Brain chemical study for sleep apnea and snoring
This study looks at how a brain chemical called 5-HT7 affects sleep apnea by testing different groups: people with sleep apnea, people who snore, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find new ways to help regulate breathing during sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–60 - NCT06247163Recruiting
PET-guided radiation for small cell lung cancer
This trial uses PET scans to guide radiotherapy for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer, aiming to improve treatment accuracy. It is designed for those whose cancer has not spread extensively.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT02979951Recruiting
IV fosfomycin for serious bacterial infections
This trial studies whether IV (through a vein) fosfomycin can treat severe bacterial infections in adults. It may help people whose infection is covered by the standard fosfomycin use and who need hospital-level care.
Hall in TirolAges 18 years+ - NCT06452199Recruiting
Bifidobacterium infantis for newborns study (BEGIN)
This study gives healthy newborns a probiotic supplement called Bifidobacterium infantis to see if it helps with growth, immune health, and reducing inflammation. It may be a safe way to support your baby's early development.
Herning, Central JutlandAges 1 day–1 week - NCT06499233RecruitingPhase 4
Study on preventing pneumocystis pneumonia in autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether a preventive treatment can stop pneumocystis pneumonia (a lung infection) in people with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases who are taking steroids or other immune-suppressing medicines. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to protect you from this serious infection.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07738367Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Bronchial artery chemoembolization with drug therapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a treatment called bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) combined with drug therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. BACE delivers chemotherapy directly to the tumor through the blood vessel that feeds it, which may help control the cancer when standard treatments have stopped working.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05218356RecruitingPhase 2
Codivir trial for hospitalized moderate COVID-19
This trial tests whether Codivir can help people hospitalized with moderate COVID-19 recover better than a placebo (inactive pill). It will compare outcomes while participants receive standard hospital care.
Paulo Prata, Barretos/SP/BRAAges 18–75 - NCT07736872Recruiting
Sleep apnea screening in diverse groups
This study is screening people from different backgrounds for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). It uses a sleep test and questionnaires to see if you might have it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07740239Recruiting
Study on frailty in seriously ill adults
This study looks at why some seriously ill adults become frail. It involves imaging and other tests to help doctors better understand and care for patients with serious conditions.
TampereAges Any age - NCT07740213Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea study at Sohag University hospitals
This study looks at people who have obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It may help doctors understand this condition better and improve care for patients.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07739446Enrolling by invitation
Do face masks help prevent catching the flu or COVID-19?
This trial looks at whether wearing surgical masks when out in public can reduce your chances of getting the flu or COVID-19. If you join, you'll be assigned by chance to either wear a mask outside for 3-4 months or not wear one, and you'll be tested if you get sick.
ChibaAges 20–49 - NCT07739121Recruiting
Testing AI vs. tumor boards for cancer treatment advice
This trial compares treatment recommendations from large language models (AI) against those from experienced tumor boards for five common cancer types. The goal is to see if AI can help doctors make better decisions.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT07738172RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib with or without lung tumor surgery for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer
This study tests whether adding surgery to remove the main lung tumor improves outcomes for people with stage 4 lung cancer that has a specific EGFR mutation and only limited spread. If you qualify, you will take the targeted drug osimertinib for 12 weeks, and if the tumor responds, you may be randomly assigned to either continue the drug alone or have the main tumor surgically removed and then continue the drug.
