COVID-19 vaccine study for healthy adults aged 18 to 64
This trial tests a COVID-19 vaccine in healthy adults to see how well it works. It may be an option if you are not at higher risk for severe COVID-19 and have not had COVID-19 in the past 6 months.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18–64 - NCT07730021RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called ASP388B, given alone or with standard treatments, for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to therapy. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07723872Recruiting
Finger vs. earlobe oxygen test during a 6-minute walk
This study compares oxygen levels measured at the finger versus the earlobe during a 6-minute walk test for people with interstitial lung disease. It helps find the most accurate way to monitor your oxygen during exercise.
Granollers, SpainAges 18 years+ - NCT07730931Recruiting
Breathing test for lung problems after bone marrow transplant
This study tests a simple breathing test called Forced Oscillatory Technique (FOT) to detect early signs of a lung condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after a bone marrow transplant. Participating involves breathing normally into a mouthpiece during your regular lung function test.
