Low-dose radiation followed by immunotherapy for extensive small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation to the chest, immunotherapy (adebrelimab), and chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better than standard treatments and potentially improve outcomes.
Jiangmen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07582549RecruitingPhase 3
Treatment for children's persistent cough
This Finnish study tests whether two common medicines (a steroid inhaler and an antibiotic) can help children whose cough has lasted more than 4 weeks without an obvious cause. Researchers want to see if these treatments work better than doing nothing.
TampereAges 1–6 - NCT07578298RecruitingPhase 4
RSV protection for aboriginal infants
This study tests an RSV antibody shot that helps protect babies from severe RSV. It aims to see how well this preventive shot works in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants when given around 6-9 months of age.
Darwin, Northern TerritoryAges 6 months–9 months - NCT07584239Recruiting
Physical therapy and relaxation before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether physical therapy exercises and relaxation techniques done before surgery can help adults with lung cancer feel stronger, recover better, and have better surgical outcomes. You'll work with specialists to prepare your body and mind for the operation.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07581938Recruiting
Early Dental Screening for Sleep Problems in Kids
This study uses a smartphone app and a wearable device to check for early signs of sleep-disordered breathing—a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep—in children ages 8–13. The goal is to catch dental and jaw problems that might lead to sleep issues before they become serious.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 8–13 - NCT07577960Enrolling by invitation
Lung Rehabilitation for Upper Arm Burn Recovery
This study tests whether specialized breathing exercises and chest therapy can improve lung function in people recovering from upper arm burns. It may help you breathe better and restore physical strength after a burn injury.
Istanbul, KartalAges 18–65 - NCT07583511RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combination for advanced lung cancer
This study tests whether a combination of three drugs—teniposide, cisplatin, and serplulimab—can effectively treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (a fast-growing type of lung cancer that has spread). Serplulimab is an immunotherapy drug designed to help your immune system fight cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07579364Enrolling by invitation
Voice Outcomes After Vocal Cord Surgery
This study follows people who have had surgery to improve one-sided vocal cord paralysis or atrophy—a condition where one vocal cord doesn't move properly or has shrunk. Researchers track how well your voice works and your quality of life over 2 years after surgery.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07579052Recruiting
Predicting When Severely Ill COPD Patients Can Stop Breathing Machines
This study tests a prediction tool called CLEAR to help doctors know when patients with severe COPD lung disease are ready to stop using breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU. The tool may help doctors make faster, safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
Asyut, Assuit EgyptAges 40 years+ - NCT07579221RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Navlimetostat and Pumitamig for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study tests a combination of two experimental drugs (navlimetostat and pumitamig) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer in patients whose tumors have a specific genetic change called MTAP loss. The drugs are designed to attack cancer cells in a new way and may help patients whose cancer has stopped responding to previous treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07577661RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Electrical and medication combination therapy for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation (via an Inspire device you already have or will get) with two medications can better treat obstructive sleep apnea. You'll help researchers understand if this combination works better than the device alone.
