Guiding breathing help with lung imaging vs. pressure in ARDS
This trial compares two ways to set the breathing machine for people with ARDS (a serious lung injury). One method uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to see how the lungs are working, while the other uses pressure measurements. The goal is to find the best way to adjust ventilator support to help you breathe more easily.

Study of a new antibiotic for hospital pneumonia from resistant bacteria
This trial tests a drug called Polymyxin E2 Methanesulfonate for a serious lung infection that patients can get in the hospital, caused by bacteria that don't respond to common antibiotics. It may be an option for people on ventilators or recently hospitalized with pneumonia that standard drugs can't treat.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06090266RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of OR502 alone and with other cancer treatments
This trial tests an experimental drug called OR502, which targets a protein on immune cells, to see if it can help fight advanced solid tumors. It is given alone or with other anti-cancer drugs, and the study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07509333Recruiting
Personalized treatment planning for older adults with lung cancer
This study helps doctors create a personalized treatment plan for older adults with lung cancer based on a comprehensive review of their health. It aims to choose the best treatment to improve quality of life and outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 60–90 - NCT07511998Enrolling by invitation
Comparing endotracheal tube sizes to reduce sore throat after surgery
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
Daegu, DaeguAges 20–70 - NCT07508904Recruiting
Exercise effects in children with cystic fibrosis
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can improve muscle strength, breathing, and fitness in children with cystic fibrosis who are stable and able to exercise.
LahoreAges 6–18 - NCT07510321Recruiting
A study of FL-261 imaging for cancer diagnosis
This trial tests a new imaging agent called FL-261 to help doctors see and stage cancers more clearly. If you have a known or suspected cancer like lung, colon, or head and neck cancer, this study may improve how your cancer is evaluated.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07514364RecruitingPhase 4
Rifabutin for Mycobacterium abscessus lung infection
This study tests whether an antibiotic called rifabutin works better for treating a difficult lung infection (Mycobacterium abscessus) that resists a common antibiotic. You may qualify if you've been diagnosed with this infection and your lab tests show it can resist clarithromycin.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07509606Recruiting
Whole body vibration for healthy adults and COPD patients
This study tests if a vibrating platform can help people with COPD and healthy adults. You stand on a machine that gently vibrates to improve muscle function and breathing.
TainanAges 18 years+ - NCT07510724Recruiting
Real-world study of Tislelizumab for lung cancer
This trial collects information on how well the immunotherapy drug Tislelizumab works for different types of lung cancer. It is meant for people whose doctor already decided to prescribe this drug as part of their care.
Sankt Pölten, Lower AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07508280Recruiting
Energy-saving vs circuit training for asthma patients
This trial compares two exercise programs to see which helps people with asthma more. You may join if your asthma is mild to moderate and you do not have other serious conditions.
Jhang, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–50 - NCT07507682Recruiting
Can astaxanthin help manage asthma in polluted areas?
This trial tests if a daily supplement called astaxanthin can help people with mild-to-moderate asthma, especially in areas with more air pollution. You would take capsules and track your breathing at home.
London, BarnetAges 18 years+ - NCT07513051Recruiting
Breathing Support and Diaphragm Movement in Premature Newborns
This study watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
