Statins to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation After Lung Surgery
This trial tests whether taking a statin before and after lung surgery can prevent a common heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (AFib). If you are 60 or older and having a lung segment or lobe removed, this study may help you avoid AFib after your operation.

Full-course ECMO for moderate-to-severe ARDS
This trial tests a full-course strategy using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO) for people with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. The goal is to see if starting and continuing ECMO throughout treatment improves recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07725510Recruiting
Comparing two special microscope techniques during lung biopsy
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (CLE and ROSE) used during a bronchoscopy to check lung samples right away. The goal is to see which technique better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis from a small lung nodule.

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.
JerusalemAges 6 months+ - NCT07731958Recruiting
One vs both lungs surgery for emphysema
This trial compares removing damaged parts of one lung versus both lungs to help people with severe COPD breathe better. It looks at which approach gives better results with fewer risks.
CopenhagenAges 18–75 - NCT07724938Recruiting
Combination tonsil removal and nerve implant for sleep apnea
This study tests if removing the tonsils together with implanting a nerve stimulator (Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation) can better treat sleep apnea in people whose throat sides collapse during sleep.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06628102Recruiting
Breath test for early lung cancer detection
This study tests a breath test to detect lung cancer early in people with a lung nodule found on a CT scan. It aims to improve detection in diverse populations.

Alcohol and drug effects on immunity in ICU breathing patients
This study looks at how alcohol and other drugs can affect the body’s immune system in people who are very sick in the ICU due to breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand immune changes during critical illness and respiratory failure.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT06396767Recruiting
Breathing test before heart surgery to predict lung problems
This study uses a simple breathing test before scheduled heart surgery to see if it can help predict breathing or lung complications after the operation. The results may help doctors identify patients who need extra support during recovery.
London, OntarioAges 19–99 - NCT06634264Recruiting
Comparing two therapies for children with sleep apnea after surgery
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
Montreal, QuebecAges 4–14 - NCT06632886Recruiting
AI study to find cancers from your past CT scans
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at CT scans you've already had (without dye) to try and find signs of several types of cancer early. It may help find cancer sooner when it's easier to treat.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07718724Recruiting
Asthma treatment study for people using high-dose inhalers
This study tests if a treatment plan called GDMT can help people whose asthma is not well controlled even with high-dose inhaled steroids and long-acting bronchodilators. It is for adults who have had at least one asthma flare-up in the past year.
ChengduAges Any age - NCT07720375RecruitingPhase 2
Study of galvokimig for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis
This study tests a new medicine called galvokimig for adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, a condition where airways are damaged and cause chronic cough and sputum. The goal is to see if it reduces flare-ups and improves lung health.
Brandon, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT02480283Recruiting
Study of cannabis smoke and lung immune response
This study compares people who smoke cannabis daily with people who have never used cannabis. It looks at how cannabis smoke affects lung stress and the lungs’ immune defenses, using health tests and urine screening to keep participants safe.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–55 - NCT07721649Recruiting
Flu shot during hospital stay for heart patients
This study checks if giving a flu shot to heart patients while they are in the hospital helps prevent heart problems later. It tests whether the flu shot can reduce the risk of further heart events.

Combining two immunotherapies for solid tumors, melanoma, and lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (bexmarilimab) plus nivolumab (an approved immunotherapy) for people with advanced solid tumors, melanoma, or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has stopped responding to standard treatments.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT07723144Recruiting
Identifying sleep apnea biomarkers
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
