Using a stress ball during breathing support therapy
This trial tests whether squeezing a stress ball can help reduce stress and anxiety in people who are using a breathing mask that supports their breathing (non-invasive ventilation). It might make the experience more comfortable and help you feel calmer during treatment.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07755020Recruiting
Blood test using new chip to find and monitor lung cancer
This study tests a new chip that may detect lung cancer from a blood sample. It will compare blood from people with lung cancer and people without, possibly helping to find or monitor the disease in the future.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT07750288Recruiting
Studying shortness of breath in children with acute respiratory distress
This study looks at how shortness of breath (dyspnea) relates to the progression of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), a severe lung condition in children. It aims to understand breathing difficulties better to improve care.
SantiagoAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07751536Recruiting
Proton radiation and intrathecal chemo for lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining
This trial tests a combination of proton radiation to the brain and spine plus chemotherapy given directly into the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread to the lining of the brain and has continued to grow despite taking a third-generation TKI medicine like osimertinib.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT07754812RecruitingPhase 4
Oral paclitaxel with immunotherapy and SBRT before surgery for older adults with lung cancer
This trial tests a new way to treat non-small cell lung cancer in people aged 70 or older. You will receive oral chemotherapy (paclitaxel) with immunotherapy and focused radiation (SBRT) before surgery, hoping to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 70 years+ - NCT07755384Recruiting
Stomach and throat exam study at high altitude
This study looks at what doctors see in the upper digestive tract (stomach and food pipe) of people living at high altitude, using a sedated endoscopy (a camera tube down the throat while you sleep). It helps understand how high altitude affects the digestive system.
Yushu, QinghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07755397RecruitingPhase 1
Study of JBI-778 for lung, brain, and salivary gland tumors
This trial tests a new oral medication, JBI-778, in patients with certain types of lung cancer, brain tumors, or salivary gland cancer. The drug is designed to target specific genetic changes in these tumors, and the study aims to assess its safety and effectiveness.
Surat, GujaratAges 18 years+ - NCT07751042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of STX-003 with and without pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called STX-1, given alone or with another drug that helps the immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors, especially certain types of lung cancer or melanoma, who have already tried standard treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06527898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Short-course radiation plus immunotherapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer
This study tests using a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) combined with immunotherapy for people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works better at controlling the cancer and may cause fewer side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06599892Recruiting
