCT07770139Enrolling by invitation
Online yoga and breathing for student stress relief
This study compares two online programs—one with yoga poses and breathing, the other adding a special breathing technique—to see if they help reduce stress and improve well-being in university students.
IstanbulAges 18–30 - NCT07771855RecruitingPhase 2
Antibody treatment for chronic lung disease after stem cell transplant
This study tests a new antibody medicine called tezelumab for patients who develop a breathing problem called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after a stem cell transplant. The trial aims to see if this medicine can reduce flare-ups and improve lung function.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07775235Recruiting
Treatment outcomes for muscle inflammation with rapid lung disease
This study looks at how well treatments work for people with muscle inflammation (myositis) that causes a fast-progressing lung condition. It may help doctors find better ways to manage this serious combination.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07768644Recruiting
Nailfold microscope study for pulmonary hypertension
This study uses a special microscope to look at the tiny blood vessels at the base of your fingernails. It aims to see if these vessels can help doctors understand and monitor pulmonary hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs.
Clydebank, West DunbartonshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07771101Recruiting
Using a pain monitor to time breathing-tube removal
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07770100RecruitingPhase 2
Matching immunotherapy and targeted radiation for advanced cancer
This trial tests combining immunotherapy (a treatment that boosts your immune system to fight cancer) with a targeted type of radiation called SBRT, which precisely delivers high-dose radiation to multiple cancer spots. The main goal is to see if this combination helps control metastatic cancer (cancer that has spread) better than standard care.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07770022Recruiting
Long COVID biomarker study for UCSF participants
This study looks for signs of Long COVID in the blood and gut to better understand the condition. If you have Long COVID or were exposed to the virus without developing it, you may be able to help.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04147286RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Atorvastatin to lower lingering inflammation after TB treatment
This trial studies whether atorvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can reduce ongoing inflammation after you finish standard tuberculosis (TB) treatment. If it works, it may improve how your body recovers after TB, especially by lowering inflammation-related signals.
Observatory, WCAges 18–65 - NCT06354959Recruiting
Prehab program before lung or esophageal cancer surgery
This program helps you get stronger and healthier before your lung or esophageal cancer surgery. It's called 'prehab' and aims to improve your recovery after the operation.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06331208Recruiting
Mechanisms of Lung Blood Vessel Problems in Heart Failure
This study looks at how heart failure affects blood vessels in the lungs. If you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and need a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06180005Recruiting
Lung cancer genetic drivers study at CRO Aviano
This study is looking at people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to find certain genetic changes that drive the cancer. It may help doctors understand which treatments could work best for you.
Aviano, PordenoneAges Any age - NCT02496468Recruiting
Study for children with wheezing or asthma symptoms
This study follows children with wheezing (in younger kids) or doctor-diagnosed asthma (in older kids). It aims to better understand asthma and related breathing problems and how they develop over time.
CologneAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06501391RecruitingPhase 2
