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.

CRP test for adults with respiratory infection in primary care
This trial tests whether a simple finger-prick test (C-reactive protein or CRP) can help doctors decide whether antibiotics are needed for adults with a cold or other respiratory infection. If you are an adult with recent symptoms and have not taken antibiotics yet, you may be able to join.
JakartaAges 18 years+ - NCT07716280Recruiting
Text message help for lung cancer screening in safety-net clinics
This study tests if text messages can help people who are at risk for lung cancer get screened. If you are a current or former smoker between 50 and 80 years old, and speak English or Spanish, this may help remind you or guide you to get a lung cancer check.

Creating a prediction score for lung transplant or death in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
This study is creating a simple scoring system to predict who with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency-related emphysema might need a lung transplant or die from the disease. Your medical records from 2010–2025 will help build this tool, with no extra tests or visits required.
BronAges 18 years+ - 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.

Study of COVID-19 effects on heart emergency care
This study looks at how the COVID-19 outbreak affected care for people admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. It may help hospitals improve how they plan and respond during major outbreaks.

Telerehabilitation program for people with COPD at home
This trial tests whether supervised rehab exercises delivered by phone/video (telerehabilitation) can help people living with COPD. You may be a fit if you’re an adult with COPD who hasn’t done pulmonary rehabilitation before and can use a smartphone.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT05487391RecruitingPhase 3
QL1706 plus chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial studies whether a study drug called QL1706 added to standard platinum chemotherapy can lower the chance of lung cancer coming back after surgery. It targets people with stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who have had their tumor fully removed.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05745961Recruiting
Measuring a lung protein in pulmonary artery hypertension
This study measures how much of a specific lung protein (TSPO) is present in people with pulmonary artery hypertension. The results may help researchers better understand the disease and guide future treatments.
LondonAges 25–75 - NCT06350110RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T cells for lupus
This trial tests a new type of CAR T cell therapy for people with active lupus that has not responded to other treatments. It uses specially engineered cells to target and eliminate certain immune cells that are causing the disease, with the goal of reducing symptoms and preventing flare-ups.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT05902559Recruiting
Study of new lung-check biomarkers in older adults
This study looks at new blood or test “biomarkers” to understand how well targeted lung health checks work. You join if you’re already attending the NHS lung health check program and can consent.
LondonAges 55–74 - NCT06538012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tumor immune cells plus pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new approach: taking immune cells from your own tumor (TILs), growing them in the lab, then giving them back to you along with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. It is for people with advanced lung cancer who have run out of standard options.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–90 - NCT06607770RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cryoablation with immunotherapy for multiple lung cancers
This trial tests freezing tumors (cryoablation) combined with two drugs (Karelizumab and Apatinib) for people who have several small lung cancer spots in their lungs but no spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink or control the tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06638528Recruiting
Can Walking and Breath-Holding Reduce Pain Sensitivity?
This study tests a special breathing technique called 'walking apnea' (holding your breath while walking) to see if it can reduce pain sensitivity. Healthy volunteers will do this exercise, and researchers will measure how it affects your pain perception.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06638515Recruiting
Walking and breathing exercise for pain relief
This study tests whether a specific breathing exercise (walking while breathing at a low lung volume) can reduce pain sensitivity. It's looking for healthy people who have no ongoing medical conditions or pain.

Virtual palliative care team for veterans with heart or lung disease
This study tests a virtual team of nurses and social workers who provide palliative care to veterans with heart failure, COPD, or interstitial lung disease. The goal is to improve quality of life by offering extra support at home.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07709364Recruiting
Heart rate feedback to help nurses make better decisions
