This trial studies how to quickly and safely rule out blood clots in the lungs of cancer patients who come to the emergency room. It aims to help doctors make faster decisions and avoid unnecessary treatments for people with cancer.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07500246Recruiting
Better diagnosis and treatment for childhood asthma
This study aims to improve how we diagnose and treat asthma in children. It tests whether a personalized approach can help children whose asthma is not well controlled with current inhaler treatments.
LuxembourgAges 5–16 - NCT07499661Recruiting
Study of blood clots in the lungs with heart failure
This study looks at whether a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) is a hidden cause in patients who are hospitalized for acute heart failure. It involves additional imaging tests to find a clot if present, which could change your treatment.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT07505797Recruiting
Ultrasound imaging study for suspicious breast lesions
This study is testing a new ultrasound device (ATUSA) to see how well it can image breast lesions that have been classified as suspicious (BI-RADS 4 or 5). If you have a recent finding that needs further evaluation, this research might help improve detection methods.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–94 - NCT07502300RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (BL-B01D1 plus immunotherapy) as a first treatment for people with advanced small cell lung cancer. It may be an option if you haven't had treatment yet and are healthy enough for chemotherapy.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07499674RecruitingPhase 3
A lung cancer surgery study to test a special imaging dye
This trial tests a dye called abenacianine (VGT-309) that may help surgeons see cancer more clearly during lung surgery. It looks at whether the dye is safe and effective for identifying cancer in people having surgery to remove a lung lesion or mass.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07503808RecruitingPhase 1
IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07504731Recruiting
Effect of body position and breathing support on lung function
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07505602Recruiting
Air purifiers for better breathing in COPD
This study tests whether using an air purifier at home can improve breathing and overall respiratory health in people with COPD. If you live in Shanghai and have COPD, this trial may help show if cleaner air makes a difference.
ShanghaiAges 50–80 - NCT07500376Recruiting
Nutrition and Muscle Health in Lung Cancer Surgery
This study looks at how nutrition and muscle health before lung cancer surgery can affect recovery. It tests whether checking these factors can help predict and improve outcomes after surgery.
Samsun, SamsunAges 18 years+ - NCT07504926Recruiting
CPAP for large airway collapse study
This trial tests if CPAP, a machine that helps keep your airways open while you sleep, can improve breathing and reduce flare-ups in people with large airway collapse. You may be eligible if you have this condition and have needed antibiotics or steroids in the past year.
