Comparing radiation plus targeted therapy vs standard chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two treatments for advanced head and neck cancer in patients who cannot take the drug cisplatin. One group gets radiation plus a targeted drug called cetuximab, the other gets radiation plus standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for people who are not candidates for cisplatin.

Single dose radiation for early-stage or limited lung tumors
This trial tests how a single, high-dose radiation treatment (called SBRT) affects quality of life and outcomes for people with certain lung tumors. It's for adults with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer or a lung tumor that has spread from another cancer, as long as the tumor is small and in the outer part of the lung.

Best time for treatment in serious pulmonary embolism
This trial looks at when it's best to give treatment to restore blood flow in people with a serious type of pulmonary embolism. It aims to find the optimal time for this procedure to improve outcomes.
Milan, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07443891Recruiting
Brain changes from vibration in laryngeal dystonia
This study uses a gentle vibrating device placed on the skin to see how it affects brain activity in people with laryngeal dystonia (a voice disorder). The goal is to learn more about how the brain controls voice and maybe find new ways to help.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT07435155Recruiting
Voice and breathing test for speech problems after brain injury
This study uses voice recordings and breathing tests to better understand speech problems (dysarthria) that can happen after a brain injury. It may help improve how these problems are diagnosed and treated.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07435714Recruiting
Helping patients choose surgery for chronic nasal swelling
This trial is testing a tool called a patient decision aid to help people with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis (long-term nasal swelling) make better choices about their surgery. You will be asked to use the aid and share your thoughts.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07437846Recruiting
How lung pressure settings affect breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial looks at how different breathing support settings (called PEEP) affect how hard your lungs have to work when you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the best setting to make breathing easier for you.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT07437391Recruiting
L-carnitine for preterm babies with breathing problems
This trial tests whether giving L-carnitine, a nutrient that helps cells make energy, to premature newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can improve their health. It may help their bodies cope better in the NICU.
Muzaffargarh, Punjab ProvinceAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT07441226RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for advanced COPD treatment
This trial tests whether adding umbilical cord stem cells to standard triple therapy can help people with Group E COPD. It aims to see if this approach improves lung function and quality of life.
Jakarta, Jakarta Special Capital RegionAges 40–75 - NCT07443020RecruitingPhase 1
Fast immune cells for fluid build-up from cancer
This trial tests a treatment using your own immune cells (T cells) to fight cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung and is causing fluid buildup. It may help if other standard treatments have stopped working.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–79 - NCT07442669Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for surfactant decision in premature babies
This trial uses a lung ultrasound score, a type of ultrasound, to decide when to give surfactant (a medicine that helps lungs work) to premature babies born between 27 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to reduce the need for more breathing support and avoid side effects.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 6 months–8 months - NCT07444372Recruiting
Starting CPAP therapy after atrial fibrillation ablation
This study tests whether starting CPAP therapy soon after a heart procedure called catheter ablation helps people with sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) recover better and stay in normal rhythm. CPAP is a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07442656Recruiting
Frailty and outcomes in older adults with pneumonia
This study looks at how frailty (overall weakness and decline) affects recovery in older adults who come to the emergency room with pneumonia. The goal is to understand what outcomes patients can expect based on their frailty level.
