COPD patients admitted to ICU after a flare, for registry
This observational study collects information on people with COPD (chronic lung disease) who have a severe flare requiring ICU care. It does not test a new drug, but the data may help doctors better understand severe COPD episodes and ICU outcomes.
Le ChesnayAges 40 years+ - NCT05735444Recruiting
CPAP registry for sleep apnea in people with high blood pressure
This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05736029Recruiting
Using blood and tumor data to predict cancer treatment response
This study looks at “multiomics” information (many types of biological data, like blood and lab markers) to predict how well cancer treatments may work for you. It may help doctors choose better treatments in the future based on what your body is doing during therapy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05354596Recruiting
SBRT radiation trial for central lung tumors
This trial studies a focused, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT for lung tumors that are hard to operate on, including very central tumors near major airways or organs. It may help people control tumor growth while limiting radiation exposure to nearby critical structures.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT05733000RecruitingPhase 2
CPI-613 plus hydroxychloroquine with chemo for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a drug called CPI-613 (devimistat) combined with hydroxychloroquine along with either 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine chemo. It’s for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments, aiming to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01763125Recruiting
Tumor bank trial for storing your blood sample
This study sets up a “tumor bank,” which means storing and later using your blood sample for future cancer research (or inflammatory disease research). You may be able to join if you currently have exactly one diagnosis—either a cancer or an inflammation condition.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT05286957RecruitingPhase 2
MRD-guided immunotherapy plus chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding a cancer-fighting immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of lung cancer coming back. It uses “MRD” (measurable remaining disease) to help decide who may benefit the most after resection.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT05774093Recruiting
Study how COVID immunity affects reinfection risk
This study looks at how well COVID-19 protection (immune barrier) holds up over time and how likely people are to get reinfected. It may help researchers understand who is more at risk after prior infection and why.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05778253Recruiting
Blood and AI pathology to guide treatment in resectable lung cancer
This study checks whether special blood testing plus computer-based review of tumor slides can help plan care for lung squamous cell cancer that can be removed by surgery. It looks at patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who meet specific stage and health criteria.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT03791086Recruiting
BRIDGE study using health records and genetics for bronchiectasis
This study looks at how bronchiectasis (ongoing lung damage with mucus and infections) may happen by using your medical records and genetic information. It may help researchers find better ways to understand different bronchiectasis types and guide future treatments.
DundeeAges 18 years+ - NCT01789229Recruiting
Tumor and inflammation sample bank for one specific condition
This study builds a secure “tumor sample bank” using tissue collected from people who currently have one diagnosed condition, either cancer (malignant disease) or an ongoing inflammatory condition. Your samples could help researchers study your disease and develop better treatments in the future.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03826797Recruiting
Testing breathing pressure signals in serious lung breathing failure
This study looks at how pressure readings from a breathing tube compare with whether non-invasive breathing support fails in people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It may help improve how clinicians spot who will need stronger breathing treatment sooner.
ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05193136Recruiting
Testing sleep and exercise effects on strength and thinking in lung disease
This trial studies whether improving sleep habits can help people with lung conditions like COPD or IPF maintain muscle strength and thinking (cognitive function). It may help by addressing sleep quality and related health factors, but eligibility depends on your current diagnoses and treatments.
Jōyō, KyotoAges 20 years+ - NCT03052283Recruiting
Abdominal symptom score test for people with cystic fibrosis
This trial helps create and check a patient-friendly questionnaire that measures abdominal (belly) involvement in cystic fibrosis. It may help your care team better track symptoms over time.
Brandenburg an der HavelAges Any age - NCT05797493Recruiting
Test blood and immune markers in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
This study looks at immune-related blood/tissue markers to understand disease activity in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after standard upfront treatment. If your cancer fits the pattern they’re studying, it may help researchers improve how future treatments are matched to patients.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05800223RecruitingPhase 3
Armatinib with or without brain radiation for EGFR lung cancer
This study tests whether armatinib alone or combined with focused brain radiation (SRT) can control brain metastases from EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for people with few, mostly low-symptom brain spots.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05800340RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for certain rare lung cancer mutations
This Phase 2 study tests an immunotherapy treatment given before surgery for people with stage IIB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific rare “driver” gene changes. The goal is to shrink the cancer and improve outcomes by treating it earlier with the immune system.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05259904RecruitingPhase 2

Looking back at EGFR-targeted pills for lung cancer
This study looks back at how people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with EGFR-targeted medicines (gefitinib, erlotinib, and osimertinib). It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what side effects to expect.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT05811780Recruiting
