Recruiting studies
- NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07070362Recruiting
Digital early warning system for lung injury after liver surgery
This trial tests a digital early warning system to detect acute lung injury after liver surgery. It may help doctors catch breathing problems early so they can treat them faster.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT06513949RecruitingPhase 2
Testing IC14 for ARDS on a ventilator
This trial tests a new treatment called IC14 for people in the hospital on a breathing machine for ARDS (a severe lung injury). The study aims to see if IC14, which blocks a protein involved in inflammation, can help the lungs heal faster.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04296071Recruiting
Testing blood markers after heart surgery in infants
This trial studies patterns in immune cells (neutrophils) in very young children who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce lung injury after surgery.

Pirfenidone to prevent lung injury after breast radiation
This trial tests whether pirfenidone, a medication, can prevent acute lung injury caused by radiation therapy in people with breast cancer. You may be randomly assigned to pirfenidone or a placebo (inactive pill) to see which better protects the lungs during and after radiation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05767671Recruiting
Breathing tube patients in ICU tested for lung inflammation treatment
This trial studies whether changing immune cells in the lungs (using a procedure called MiniBAL) can improve outcomes in adults who are critically ill and on a breathing tube. It may help doctors better manage acute lung injury by targeting inflammation early in the ICU stay.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT06542107Recruiting
Weaning from a breathing machine after brain injury
This study looks at the best way to help people with a recent brain injury come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to improve the weaning process and reduce time on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07595926Recruiting
Proper Height Measurement in Ventilator Patients with Lung Injury
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06750536Recruiting
Safety study of a new lung support device for small children
This trial is testing a new device (MiniLung Petite Kit) for babies and young children with severe lung or heart failure. The device helps oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide, giving the lungs and heart a chance to rest and heal.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Up to 8 months - NCT06853223RecruitingPhase 2
Immune drug to prevent lung transplant failure
This trial tests an immune-suppressing medicine to stop a serious complication called primary graft dysfunction that can happen soon after a lung transplant. It may help people who are already on the transplant waiting list and plan to receive a standard anti-rejection drug regimen.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07342205RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fecal transplant for sepsis-related lung injury
This study tests if transferring healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help people with acute lung injury caused by sepsis. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve breathing.
Shanghai, PutuoAges 18 years+ - NCT06349577Recruiting
Bypass machine settings to protect kidneys during heart surgery
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT05689476Recruiting
Measuring diaphragm breathing signals during ICU ventilation
This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
Padova, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07225257Recruiting
Recovering Physical Function After ICU Stay in Older Adults
This study looks at how to help older adults regain physical strength after a serious illness that required time in the ICU. It aims to find the best ways to help you recover daily activities like walking and moving around.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
Canuelas, Buenos AiresAges 1 month–14 years - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT06192342Recruiting
Breathing machine settings for brain injury patients
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings affect people with new brain or spinal cord injuries who need help breathing. It only includes people with healthy lungs to see which ventilator settings work best.
Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 16 years+ - NCT04485286RecruitingTeam says not enrollingPhase 2
PET scan tracer to find lung or pancreas radiation injury
This Phase 2 study tests a special PET scan tracer to help doctors spot tissue damage after radiation treatment in people with certain lung or pancreatic cancers. The goal is to improve detection and planning around chemoradiation and surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06772025Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury after heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study looks at why some people develop kidney damage after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to help doctors better predict and prevent this complication.

Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05909150RecruitingPhase 2
Hypertonic saline to protect kidneys after a heart transplant
This trial tests whether a hypertonic salt fluid (a higher-salt saline solution) can help prevent sudden kidney injury after heart transplant surgery. If you’re recently hospitalized for a heart transplant, you may be eligible if specific kidney support needs and critical breathing/circulation devices aren’t already required.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06514729Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute lung injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 53 recruiting acute lung injury 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 lung injury 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 lung injury 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.
