New Heart Tests in Sleep Apnea
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07431021Recruiting
Kids' health and air pollution study in London
This study looks at how short-term air pollution affects children's breathing and health. It involves students from certain London schools taking part in PE lessons and simple health tests.
LondonAges 7–11 - NCT07427537Recruiting
Studying nerve damage from chemotherapy in colorectal and lung cancer patients
This study looks for small molecules in the blood that might predict nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapies. If you have colorectal or lung cancer and are starting a specific chemo plan, this trial could help researchers understand why some people get nerve problems and others don't.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07431567Recruiting
How low oxygen affects heart function in healthy adults
This study tests how your heart’s right ventricle handles low oxygen (like at high altitude) in healthy adults. You will be exposed to a low-oxygen environment for a short time to see how your heart responds.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT07432373Recruiting
Comparing clot-busting drugs for lung infections
This trial tests two combinations of medicines for people with infected fluid around the lung that isn't draining well through a chest tube. The goal is to see which combination works better to clear the infection and improve recovery.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT07431554Recruiting
Studying heart function in low oxygen after HAPE
This study looks at how the right side of the heart responds to low oxygen levels in people who have had high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in the past. It will help researchers better understand right heart function.
ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT07431060Recruiting
Modified LCH treatment with or without Luvometinib for children
This trial tests a new drug called Luvometinib added to a standard chemotherapy regimen for children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that affects multiple parts of the body. The goal is to see if the combination works better than the standard treatment alone.
ChengduAges birth–18 years - NCT07434908Recruiting
Study of HBP and lung fluid in ICU patients
This trial looks at a protein called HBP in the blood and how it relates to fluid in the lungs. You can join if you are over 18 and already have a special heart monitor called PiCCO in place.
ÖstersundAges 18 years+ - NCT07433283RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iron nanoparticle injection for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment for advanced solid tumors that uses tiny iron particles guided by carbon nanoparticles, injected directly into the tumor. It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working or aren't available, and you have a tumor that can be safely injected.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07430943Recruiting
Adding street racket to lung rehab
This trial tests if playing Street Racket (a simple sport similar to tennis) is possible and enjoyable for people already in pulmonary rehabilitation. You would play while wearing a portable oxygen backpack.
ZurichAges Any age - NCT07426458RecruitingPhase 4
Breathing and blood flow study for adults with asthma
This study looks at how asthma affects air flow and blood flow in your lungs. You may join if you use daily asthma control medicine and your breathing test shows room for improvement even after using a rescue inhaler.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT06220825Recruiting
Breathing support practices in critically ill children
This trial looks at how doctors manage breathing support for children in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for kids who need help breathing.
GroningenAges Up to 18 years - NCT06684119Recruiting
Testing best breathing tube pressure for children on a ventilator
This trial uses a special imaging tool (EIT) to find the best air pressure in the breathing tube for children on a ventilator. It aims to improve lung function in children with a lung condition called PARDS.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT06286163Recruiting
ATP and P2X3 in chronic cough patients
This study looks at how certain nerve receptors (called P2X3) and a molecule called ATP might be linked to inflammation in the airways of people with chronic cough. It compares chronic cough patients to healthy non-smokers to better understand the cause of cough and find new treatment targets.
LondonAges 30–70 - NCT06769360Recruiting
Pressure support breathing trial for ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to set the breathing machine's pressure support based on your muscle effort. It may help you breathe more comfortably and improve recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06791798Recruiting
Breathing treatments for patients on ventilators
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
CairoAges 35–55 - NCT06815185Recruiting
Counseling help for people with interstitial lung disease
This study tests a counseling program to help people with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring and make breathing harder) with rehabilitation and support. It may help you cope better and stay active.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06815198Recruiting
Ultrasound to measure air speed from lungs
This study uses a special ultrasound (pulsed echo Doppler) to measure how fast air moves out of your lungs during a breathing test. It aims to understand lung function better, which may help people with certain lung conditions.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT02241265Recruiting
Testing how lung breathing tests respond to bronchial treatment
This trial looks at how lung function test results change after bronchial thermoplasty in adults with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand who benefits from this procedure based on breathing test measures.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–99 - NCT04578171Recruiting
Mepolizumab for severe asthma flare-ups after treatment
This trial studies whether mepolizumab can reduce ongoing or returning asthma flare-ups in people with severe asthma. If you have severe asthma that still keeps flaring, this may help by targeting a specific inflammation pathway involved in some asthma cases.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–90 - NCT06251687Recruiting
Cryobiopsy for diagnosing progressive pulmonary fibrosis
This trial is testing a new, less invasive way to take a lung tissue sample (called transbronchial cryobiopsy) to help diagnose progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). It may help doctors find the cause of your lung scarring without needing a larger surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06349174Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for severe COPD
This study tests whether placing tiny valves in the airways can help people with severe COPD breathe easier. It is for people who still have trouble breathing despite quitting smoking and completing pulmonary rehab.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–85 - NCT06245954Recruiting
Better diagnosis through lung sampling training
This trial studies whether standardizing the training for a lung biopsy procedure helps doctors better diagnose interstitial lung disease. You might be eligible if you have a suspected ILD diagnosis and your lung function and other health markers are within certain limits.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06347536RecruitingPhase 3
Support pack after hospital stay for COPD flare-up
This study tests whether giving a 'rescue pack' with medications after leaving the hospital helps people with COPD avoid another flare-up. It is for patients recently discharged after a COPD worsening that required a hospital stay.
