Predicting ABPA Recurrence Using Blood and Immune Markers
This study helps doctors predict whether allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)—a serious lung condition caused by fungal allergy—will come back after treatment. Researchers will analyze blood samples and immune system markers to identify patients at higher risk of relapse, which could improve how doctors monitor and treat you.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07611903Recruiting
Oxygen delivery methods during endoscopy procedure
This trial compares two different ways of delivering oxygen through your nose during an endoscopy procedure (ERCP, which examines your bile ducts and pancreas). The study tests whether one method keeps your oxygen levels safer or more comfortable than the other.

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 - 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 - NCT06703359Recruiting
A short walking test to predict survival in COPD
This study looks at how well a 6-minute stepper test (a simple exercise test) can predict survival in people with COPD. It aims to understand if this test can help doctors know more about a patient's future health.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06711159Recruiting
Searching for a biomarker of sleepiness in severe sleep apnea
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
Koege, Regional ZealandAges 18 years+ - NCT06713512Recruiting
Estrogen and its effect on lung tissue in obstructive lung disease
This study looks at how the hormone estrogen affects the lungs of people with asthma or COPD. It will help researchers understand why these diseases may be different in women.
LondonAges 18–99 - NCT05986487Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for better blood pressure control
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
LleidaAges 18 years+ - NCT06641778Recruiting
Fecal transplant for drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia
This trial tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the lungs can help treat a severe pneumonia caused by a bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. It may offer a new option for people whose infection is not responding to standard treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06644430Recruiting
Burning lung spots plus systemic therapy for liver cancer
This trial tests whether burning away a few cancer spots in the lungs (called ablation) can help people with liver cancer who are already on a systemic treatment. If you have stable liver cancer and only a few lung spots that haven't grown, you may be eligible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06713187Recruiting
Interleukin-23 study in lupus and lung disease
This trial looks at a protein called interleukin-23 in people with lupus, especially those who also have lung inflammation (interstitial lung disease). The goal is to understand more about this protein's role and possibly find new ways to help.
SohagAges 18–60 - NCT06714149Recruiting
How nitrogen pollution affects pollen allergies
This study looks at how pollution from nitrogen in the environment affects pollen allergies in Belgium. It may help explain why your allergy symptoms change depending on where you live.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06235502Recruiting
Home exercise after COPD flare-up: the COPDtoParis project
This trial tests whether a long-term home exercise program helps people with COPD recover better after a hospital stay for a flare-up. You would exercise at home and may join rehabilitation to improve your breathing and daily life.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT03916809Recruiting
Voice and swallowing therapy device during head and neck cancer treatment
This trial tests whether using a mouth-based training device (called EMST150) during planned radiation (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with head and neck cancer with swallowing and related muscle function. It may be useful if you’re starting radiation for a cancer in the mouth, throat, or voice box area.
