How Household Mold Affects Your Health
This study looks at whether mold and toxins in your home are connected to physical and mental health problems. Researchers will analyze dust samples you've already tested to understand these links better.
Richmond, VirginiaAges Any age - NCT05598528Recruiting
Study why some lung cancers don’t respond to EGFR pills
This study looks at why certain EGFR-positive advanced lung cancers resist third-generation EGFR tablet treatment given as the first treatment. Your body samples and scan results help researchers understand the resistance, which may guide better future care.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07606703RecruitingPhase 2
Madecassoside for Hardened Skin After Bone Marrow Transplant
This trial tests whether a plant-derived medicine called madecassoside can help treat sclerotic chronic graft-versus-host disease (a hardening and tightening of the skin that sometimes happens after bone marrow transplant). You would take tablets and be monitored to see if your skin condition improves.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 14–65 - NCT07603921Recruiting
Local Pain Relief Injection During Lung Surgery
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07608328RecruitingPhase 4
Azithromycin to Reduce Bronchiectasis Flare-Ups
This study tests whether a common antibiotic called azithromycin can help prevent flare-ups (sudden worsening) of bronchiectasis—a lung condition where airways become permanently enlarged and damaged. Patients will take azithromycin or a placebo for 12 months to see if it reduces how often they get sick.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT07604805Recruiting
Chinese herbal medicine for severe lung blood pressure
This trial tests whether Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can safely improve symptoms and heart function in people with severe pulmonary hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure in the lungs). You would take this medicine alongside or instead of other treatments to see if it helps you walk farther and feel better.
Guangzhou, GuagdongAges 18–75 - NCT07607080Recruiting
Predicting Treatment Success for High-Flow Oxygen Support
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07609121RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and two newer cancer-fighting drugs (tislelizumab and surufatinib) for patients with Stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07605117Recruiting
Special Exercise Training for COPD Patients
This study tests a new type of exercise training called isoinertial training (using special equipment that adjusts resistance as you move) for people with moderate to severe COPD. The goal is to see if this training can help improve your breathing, strength, and ability to do daily activities.
Bogotá, Bogotá, DCAges 50–80 - NCT07610447Recruiting
