This study looks at patients with sepsis (a severe infection that affects organs) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, a serious lung condition) to learn more about these illnesses and improve care.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06083363Recruiting
Recovery after severe lung infection
This study follows patients who had severe pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) to understand how they recover over time. It aims to identify factors that affect recovery trajectories.
Tortosa, TarragonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07726940Recruiting
A Study of Immune Responses and ECMO in Severe Lung Injury
This study looks at how the immune system and ECMO (a machine that helps oxygenate blood) can improve outcomes for people with moderate to severe ARDS. If you join, researchers will monitor your condition and treatment to find better ways to manage this serious lung problem.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07669558Recruiting
Finding the best side-lying position for ARDS after abdominal surgery
This trial uses a special imaging test (electrical impedance tomography) to find the safest side position for patients with lung injury after abdominal surgery in the ICU. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing comfort.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07633366Recruiting
Understanding ARDS Through Lung Fluid and Imaging Analysis
This study examines lung fluid samples and imaging scans from patients on breathing machines to better understand acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. Researchers hope this will help doctors diagnose and treat ARDS more effectively in the future.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06036056Recruiting
Blood Chemistry Study in Mild ARDS
This study uses a special blood test (called NMR metabolomics) to understand how your body's chemistry changes in the early stages of mild ARDS. It may help find better ways to treat this serious lung condition.
Lucknow, Uttar PradeshAges 18–65 - NCT07603310Recruiting
PEEP levels in ARDS based on lung response
This study tests whether adjusting ventilator settings based on how well your lungs respond can improve oxygen and reduce damage in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, within the first 36 hours of diagnosis.
Rancagua, Región del Libertador General Bernardo O’HigginsAges 18 years+ - NCT06734988Recruiting
Esophageal Pressure Study for ARDS on Ventilators
This study looks at how well a special pressure measurement in your food pipe (esophageal pressure) works in people with severe lung injury (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors improve ventilator settings for better lung recovery.
Sapporo, HokkaidoAges 16 years+ - NCT07558538RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Inhaled Growth Factor Treatment for Severe Lung Failure
This early-stage trial tests whether an inhaled medication called recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rh-KGF-2) can help patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)—a serious condition where the lungs cannot deliver enough oxygen to the blood. The drug is designed to help repair lung tissue damage.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06696638Recruiting
Guiding breathing help with lung imaging vs. pressure in ARDS
This trial compares two ways to set the breathing machine for people with ARDS (a serious lung injury). One method uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to see how the lungs are working, while the other uses pressure measurements. The goal is to find the best way to adjust ventilator support to help you breathe more easily.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06741137Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide and prone positioning for ARDS
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07490925Recruiting
Breathing Machine Strategy to Protect the Heart in ARDS
This trial tests a special breathing machine strategy that uses pressure measurements from a small tube in your esophagus (food pipe) to protect your heart's right side while treating ARDS caused by pneumonia. It may help if you have severe lung failure and need a ventilator.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06790875Recruiting
Comparing two ventilator settings for lung health in ARDS
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07449572RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of HT31-1 for healthy volunteers
This trial tests a new drug called HT31-1 to see if it's safe in healthy people. It looks at how the drug moves in your body and if it causes side effects. This is a first step before testing it in patients with ARDS (a serious lung condition).
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT06805409Recruiting
Ultrasound test for kidney risk in ARDS patients
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Créteil, Val de MarneAges 18–100 - NCT07362537Recruiting

- Are there clinical trials for ards?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 132 recruiting ards 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 ards 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 ards 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.
