Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.

Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT05099939Recruiting
Monitoring sugar changes in adults with cystic fibrosis
This study uses continuous glucose monitoring (a sensor that checks blood sugar trends) to understand how sugar handling changes over time in people with cystic fibrosis. It may help doctors spot early “pre-diabetes” or abnormal sugar patterns sooner.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06368089Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for patients on a ventilator
This study tests two types of breathing exercises for people who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours and are ready to start breathing on their own. The goal is to see which exercise helps them get off the ventilator faster.
SongkhlaAges 40–80 - NCT06677346Recruiting
Parity and breathing muscle strength in women
This study examines how many children a woman has might relate to her breathing muscle strength. It could help understand respiratory health differences.
IstanbulAges 20–45 - NCT04763447RecruitingPhase 4
Short omalizumab treatment for severe allergic asthma
This trial tests whether stopping omalizumab for a short time (or using it differently) can be safe for adults with severe allergic asthma who are doing well. It may help some people avoid long-term injections, but only if asthma remains well controlled.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06388031RecruitingPhase 2
Re-trying immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer after long-term success
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy again can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease stayed stable for at least 2 years on their first immunotherapy but then started growing. It aims to see if a second course of treatment can work again.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06480604Recruiting
Probiotic for yeast infection prevention
This trial tests if taking a multi-strain probiotic daily can prevent repeat yeast infections in women who have had at least three infections in the past year.
Vadodara, GujaratAges 18–50 - NCT06677580Recruiting
OSA digital network for early diagnosis and monitoring
This trial tests a digital tool to help diagnose and monitor obstructive sleep apnea earlier. It may help people with sleep apnea get better care.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07662395RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug plus chemo for advanced squamous lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SCTB41) combined with chemotherapy for people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer who have not had any prior treatment. It aims to see if this combination works better than standard therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07660731RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of an experimental asthma medicine
This study tests an experimental medicine (PF-08103402) to see how well it is tolerated and how it acts in the body, in healthy adults and in people with mild-to-moderate asthma. Participation may help researchers learn if this treatment could help manage asthma symptoms.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–65 - NCT07660094RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to immunotherapy
This trial tests a new investigational medicine (aglatimagene besadenovec) plus pembrolizumab against standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with stage IV non-squamous lung cancer that has stopped responding to pembrolizumab. The new treatment is given as a tumor injection (like a biopsy) along with a pill (prodrug) and an infusion of pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if it can re-engage the immune system to fight the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07660055RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (called 177Lu-DWJ155) that targets and kills cancer cells, along with a similar imaging agent (68Ga-DWJ155) used to see where the drug goes in the body. It is for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06679777Recruiting
Swedish heart and lung imaging study 2
This study invites people who already took part in the first SCAPIS study to have follow-up heart and lung imaging. It helps researchers learn how these organs change over time.
