Recruiting studies
- NCT06675045Recruiting
High flow oxygen therapy and breathing patterns
This study looks at how breathing changes in patients with low blood oxygen levels who are treated with high-flow oxygen through a mask. It aims to understand which patients might need a breathing tube.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06438302Recruiting
Nasal ventilation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05089695Recruiting
Compare noninvasive breathing supports for breathing failure
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06213168Recruiting
CPAP plus high-flow oxygen vs oxygen alone for breathing failure
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06066502RecruitingPhase 3
Precision ventilation for ARDS
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05675345Recruiting
Negative pressure breathing device for sudden low-oxygen breathing failure
This trial studies a continuous negative external pressure device (a “cuirass” that helps breathing) for people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It aims to see whether the device improves breathing and oxygen levels without needing immediate intubation.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05150483Recruiting
Study of a blood test in new severe breathing failure
This trial looks at how a test might help evaluate adults who come to the emergency room with a brand-new, sudden breathing problem that needs high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors identify what’s going on faster and guide care in the early hours.
Athens, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT04524585Recruiting
Tested a muscle-relaxing treatment for severe low-oxygen breathing
This study tests whether partially relaxing the breathing-related muscles can help people with severe low oxygen while they are on a breathing machine. It may improve how well the lungs work by changing the way the muscles affect breathing.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03758508Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support versus high-flow oxygen for pneumonia
This study compares two ways to help breathing in adults with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels: a noninvasive breathing machine versus high-flow oxygen. It aims to see which option helps patients breathe better and avoid getting worse.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05562505Recruiting
Using ECMO to help you breathe, sit up, and come off a ventilator
This trial tests whether a heart-lung machine called venovenous ECMO can help people with severe breathing failure get less sedated, get extubated (have the breathing tube removed), and start moving. It’s for certain adults who are on a ventilator for a short time and have specific oxygenation problems.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18–65 - NCT05947955RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for infection-related lung failure in adults
This Phase 2 trial tests Rhu-pGSN in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by an infection. If you qualify, the study may help determine whether the drug improves outcomes in this short-term, life-threatening lung condition.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07366541Recruiting
Predicting oxygen therapy failure using a monitoring device
This study tests a monitoring device to predict if a patient with low oxygen levels will need a breathing tube within 72 hours. It aims to help doctors decide earlier if a patient needs more intensive support.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06042621Enrolling by invitation
Improving communication in the ICU for patients, families, and staff
This study looks at how doctors, nurses, and other healthcare team members talk with patients and their families in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve understanding and support for everyone involved.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05990101Recruiting
Awake prone positioning for low oxygen in the ICU
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach (prone positioning) while awake can help you breathe better when you are in the ICU with low oxygen levels. It may reduce the need for a breathing tube.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT07086755RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vadadustat treatment for lung injury from infection
This trial tests a pill called vadadustat for people with a serious lung condition called ARDS, which makes it hard to breathe. The drug may reduce inflammation and improve oxygen levels, helping patients recover without needing a breathing tube.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07309783Recruiting
Lung imaging to guide breathing support in ARDS
This trial uses a special lung imaging technique (EIT) to guide ventilator settings for people with ARDS. It may help improve breathing support and reduce lung injury.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07363902Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation study for breathing support
This study tests a new device that uses mild electrical pulses to strengthen the muscles used for breathing in people who are on a ventilator. It aims to help them recover faster.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting acute hypoxemic respiratory failure studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute hypoxemic respiratory failure trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute hypoxemic respiratory failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
