Ubamatamab with or without REGN7075 for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy (ubamatamab) alone or with another drug (REGN7075) for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after standard treatment. It aims to see if targeting MUC16, a substance found on some cancer cells, can help control the cancer.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT00001465Recruiting
Study of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) disease process
This study looks at the natural history and disease process of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that mostly affects women. It may help understand how LAM progresses and how it affects daily life, and may include exercise testing and other evaluations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 16–100 - NCT07781501Recruiting
Study of long-term effects of covid-19
This study looks at the long-term effects of COVID-19, sometimes called Long COVID. By studying saliva and health info, researchers hope to understand why some people have lasting symptoms.

Fatigue study using digital outcomes in multiple sclerosis and long COVID
This study is investigating fatigue using digital outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis, long COVID, and healthy volunteers. Participants must own a smartphone, be fluent in German or English, and be willing to provide informed consent. Exclusion criteria include having taken certain medications recently, being pregnant or lactating, or having additional health conditions that could affect fatigue or the autonomic nervous system.
