Personalized drug testing for cystic fibrosis using small trials
This trial tests how well cystic fibrosis (CF) medicine works for you using an “n-of-1” approach, meaning you try treatments in a structured, repeated way to see what helps you most. It may help your care team choose the best option for your specific CF genetics and health status.

Testing a personalized add-on treatment after stage III lung cancer
This phase 3 trial tests whether tailoring the next (add-on) treatments can improve outcomes after standard chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III, unresectable (not operable) non-small cell lung cancer. It specifically looks at giving durvalumab plus an additional drug (tremelimumab) and possibly other consolidation chemotherapy based on a personalized plan.

Help build and study a quality-of-life tool after COVID-19
This study will collect information from adults who had COVID-19 (confirmed by a test or diagnosis) to develop and improve a questionnaire about life after infection. Your answers may help researchers better track symptoms and quality of life over time.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT04591002RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib after lung cancer surgery to slow new lung spots
This trial studies osimertinib, a targeted medicine, after surgery to help stop lung cancer from growing or spreading. It’s for people with an early lung cancer that has EGFR mutations and leftover “ground-glass” lung spots in another area.
Seoul, KangnamguAges 30–75 - NCT04595422Recruiting
Train quitline staff to reach smokers about lung screening
This trial tests an educational approach delivered through tobacco quitlines to encourage eligible smokers to learn about lung cancer screening. It may help people who have a heavy smoking history get the right information and next steps.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04603196Recruiting
Study sleep apnea in adults with multiple sclerosis
This study looks at how often sleep apnea happens in people who have multiple sclerosis, and how it affects daily life and health. You may be invited to participate if you’re an adult with a confirmed multiple sclerosis diagnosis and can consent to the study.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04602481Recruiting
Living with primary ciliary dyskinesia study
This study invites people who have been told they may have, or who have confirmed, primary ciliary dyskinesia. It aims to better understand living with PCD and what helps people day to day.
BernAges Any age - NCT04604522Recruiting
Study airway brushing in people with bronchiolitis obliterans
This study collects tiny airway samples during a planned bronchoscopy to better understand bronchiolitis obliterans (a long-term lung complication after transplant). Your samples may help researchers learn how the disease starts and changes over time.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04606446RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative cancers after treatment
This Phase 2 study tests a new Pfizer medicine (PF-07248144) for certain advanced or metastatic breast, prostate, or lung cancers that have not responded to standard treatment or no standard options exist. You may qualify if you have a specific tumor type and a limited number of prior cancer treatments, and if your body functions (blood, liver, kidneys) and heart rhythm meet safety limits.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04605146Recruiting
Telemonitoring to manage side effects from immunotherapy
This trial tests whether using home digital monitoring (telemonitoring) can help people with melanoma, lung, or kidney (renal) cancer manage side effects while on immunotherapy. It may help catch side effects earlier and support you during treatment with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivolumab alone.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04606693Recruiting
Screening for sleep apnea before heart rhythm ablation
This study looks at whether checking for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) and treating it helps people prepare for atrial fibrillation ablation. It may help by improving outcomes for patients with atrial fibrillation who keep having episodes despite medication.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT04606849Recruiting
Pilot ePNa tool for pneumonia decisions in urgent care
This trial tests and rolls out an electronic support tool (ePNa) to help urgent care clinicians decide how to evaluate and manage pneumonia. It may help by standardizing decision-making so patients get more consistent care.
American Fork, UtahAges 12 years+ - NCT04606732Recruiting
Tracking heart risk changes after COVID-19 hospitalization
This study looks at how COVID-19 affects heart health over time in people who were hospitalized. Your results may help doctors predict prognosis and understand who is at higher heart risk after recovery.
