Exercise order in lung rehab for COPD patients
This trial tests if the order of exercises during pulmonary rehabilitation can improve muscle strength in people with COPD. It compares different exercise sequences to find the most effective approach.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06633666Recruiting
Acupuncture for Long COVID brain and mood symptoms
This study tests whether acupuncture can help with brain fog, memory problems, depression, or anxiety that started after COVID-19 and won't go away. If you have Long COVID and these symptoms, acupuncture might offer relief.
Kowloon Tong, KowloonAges 18–80 - NCT05671887Recruiting
Double lung transplant registry for certain lung-limited cancers
This study follows people who are getting a double lung transplant and have specific lung-only (or lung-limited) cancer or other serious lung conditions. It’s an observational registry, meaning it collects real-world information to learn which patients may benefit from transplant and how they do afterward.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT05513508Recruiting
Tested a protective breathing mask in COPD and respiratory failure
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
NovaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06544148Recruiting
Measuring lung artery pressure with a chest belt in ICU patients
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure in your lung artery using a special belt that sends small electrical signals through your chest. It may help doctors monitor your heart and lungs without extra invasive procedures.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06681974RecruitingPhase 3
Throat therapy for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
SantanderAges 18–70 - NCT07640789RecruitingPhase 3
BL-B01D1 plus osimertinib for advanced lung cancer after chemotherapy
This study tests whether adding a new drug called BL-B01D1 to osimertinib (a targeted lung cancer medicine) works better than osimertinib alone. You may qualify if you have advanced lung cancer with an EGFR mutation that didn't get worse after chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07638891RecruitingPhase 1
HDM2020 for Advanced Squamous Lung Cancer
