Creating a Digital Lung Model Using AI and CT Scans
This study collects information from your chest CT scans and medical history to build an artificial intelligence model of how your lungs work. This 'digital twin' may help doctors better understand and predict lung health in the future.

This study uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after you finish treatment. It may help doctors know if cancer is still there and guide next steps.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07521254Recruiting
High-flow oxygen and breathing support for acute respiratory failure
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07522346Recruiting
Ventilator Pressure Levels During Surfactant Therapy in Preterm Infants
This study tests whether different pressure levels used during a minimally invasive surfactant procedure (MIST)—a way to deliver lung-coating medicine without a breathing tube—affect how well preterm infants' lungs inflate. Researchers hope to find the best pressure settings to help babies breathe more easily.
Saint Albans, VictoriaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07519512Recruiting
Early Switch to Assisted Breathing in ICU Patients
This study tests whether moving ICU patients from fully machine-controlled breathing to partially assisted breathing earlier helps them get off ventilators successfully. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the time patients need mechanical ventilation.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07518160RecruitingPhase 2
JS212 and JS111 for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations
This study tests a combination of two new drugs (JS212 and JS111) for advanced non-squamous lung cancer that has an EGFR gene mutation and has progressed despite previous EGFR-targeted therapy. The combination may help control the cancer better than standard treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07517692Enrolling by invitation
Improving shared decision-making for lung cancer screening
This study tests a new way to help patients and doctors discuss lung cancer screening together using text messages and shared decision-making tools. It may help you understand screening options better and make choices that fit your values.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 50–77 - NCT07517497Recruiting
Lung Vibration Device for Seniors With Hip Fracture and Breathing Problems
This study tests a special vibration device on the chest to help older adults who have both a hip fracture and acute breathing failure recover better. The device uses gentle vibrations to help clear the lungs and improve breathing.
AstanaAges 60–85 - NCT07523659Recruiting
How Weather and Air Quality Affect Daily Activity
This study looks at how climate, weather, and air pollution influence how much people move and exercise. Researchers will track your activity levels across seasons in either Shenzhen or Shenyang to understand these connections.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–55 - NCT07521956Recruiting
Mindfulness training for recreational runners
This study tests whether a mindfulness program can help recreational runners improve their performance, breathing, and heart rate patterns. If you're a regular runner, this trial explores whether mental training alongside your running could enhance your physical abilities.
Chilliwack, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07518862Recruiting
Using heart rate to guide oxygen therapy settings
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (heart rate monitoring) to help doctors adjust the flow of oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula. It may help improve how well this breathing support works for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07523919Recruiting
How fitness and breathing affect colorectal cancer recovery
This study looks at how your physical fitness and lung function may affect how well you do after colorectal cancer treatment. Researchers will test your strength, movement, and breathing to understand what helps people recover better long-term.
Merkez, Gümüşhane ProvinceAges 18–80 - NCT07518446Recruiting
Health Screening for Adults Starting Psychiatric Care
This study checks the physical health of adults beginning treatment for serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia or depression at two Danish clinics. It aims to catch health problems early that people with these conditions often experience.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07516249Recruiting
Cartoons and Stories to Help Kids Feel Better During Breathing Treatments
This study tests whether watching cartoons and hearing interactive stories can help children aged 6–9 feel less scared and more comfortable while using a nebulizer (a machine that turns medicine into a mist to breathe in). The goal is to see if distraction and engaging storytelling make the treatment easier for kids.
MersinAges 6–9 - NCT07518472Recruiting
Box Breathing and Lung Exercises for COPD Shortness of Breath
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique called box breathing, combined with short-term breathing exercises, can help reduce shortness of breath and improve daily functioning in people with mild COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
IslamabadAges 40–65 - NCT07520656Recruiting
Heart Valve Surgery and Sleep Breathing Problems
This study looks at whether fixing heart valve problems with minimally invasive procedures (TAVI or MTEER) can improve sleep-related breathing issues. Researchers will monitor your sleep patterns before and after your scheduled heart valve procedure.
Athens, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07524543Recruiting
Severe asthma registry study in Hong Kong
This study collects health information from adults with severe asthma to better understand the condition and improve treatment. Your participation involves sharing medical data to help researchers learn more about what works best for severe asthma.
Hong KongAges 18–120 - NCT07524517Recruiting
Face Mask Shapes for Newborn Breathing Support
This study compares two different face mask shapes used to help newborns breathe before a breathing tube is placed. Researchers want to see which mask shape works better and is easier for doctors to use.
Dublin, LeinsterAges Any age - NCT07522450Recruiting
Sleep monitoring in critically ill patients on breathing support
This study measures sleep quality in patients hospitalized in intensive care who need help breathing. Researchers will use EEG (brain wave monitoring) to see if tracking sleep helps improve patient care and outcomes.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT07522008Recruiting
Testing a blood-cleaning add-on for dialysis symptom relief
This trial tests whether adding a special blood-filtering device (hemoadsorption) to your regular dialysis treatment can reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by kidney failure, like fatigue or itching. Researchers will track how you feel over time compared to standard dialysis alone.

Study of adebelimumab and apatinib for extensive stage small cell lung cancer maintenance
This trial tests whether adding two targeted therapies (adebelimumab, an immunotherapy, and apatinib, a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) after initial chemotherapy can help keep extensive stage small cell lung cancer under control. It is for people who have not yet had systemic treatment for their cancer and are in good enough health to try this maintenance approach.
