Study of HSK31858 for non-CF bronchiectasis
This trial tests a new medicine, HSK31858, for people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (a lung condition causing chronic cough and infections). It aims to see if the drug reduces lung flare-ups and improves symptoms.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07045376Recruiting
Surgical smoke safety training for operating room nurses
This study tests a multi-strategy education program to help operating room nurses learn about the risks of surgical smoke and how to prevent harm. If you are an OR nurse, this training may improve your knowledge and safety habits.
Chiayi City, Puzi CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07107243Recruiting
Using a new measurement to predict airway safety in tracheostomy patients
This trial tests if a new measurement called TTPEE can help doctors predict if the upper airway will stay open safely in people who have a tracheostomy and have recently been weaned off a ventilator.
Hunan, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05860803Recruiting
Breathing training plus exercise to improve breathing capacity
This study looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 21–80 - NCT07513298Recruiting

This study tests whether playing specially designed Wii video games that involve aerobic exercise can help overweight children improve their reaction time and lung function. The goal is to see if gaming-based exercise can be an engaging way for kids to get healthier.
CairoAges 10–15 - NCT07514364RecruitingPhase 4
Rifabutin for Mycobacterium abscessus lung infection
This study tests whether an antibiotic called rifabutin works better for treating a difficult lung infection (Mycobacterium abscessus) that resists a common antibiotic. You may qualify if you've been diagnosed with this infection and your lab tests show it can resist clarithromycin.
