Recruiting studies
- NCT05873504Recruiting
Testing vibration devices to clear mucus from airways
This trial compares different vibratory devices that help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs. It may help by showing which device works best and is safest for people who need airway clearance therapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07362667Recruiting
Bronchoscopic cleaning and spraying in ABPA
This trial tests a procedure that uses a bronchoscope to clean mucus from the airways and then spray the antifungal drug amphotericin B directly into the lungs. It may help people whose ABPA is active and not improving with standard treatments.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07135284Recruiting
Testing the LibAirty System for Bronchiectasis at Home
This trial tests the LibAirty system, a device that helps clear mucus from your lungs, in people with bronchiectasis. Participants use the device at home to see how well it works in daily life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT06838442Recruiting
Exercise and airway clearance education for NTM lung disease
This trial studies whether a program of exercise and airway clearance education helps people with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease. It aims to improve breathing and quality of life.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT06791798Recruiting
Breathing treatments for patients on ventilators
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
CairoAges 35–55 - NCT06805357Recruiting
Lung opening during chest therapy on a breathing machine
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
CréteilAges 18–100 - NCT07420946Recruiting
Expert opinions on a lung clearance device for ICU patients
This study gathers expert opinions from healthcare professionals about using a device called MI-E to help clear airways in critically ill patients. If you are a clinician with experience in this area, your input could help shape future guidelines.
NaplesAges Any age - NCT06177197Recruiting
Seawater spray for baby bronchiolitis
This trial tests whether a seawater spray can help clear blocked noses in babies with their first episode of bronchiolitis. The goal is to see if it improves breathing and keeps babies out of the hospital.
BrestAges 1 month–1 year - NCT06190431Recruiting
Can coaching help kids learn to use a lung-clearing device?
This study tests whether a coaching feature helps children learn to use a device called mechanical in-exsufflation (MI-E), which helps clear mucus from the lungs. The trial is split into two parts: one for healthy children and one for children with neuromuscular diseases.
Brussels, Brussels CapitalAges 6–12 - NCT06339593RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Using MRI to Monitor CF Lung Health
This study uses MRI scans to monitor lung health in teens and young adults with cystic fibrosis who are taking Trikafta. It aims to find better ways to track how the disease affects the lungs over time.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 12–21 - NCT06461884Recruiting
Percussion and breathing exercises for pneumonia recovery
This study tests whether combining chest percussion (gentle tapping on the chest) with deep breathing exercises helps clear mucus from the lungs in people aged 40-60 who have pneumonia. It may help you breathe easier and recover faster.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07395297Recruiting
Airway clearance therapy for ICU lung infections
This trial tests a new airway clearance device in ICU patients with pneumonia. It may help clear mucus from your lungs and improve breathing without needing a breathing tube.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07451405Recruiting
Using OLE therapy for lung expansion in ventilated patients with collapsed lungs
This trial tests a breathing treatment called Oscillation and Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy. It is for people on a breathing machine who have a collapsed area in the lung (atelectasis) and a lot of phlegm. The goal is to help open the lungs and clear mucus more easily.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for airway clearance?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting airway clearance 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 airway clearance 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 airway clearance 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.
