We’re tracking 11 recruiting acute respiratory failure studies with a site in Illinois — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Illinois
- 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.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 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.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04707729Recruiting
Checking when to intubate patients on nasal high-flow oxygen
This study looks at a scoring system (ROX Index) to help decide the best timing to place a breathing tube (intubate) for adults who are struggling to get enough oxygen while using nasal high-flow (NHF). The goal is to see if using this timing approach can improve care for acute lung failure in the ICU.

Studying Hospital-At-Home care done from home
This trial looks at how well a “Hospital at Home” program works when people start from the emergency department or are already in the hospital and can be cared for at home. It may help teams improve care at home for certain medical conditions and situations.
Peoria, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05918575Recruiting
Breathing support after a breathing tube in very obese adults
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.

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.

Common questions
- Are there acute respiratory failure clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting acute respiratory failure studies with a site in Illinois, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a acute respiratory failure study in Illinois?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute respiratory failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New acute respiratory failure studies open in Illinois regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
