Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06441760Recruiting
Telemedicine support for paramedics in children's emergencies
This study tests whether paramedics and emergency doctors can use a special video or phone link to improve care for children in emergencies. It compares the usual way doctors give advice to paramedics with a new telemedicine method.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT05354141RecruitingPhase 3
Tested treatment with tiny lung particles for moderate to severe ARDS
This Phase 3 trial studies an “extracellular vesicle” treatment in people with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung breathing problem. The goal is to see whether the treatment can improve outcomes compared with standard care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT05108896Recruiting
Testing breathing and swallowing recovery after ICU breathing support
This study looks at aspiration (food or liquid going “the wrong way” into the airway) in people who survived a serious ICU breathing problem. It may help doctors better support safe swallowing and breathing recovery after being on a breathing machine.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06703073RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new treatments for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
This trial is testing new treatments for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. The goal is to find therapies that help patients breathe better and recover faster. If you or a loved one has ARDS, this study may offer access to experimental treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06701656RecruitingPhase 2
Testing bevacizumab for breathing problems from ARDS
This trial tests if bevacizumab can help people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) breathe better. It is for patients with mild, moderate, or severe ARDS who are already in the hospital.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06934876Recruiting
Comparing two CO2 detectors during breathing tube placement in critically ill adults
This study compares two ways of checking that a breathing tube is placed correctly in seriously ill adults: one uses a device that shows a waveform on a screen, and the other uses a color-changing test. It may help doctors choose the best method for patients in the emergency room or ICU.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07223762Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two types of laryngoscope blades for intubation
This trial compares two types of laryngoscope blades (the tool used to guide a breathing tube) to see which works better for routine intubations. If you are an adult scheduled for a planned breathing tube placement, you may be able to join.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05624450RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug tozorakimab for hospitalized viral lung infection needing oxygen
This Phase 3 study tests tozorakimab to see if it helps people hospitalized with a viral lung infection that is causing low oxygen levels. You might qualify if you still need supplemental oxygen when the study starts.

What taking part in a acute respiratory failure study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
