Recruiting studies
- NCT06996509Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support for Guillain-Barré syndrome
This trial tests whether noninvasive breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) can help people with Guillain-Barré syndrome who have trouble breathing. It aims to see if this approach can avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT07001696Recruiting
Predicting breathing support needs with chest X-ray and blood gas
This trial looks at whether combining a chest X-ray and a blood gas test can help doctors decide if a critically ill patient needs a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to find a better way to make this important decision.
Zagazig, Al SharqiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT02299921Recruiting
Alcohol and drug effects on immunity in ICU breathing patients
This study looks at how alcohol and other drugs can affect the body’s immune system in people who are very sick in the ICU due to breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand immune changes during critical illness and respiratory failure.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT02464696Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support to avoid tube breathing in cancer
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07503509Recruiting
Study of high PEEP in noninvasive ventilation
This study tests whether using higher pressure settings (PEEP) on a noninvasive breathing mask can help people with low oxygen levels. The doctors will measure the pressure inside your esophagus to guide the treatment.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07319039Recruiting
Brain scan study of breathlessness in cancer, COPD, and heart failure
This study uses a brain scan (fMRI) to learn how the brain processes shortness of breath in people with advanced heart failure, COPD, or lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat breathlessness.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT04471129Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support after heart surgery to protect heart function
This study tests whether two noninvasive breathing/oxygen treatments after cardiac surgery help improve heart function. It may benefit people with weak pumping function who are recovering in the hospital and can safely use these devices.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT07348237RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new kidney disease drug in patients with kidney failure
This trial tests the safety of a new medicine (MK-2828) in people with advanced kidney disease or on dialysis, and compares them to healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how the drug works in the body and if it's safe for these patients.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 24–85 - NCT06751537Recruiting
Testing a wearable device for COPD severity
This trial tests a wearable device (WearME) that tracks your breathing and activity to see how well it can measure COPD severity. It may help you and your doctor better understand your lung function at home.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–100 - NCT07047547Recruiting
Vericiguat study for kidney disease and heart failure patients
This trial tests how a medication called vericiguat works in people with both chronic kidney disease and heart failure. It aims to see if the drug helps manage these conditions together.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04427826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Morphine to prevent early NIV failure in COPD flare-ups
This trial studies whether morphine can help people with a COPD flare-up avoid “non-invasive ventilation” (breathing support through a mask) failing early. The goal is to reduce how often people need escalation of care soon after starting NIV.
Grenoble, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT06652776Enrolling by invitation
Italian COPD patient registry study
This study is creating a registry to better understand Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Italian patients. It will collect information from people with COPD to improve care and research.
Milan, MilanAges 40 years+ - NCT04220463Recruiting
Hypnosis during noninvasive breathing support for ICU lung illness
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06897410Recruiting
Support program after hospital discharge for heart or lung issues
This program offers extra support—like social and home care help—after you leave the hospital for a heart or lung problem. It's designed for people 65 and older who live in the Sant Jaume de Calella Hospital area.
Calella, BarcelonaAges 65 years+ - NCT06072690Recruiting
COPD and Heart Health Study
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
Kaunas, Kaunas CountyAges 40 years+ - NCT07232550Recruiting
Breathing study for children needing bronchoscopy
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
WarsawAges Up to 17 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06976762Enrolling by invitation
Light-based muscle oxygen measurements in COPD with kidney disease
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure muscle oxygen levels in people who have both COPD and chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if these measurements can help predict how the disease progresses, which could lead to better monitoring and treatment.
Tokat ProvinceAges 18–80 - NCT05952999Enrolling by invitation
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+ - NCT06772454Recruiting
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07370103Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure in liver disease patients after anesthesia
This study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck's main artery to see if it can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure after you are put to sleep for surgery. It is for adult patients with chronic liver disease who are having planned surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic respiratory failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 94 recruiting chronic respiratory failure 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 chronic respiratory failure 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 chronic respiratory failure 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.
