Study of aztreonam-avibactam for drug-resistant infections
This trial studies a combination antibiotic called aztreonam-avibactam for treating infections caused by hard-to-treat bacteria, especially those that produce certain enzymes (MBLs). It aims to see how well this medicine works in hospital patients.
ParisAges Any age - NCT07682766Recruiting
Biomarkers of inflammation and infection in critical care
This study looks at markers of inflammation, infection, and immunity in patients who are in the critical care area. It aims to find early signs of how severe the illness might become, how well treatments work, and if infections will develop.
TorinoAges 18 years+ - NCT03216785Recruiting
Study of long-term health after ICU stays
This study follows people admitted to a medical intensive care unit to understand long-term problems after critical illness. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how to improve recovery after an ICU stay.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05415332Recruiting
Tracking outcomes for cardiogenic shock in ICU
This study looks at how people with cardiogenic shock (or very low blood pressure from heart causes) do after treatment in a specialized cardiovascular ICU. It also examines whether care by heart critical-care specialists affects outcomes.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05752383Recruiting
Study of how cardiogenic shock patients do in the ICU
This study looks at what happens to people with cardiogenic shock while they are in the intensive care unit (ICU), including how their heart and blood circulation change over time. It may help doctors better understand the course of illness in this specific type of shock and improve care.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05295862Recruiting
Stroke registry for adults after acute stroke
This study enrolls adults who are admitted to the hospital for a sudden (acute) stroke. It mainly collects information about your care and recovery to help improve stroke treatment in the future.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT07822815Enrolling by invitation
Experts agree on best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients
This study asks a panel of international experts to agree on the best ways to manage difficult airways in cancer patients. If you are a specialist with at least five years of experience caring for cancer patients with airway problems, your opinion could help shape future guidelines.
Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT02893462Recruiting
Collecting health and signal data from ICU patients
This trial sets up a way to collect and store physiological readings (like vital-sign data) from adults in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve how doctors understand and monitor critically ill patients over time.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06569901Recruiting
Hope after ICU: A support study
This study tests a program to help patients feel more hopeful and supported after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU). If you were in the ICU for more than 48 hours and can talk and use video calls, you may be able to join.
Drammen, AkershusAges 18–85 - NCT06374589Recruiting
Closing the loop on oxygen use during high flow therapy
This trial tests a system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy. The goal is to see if it can keep oxygen levels in a safe range better than usual care.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06799910Recruiting
Optimizing fluid balance with bioelectrical impedance during dialysis in ICU
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT06810596Recruiting
Comparing two insulin infusion methods for diabetic ICU adults
This trial compares two ways of giving insulin through an IV to adults with diabetes in the intensive care unit to find which works better for controlling blood sugar.
IsmailiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06769360Recruiting
Pressure support breathing trial for ICU patients

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06862700Recruiting
Less vasopressors for heart shock on ECMO
This trial is studying whether using less of the medicines that raise blood pressure (vasopressors) can help people with severe heart failure who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) survive. It may answer if a gentler approach is safer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07323667Enrolling by invitation
Study of a first responder system for cardiac arrest in Zug

- How do I know if I qualify for a critical care 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 critical care 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.
