Inhaled treatment before lung cancer surgery to prevent lung complications
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving an inhaled medication before lung cancer surgery helps prevent breathing problems after the operation. It is for people whose lung function is lower than normal, which puts them at higher risk for complications after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove part of your lung
- You have not been using a long-term inhaled bronchodilator (a type of breathing medicine)
- Your lung function test (FEV1) is less than 80% of normal, meaning you have a higher risk of lung problems after surgery

This study tests whether giving gentle breathing support before and during major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications after the operation. It is for adults at medium to high risk for breathing problems after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to deliver oxygen during chest surgery using a special breathing tube. Researchers believe this method may help your lungs recover better after surgery and reduce breathing complications.
This trial tests whether doing exercise training before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. It is for people with low fitness levels who live with another adult at home.
This early-stage trial tests a new inhaled medication (AER101) given before surgery for newly diagnosed lung cancer. The goal is to see if it helps shrink tumors or make surgery safer and more effective.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
This trial tests whether breathing in steroid medicine before and during radiation can lower how often and how badly “radiation lung inflammation” (radiation pneumonitis) happens in people with lung cancer. If you qualify, it may help protect your lungs while you receive radiation with chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
