Recruiting studies
- NCT06179771Recruiting
Filter during dialysis or ECMO for severe illness
This study tests a special filter (HA380 column) used during dialysis or ECMO to remove harmful substances from the blood. It is for critically ill patients with severe infection, injury, or breathing problems who also need kidney or lung support.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–65 - NCT06164639Enrolling by invitation
Biomarkers and causes of lung injury from reflux
This study looks at why some people on breathing tubes develop lung damage from stomach acid getting into the lungs. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat this injury.
ShanghaiAges 18–99 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04966624Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing strategy for new focal ARDS
This study tests a way to guide ventilator settings using lung ultrasound pictures in adults with very new, localized ("focal") ARDS. The goal is to see whether this approach improves care for people who just started needing a breathing machine.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05855317Recruiting
Tests blood marker link to lung blood clots in ARDS
This study looks at a blood marker (EV-TF) to see whether it helps predict pulmonary embolism—blood clots in the lungs—in people with ARDS who are in the ICU. Results may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05801224Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide for lung injury in intensive care
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT05795465RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests GEn-1124 to see if it can improve outcomes in people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). You may be eligible if the study drug can be started very soon after ARDS is diagnosed and if you meet the safety and health requirements.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–85 - NCT05002478Recruiting
Prone positioning for very sick babies with lung distress
This trial tests whether turning very sick, ventilated infants onto their stomach (prone positioning) can improve breathing when they have severe lung distress from likely pneumonia or bronchiolitis. It may help your baby get better oxygen levels and recover faster, while doctors closely monitor safety.
ViennaAges Up to 1 year - NCT04524091Recruiting
Predict breathing effort response to higher ventilator pressure
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
San Martín, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT03963622Recruiting
Test of careful breathing support for severe lung distress
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04221737Recruiting
Early breathing support for ARDS using a pressure release ventilator
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18–80 - 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

Common questions
- 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.
