Yoga breathing plus lung MRI measurements for post-COVID symptoms
This study uses breathing exercises from yoga and MRI (a scan of the body) measurements to see how well yoga breathing can improve ongoing breathing symptoms after COVID-19. It also compares results in a few other specific groups and healthy volunteers.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–50 - NCT07362537Recruiting
Feeding while on stomach for severe lung failure
This study tests if giving nutrition through a feeding tube is safe and effective for patients with severe lung failure who need to lie on their stomach to help breathing. It may help doctors understand how to best feed patients during this treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06636955Recruiting
Bronchiolitis viruses after nirsevimab in infants
This study looks at how well the new nirsevimab vaccine works against bronchiolitis in babies. If your infant has their first bout of bronchiolitis and gets a nose swab, they may be able to help researchers understand how the virus spreads and how to better protect other babies.
RouenAges birth–1 year - NCT06631872Recruiting
Surgery school prehabilitation via telehealth for lung or abdominal cancer
This trial tests a telehealth program to help you get ready (prehab) before lung or major abdominal cancer surgery. It aims to improve your recovery and might be easier than attending in person.

RGL-270 vaccine plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new cancer vaccine (RGL-270) combined with immunotherapy drugs for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to recognize and fight your specific cancer.
Guangzhou, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18 years+ - NCT06627686Recruiting
Predicting successful breathing tube removal in brain injury patients
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
