Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.

Brain Blood Flow Monitoring in Critically Ill Children
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1 day–17 years - NCT07617376RecruitingPhase 4
Flu shot before leaving hospital after heart problems
This study tests whether giving a flu vaccine to patients before they leave the hospital after a heart condition improves their health. The vaccine may help protect your heart and prevent serious flu complications while you recover.
WroclawAges 18 years+ - NCT07614685Recruiting
MRI and Breathing Tests to Study Healthy Lung Function
This study uses advanced MRI imaging and breathing tests to understand how healthy lungs work. Researchers are developing new ways to measure lung function that might help doctors diagnose lung disease earlier in the future.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07612956Recruiting
High-altitude training effects on teenage rowers' performance
This study tests whether training at high altitude for 4 weeks helps teenage male rowers improve their sport performance, fitness, and heart and lung health. Researchers will measure changes in body composition, rowing ability, and how well your heart and lungs work.
Macao, MacaoAges 12–19 - NCT07613424Recruiting
Gene Testing Study for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study collects and analyzes lung cancer tissue samples to understand genetic differences that may help guide future treatment. You'll provide a tissue sample (either from a biopsy or prior surgery), and researchers will study it—no treatment is given in this study.

Safety Study of HSK31858 for Bronchiectasis
This study tests how safe an experimental inhaled medicine (HSK31858) is for people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, a lung condition where airways are damaged and collect mucus. You can only join if you already completed a previous HSK31858 study.
