Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AVA6103 for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug may help by targeting a protein on cancer cells and interfering with their ability to multiply.

How taladegib works in healthy volunteers
This trial is for healthy volunteers to see how the study drug taladegib (ENV-101) interacts with other medicines in the body. It will help researchers understand how the drug is absorbed and processed, which is important for future studies in patients.
Brisbane, QueenslandAges 26–65 - NCT06051032Recruiting
Comparing balloon vs. suction for clotted dialysis fistulas
This study compares two ways to clear a sudden clot in a dialysis fistula (AVF). It uses either a balloon (to push the clot out) or a suction device (to pull the clot out) to restore blood flow.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT05331170RecruitingPhase 2
Re-training the nose to change how allergies behave
This Phase 2 study tests a “viral” treatment meant to reprogram the lining of your nose to reduce allergy-like immune responses. It is testing whether this approach is safe and can help people with cat allergy (with or without asthma) or compare against healthy people.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT07458425Recruiting
Lung cancer screening study using AI
This study tests how well an AI tool can predict lung cancer risk, based on your health information. It looks at how patients feel about this approach to screening, with the goal of making screening more personal and effective.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50–80 - NCT07457463Recruiting
Pulmonary fibrosis self-management program
This study tests a learning and self-management program for people with pulmonary fibrosis. It helps you better understand and manage your lung condition.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07453966Recruiting
Lung vibration therapy for people on breathing machines with lung infection
This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07457762Recruiting
Reminder app for pulmonary hypertension inhaler
This study tests if a smartphone app can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) stick to their inhaled iloprost treatment. It is for adults already on this treatment at a specific clinic in Brazil.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07462221Recruiting
Telenursing for better oral health in COPD
This study tests whether nurse-led video calls can help people with COPD improve their oral health. If you have COPD and can use a smartphone, this trial may help you take better care of your teeth and gums from home.
ÇanakkaleAges 40 years+ - NCT07455396RecruitingPhase 2
Dexamethasone vs methylprednisolone for children with severe asthma
This trial compares two steroids, dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, to see which works better for children in the intensive care unit with severe asthma. The goal is to find the best treatment with fewer side effects.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 3–17 - NCT07460440Recruiting
Screening for lung cancer with a blood test
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for signs of lung cancer in your blood platelets. If you have a lung nodule that needs further testing or have been diagnosed with lung cancer, this test might help doctors find cancer earlier.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 21 years+ - NCT07460999Recruiting
Singing training after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if singing training twice a week can help with ongoing symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue 6 to 18 months after surgery for early-stage lung cancer.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07456111RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two sedatives for colonoscopy with polyp removal
This trial compares two sedative medications, remimazolam and propofol, to see which works better and is safer for people having a colonoscopy to remove polyps. It could help choose a sedation option with fewer side effects.
ZagrebAges 18–60 - NCT07461779RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen to the healthy lung during lung surgery
This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07455214Recruiting
Heart rate variability and breathing trial success in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
New Taipei CityAges 18–85 - NCT07460154Recruiting
Structured review to improve COPD management
This trial tests a structured review process to help people with COPD who have needed multiple steroid pills in the past year. It aims to improve care and prevent future harm from the condition.
North ShieldsAges 35 years+ - NCT07459621Recruiting
App for smokers unsure about quitting
This study tests a smartphone app for people who smoke at least half a pack a day and are not sure they want to quit. The app helps them explore their feelings about smoking in a low-pressure way.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06374589Recruiting
Closing the loop on oxygen use during high flow therapy
This trial tests a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06630611RecruitingPhase 2
A new immune cell therapy for melanoma, lung, and cervical cancer
This trial tests a new way to boost your immune cells after they are collected from your tumor and grown in a lab. Instead of high-dose IL-2, you would get a modified version called ANV419, which may have fewer side effects.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05654675Recruiting
Scan method study for measuring tumor sugar use on PET
This study checks whether a specific analysis method (called FUR) can better measure how much “sugar” from PET scans is used by tumors. It uses regular PET/CT scans you may already get as part of standard care, and compares how the measurements work.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06655428Recruiting
A new treatment for severe emphysema using heat and liquid
This trial tests a procedure called Endobronchial Thermal Liquid Ablation (ETLA) that uses heated liquid to treat severe emphysema. It is for people with COPD who have very low lung function and shortness of breath, and who have not been able to get relief from other treatments.
Vienna, AustriaAges 40 years+ - NCT06132048Recruiting
Testing a smartphone app for cystic fibrosis
This study tests a smartphone app called MuCopilot that helps you track your cystic fibrosis symptoms at home. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and can give accurate information about your condition.
