This study tests whether a structured rehabilitation program can help people recover from myocarditis (heart inflammation) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors, a common cancer immunotherapy. The trial will enroll 60 adults whose heart condition has stabilized, and will measure…

This study tests whether using a special scan (VQDI) to pick the lung area for valve placement works better than the usual CT-based method. About 285 people with severe emphysema will be randomly assigned to one of two strategies. The goal is to see which approach leads to better…

This study looks at two types of drugs—JAK inhibitors and calcineurin inhibitors—as first treatments for lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) caused by antisynthetase syndrome. Researchers want to see which drug better improves lung function and helps people live longer over…

This early-stage trial tests whether a Chinese herbal ointment (Yiwei Jiaohuang) can help stop stomach bleeding in people taking blood thinners. About 60 adults will take the ointment daily for 2 weeks, and doctors will check their stool for hidden blood at 3 days, 1 week, and 2 …

This study compares a newer biopsy method (EBUS-guided cryobiopsy) with standard methods for diagnosing stage I or II pulmonary sarcoidosis. About 469 adults with suspected sarcoidosis will be randomly assigned to one of the two approaches. The goal is to see which method finds g…

This study tests a newer biopsy method (EBUS-TBMC) against a standard one (EBUS-TBNA) for diagnosing tuberculosis in the lymph nodes of the chest. About 108 adults with suspected TB will have both procedures during the same visit. The goal is to see which method finds TB more acc…

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for diagnosing lymphoma in the chest: cryobiopsy (freezing tissue) and needle aspiration. About 470 adults with suspected new or returning lymphoma will be randomly assigned to one procedure. The goal is to see which method pr…

This study tests if starting with a less invasive ultrasound-guided needle biopsy can diagnose the cause of fluid around the lungs as effectively as going straight to a more invasive camera-guided biopsy. About 420 adults with unexplained fluid buildup will be randomly assigned t…

This study tests whether augmented reality (AR) glasses can guide people through spirometry, a breathing test used to diagnose COPD. The glasses provide real-time instructions, potentially making the test easier and more accurate without a specialist. The trial involves 710 adult…

This study looks at whether frailty—a measure of overall health and weakness—can help predict dangerous drops in oxygen levels during a procedure called ERCP in people aged 65 and older. Researchers will first review past records of 313 patients, then test their predictions on 38…
