Supraglottic airway for newborn breathing support
This study tests whether a special breathing tube placed above the voice box (called a supraglottic airway) works better than the usual mask or tube to help newborns who need breathing support right after birth. It is for babies born at or after 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth+ - NCT07058519RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized osimertinib treatment guided by blood test for EGFR lung cancer
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for advanced lung cancer with an EGFR mutation. It uses a blood test (ctDNA) to guide treatment with osimertinib (a targeted pill) plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adjusting therapy based on the blood test results can help you live longer with fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07520565RecruitingPhase 3
Emergency stroke treatment with BXOS110 within 3 hours
This trial tests whether BXOS110, an experimental injection, can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) when given within 3 hours of symptom onset. The study compares BXOS110 to a placebo to see if it reduces disability and improves recovery.
Hengshui, HebeiAges 18–85 - NCT07107490RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALPS12 for advanced small cell lung cancer
This study tests a new drug called ALPS12 for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has come back after at least one prior treatment. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05965128Recruiting
Testing a new 3-step diagnosis for fever and lung infections
This study tests a new, step-by-step way doctors identify what’s causing sudden fever and respiratory infections (like pneumonia or flu-like illness). It may help clinicians diagnose faster and choose the right next care.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 12–100 - NCT07553611Recruiting
Regional anesthesia and shoulder surgery recovery outcomes
This study compares different numbing techniques used during shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive shoulder surgery) to see which one helps patients recover better, use less pain medication, and experience fewer complications like temporary paralysis of the breathing muscle under the rib cage.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–65 - NCT05703971RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Maintenance treatment with a gene therapy plus atezolizumab
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether a gene therapy called Reqorsa given with atezolizumab can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) stay controlled after their first chemo. It may help by boosting the immune system to keep the cancer from growing again.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07169708Recruiting
Study of nivolumab and chemo before surgery for lung cancer
This trial looks at real-world outcomes in Taiwan for people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who get nivolumab combined with chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to understand how well this treatment works and how safe it is.
Kaohsiung CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07137923Recruiting
Improving asthma care in kids at CHOP clinics
This trial tests a new way to help children with asthma get better care. It looks at whether special tools and support can improve how well their asthma is controlled.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 5–18 - NCT07308106RecruitingPhase 2
Testing SKB571 for MET-mutated advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SKB571 for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific change in the MET gene. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06713603Recruiting
Digital smoking cessation with motivational counseling
This study tests a digital program that uses personalized counseling over video or phone to help people stop smoking. It is for adults who smoke daily, have a primary care doctor, and can use a smartphone or computer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06853678Recruiting
Immunotherapy after first treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer
This trial tests immunotherapy drugs for extensive stage small cell lung cancer that has progressed after initial (first-line) chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have finished standard treatment and your cancer has worsened.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06513416Recruiting
Gut bacteria and lung problems after surgery in older adults
This study tests whether the bacteria in your gut are linked to lung complications after a long abdominal surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a scheduled upper abdominal surgery, researchers want to understand how your microbiome affects your recovery.

Steroid versus placebo for sudden worsening of lung scarring
This Phase 3 trial studies whether glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine helps people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who have a sudden flare-up, compared with an inactive placebo. You may be helped if steroids improve breathing and recovery during these acute episodes, but the study is designed to test that clearly.
