Liver Function and Safety Study of AHB-137 Injection
This study tests how a new investigational drug called AHB-137 moves through your body and affects safety in people with mild-to-moderate liver problems compared to people with normal liver function. The goal is to understand if the drug works safely in people whose livers don't work as well as they should.

Asyut, Asyut EgyptAges 18 years+ - NCT07600801Recruiting
Lung Cancer Screening for People With Family History
This study looks at how to best screen people for lung cancer who have close relatives with a history of lung cancer. Researchers will use existing CT chest scans (imaging tests) to see if screening can help catch lung cancer early in high-risk families.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07603583Recruiting
Heart Rate Variability to Detect Sleep Apnea in Hypertension
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
Kaohsiung City, KaohsiungAges 18–65 - NCT07599696Recruiting
Speech Amplification Devices for Parkinson Disease
This research study tests special amplification devices designed to help people with Parkinson disease or related conditions speak more clearly. The goal is to improve how well others can understand your speech.
East Lansing, MichiganAges 50 years+ - NCT07595341Enrolling by invitation
Breathing Training for Competitive Swimmers
This study tests whether a special breathing-exercise program can improve how well swimmers' lungs work and their swimming performance. Researchers will teach swimmers techniques to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and measure how it affects their ability to swim.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07603167Enrolling by invitation
Photon-Counting CT Scans for Laryngeal Cancer Staging
This study tests a new type of CT scanner (photon-counting CT) to better visualize laryngeal cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors stage and plan treatment for throat cancer.
RozzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07597187Recruiting
Analyzing lung tissue samples to improve chronic lung disease diagnosis
This study uses a new imaging technology called LIBS to examine lung tissue samples that were already removed as part of your regular care. The goal is to see if this method can help doctors better understand and diagnose chronic lung diseases like interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, or emphysema.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT07599462Recruiting
Better Communication for People Who Use Cigarettes and E-Cigarettes
This study tests new ways to talk with people about quitting or reducing cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Researchers want to understand what communication approaches work best for people using both products.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07601724Recruiting
How fluid buildup affects sleep apnea in heart failure
This study looks at how excess fluid in the body affects sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) in people hospitalized with heart failure. Researchers will measure sleep apnea before and after treatment to reduce the fluid, which may help doctors better manage both conditions together.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT07595926Recruiting
Proper Height Measurement in Ventilator Patients with Lung Injury
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07596121RecruitingPhase 2
Serplulimab for Advanced Lung Cancer in Older Adults
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called serplulimab in patients aged 65 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The drug works by helping your immune system fight cancer cells that have a specific marker called PD-L1.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 65 years+ - NCT07602192Recruiting
Chest Imaging and Blood Tests to Distinguish Asthma From COPD
This study uses chest CT scans and blood tests to better tell asthma and COPD apart and predict which treatments will work best for you. The goal is to help doctors diagnose and treat these lung conditions more accurately.
Seoul, Dongjak-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07597031Recruiting
Digital Lifestyle Platform for People Leaving Hospital Rehab
This study tests whether a smartphone or tablet app can help people stay healthy and active after leaving rehabilitation. The app guides you through daily activities and healthy habits to support your recovery at home.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07599969Recruiting
Understanding bronchiectasis subtypes for better treatment
This study helps doctors identify different types of bronchiectasis (a lung disease where airways are permanently widened and damaged) to better understand how the disease develops and progresses. By following patients over time and collecting medical information, researchers hope to create a system that predicts which patients will worsen and need different treatments.
