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+ - NCT06701682RecruitingPhase 2
Study of vilobelimab for moderate to severe ARDS
This trial tests a drug called vilobelimab for people with moderate or severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). It aims to find if this treatment can help improve breathing and outcomes.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06701669RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Paridiprubart for moderate to severe ARDS
This trial tests a new medicine called paridiprubart to see if it can help people with moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It may be an option if you have low oxygen levels and no known allergy to the drug.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04068012Recruiting
Test of a decision support tool for children with PARDS
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1 month–18 years - NCT04545424RecruitingPhase 2
Testing cooling treatment for severe lung failure in ICU patients
This trial tests whether therapeutic cooling (hypothermia) can improve outcomes in people with ARDS, a serious lung condition causing breathing failure. It may help by reducing harmful inflammation and lung injury, but eligibility is time-sensitive and requires ICU monitoring.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06521502Recruiting
Studying inflammation in the heart and lungs in the ICU
This study collects blood samples from people in the ICU with sudden heart or lung problems caused by inflammation. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve future treatments.

What taking part in a ards 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.

- Are there ards clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting ards 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 ards 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 ards 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.
