AI Study for Lung Cancer Type and Genetics via PET/CT
This study uses an AI system that looks at your PET/CT scan images to figure out the exact type and genetic makeup of your non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve how doctors classify and treat your cancer without needing extra invasive tests.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07466420Recruiting
Quercetin for fibrotic lung disease
This trial tests whether taking quercetin, a natural supplement, can help people with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (a group of conditions that cause scarring in the lungs). If you have been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or another fibrotic ILD and are on standard treatments, you may be able to join.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT07466888Recruiting
Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.
Gyeonggi-do, Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT06791668Recruiting
Magnesium treatment for severe preeclampsia
This study looks at different ways to give magnesium sulphate to women with severe preeclampsia to find the best treatment plan.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06790875Recruiting
Comparing two ventilator settings for lung health in ARDS
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06790797Recruiting
Predicting immunotherapy success in chest cancers
This study is for people with lung or esophageal cancer who will receive immunotherapy (drugs that help your immune system fight cancer). The researchers want to find markers in your blood and tumor that can predict how well the treatment will work.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06792214RecruitingPhase 4
Testing if antivirals prevent long-term heart problems after COVID-19
This study tests whether two antiviral medications, Paxlovid and Veklury (remdesivir), can reduce the risk of long-term heart and blood vessel problems after a COVID-19 infection. It is for adults recently hospitalized with COVID-19 who are not currently on oxygen therapy.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04324164Recruiting
Testing outcomes with EGFR pills for uncommon lung cancer mutations
This study looks at how well an EGFR-targeted pill (called an EGFR-TKI) works for people with advanced lung cancer that has an uncommon EGFR mutation. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and improve survival outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05504278RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IBI351 with chemotherapy for KRAS G12C lung cancer
This Phase 1 study tests whether IBI351, a targeted medicine, can be safely given with standard chemotherapy to treat advanced lung cancer that has a KRAS G12C mutation. It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs of effectiveness, and may offer a new option if your cancer matches these features.
Jilin City, ChangchunAges 18–75 - NCT05898529Recruiting
Testing COVID status in children having surgery
