Best time for lying on stomach with severe lung failure
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who need a breathing machine. It tests how long lying on your stomach (prone position) helps improve breathing, by measuring changes in your body's oxygen levels and other vital signs.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06854627Recruiting
Comparing two ways of lying face down for ARDS patients
This study compares lying face down continuously for a long time versus lying face down for shorter periods each day. It is for patients with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see which approach helps the lungs recover better.
Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06876415Recruiting
Comparing two ways to wean patients off ECMO
This study compares two methods for removing patients from a breathing machine called ECMO. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06911450Recruiting
Ultrasound test for lung strain in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06919484Recruiting
RCexp effect on lung air and blood flow in ARDS
This study tests a new technique (RCexp) to see how it affects air and blood flow in the lungs of people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve how we monitor and treat lung problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 19 years+ - NCT06936618Recruiting
Electrical impedance guided ventilator settings for breathing failure
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06967207Recruiting
Electrical imaging lung monitor for ARDS outcomes
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06971042Recruiting
Using lung ultrasound to find ARDS early in ventilated patients
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
TantaAges 22–80 - NCT07025421Recruiting
Using vertical positioning for ARDS patients
This study tests whether raising the head of the bed (vertical positioning) can help patients with ARDS breathe better. It may offer a simple, non-drug way to improve oxygen levels.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT07051967Recruiting
Comparing recovery after ICU for pregnant and non-pregnant COVID-19 patients
This study looks at how COVID-19 and respiratory failure affect recovery after intensive care. It compares pregnant patients to non-pregnant patients to learn more about the long-term effects.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07083973Recruiting
Monitoring lung function with 3D imaging in ARDS
This study is testing a new way to monitor lung function using a 3D electrical imaging device (EIT) while patients with ARDS lie on their stomach to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this imaging helps doctors better understand how the lungs are working.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07090460Recruiting
Measuring lung overstretch in prone-position ARDS patients
This study uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to check if the lungs are being overstretched when patients with severe breathing problems are placed on their stomach (prone position). It may help doctors adjust breathing machines more safely.
Bayonne, Centre Hospitalier de La Côte BasqueAges 18 years+ - NCT07125079Recruiting
Studying immune cells and a new treatment for ARDS
This study looks at how the immune system responds in people with ARDS (a severe lung injury) and tests a new treatment called PIP-2 in the lab to see if it might help. It aims to better understand lung injury and find new ways to treat it.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–90 - NCT07126964Recruiting
Extended prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07165717Recruiting
Real-world study of breathing emergencies in ICU patients
This study looks at why some patients develop severe breathing problems in the ICU. It focuses on people who already have conditions like severe infections, injuries, or heavy bleeding that can stress the lungs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute respiratory distress syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 160 recruiting acute respiratory distress syndrome 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 respiratory distress syndrome 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 respiratory distress syndrome 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.
