Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - NCT06184659RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antibiotics for sepsis in critical illness
This trial compares two common antibiotics, meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam, to see which works better for adults with sepsis who are critically ill. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for serious infections.
Copenhagen, København ØAges 18 years+ - NCT06206759Recruiting
Vitamin C for triglyceride levels in ICU patients
This trial looks at whether giving vitamin C through an IV can help lower triglyceride levels in patients in the intensive care unit. It compares patients who received vitamin C with similar patients who did not.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT06456151Recruiting
Candida infection in critically ill patients study
This study looks at patients in the intensive care unit who have a new infection with Candida (a type of fungus) despite taking strong antibiotics. It aims to better understand and diagnose these serious infections.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 1 year+ - NCT06526598Recruiting
Breathing support tailored to your effort in the ICU
This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06832436Recruiting
Atrial strain study in septic shock patients
This study looks at how well the upper chambers of the heart (atria) work during septic shock using a special heart ultrasound. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected by severe infections.
SalouëlAges 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+ - NCT06990295Recruiting
Ultrasound spleen stimulation for sepsis shock
This trial tests if using focused ultrasound to stimulate the spleen can reduce inflammation in septic shock. It may help patients in the ICU who need strong blood pressure support.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07182916Recruiting
Why some patients return to the ICU early
This study looks at reasons why patients might need to come back to the intensive care unit (ICU) within a short time after being discharged. It may help doctors improve care and prevent early readmissions.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07239206Recruiting
Serious game for ICU nurses on temperature management
This study tests whether a serious game (an educational game) can help critical care nurses learn more about targeted temperature management (cooling or warming the body to protect the brain) and improve their ability to notice and react to patient changes. You would play the game and take tests before and after to see if it works.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07318571Recruiting
AI tool to help nurses prevent bedsores in ICU patients
This trial is for ICU nurses who already perform skin checks for pressure injuries. It tests whether an AI tool can help them assess patients' skin more accurately and consistently. The study focuses on adult ICU patients without major skin problems.
Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 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+ - NCT07323667Enrolling by invitation
Study of a first responder system for cardiac arrest in Zug
This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
Zug, Canton of ZugAges 18 years+ - NCT04541862Recruiting
ICU patient information database for adults
This trial collects and studies health information from people who are critically ill and admitted to an intensive care unit. It may help doctors learn how to better care for ICU patients in the future.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07632716Recruiting
Blood marker to predict ICU patient outcomes
This study measures a specific blood protein (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) when patients arrive at the hospital to see if it can predict how well they'll do in the intensive care unit. Understanding this marker might help doctors better plan care for critically ill patients.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07093450Recruiting
Reducing antibiotic use in intensive care safely
This trial tests a quality improvement program to help ICUs use fewer antibiotics without compromising patient safety. It looks at how well the intervention works to reduce antimicrobial use in critically ill patients.
Colatina, Espírito SantoAges 18 years+ - NCT05409573Recruiting
Check oxygen monitoring during pre-intubation in the ICU
This study tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT07052123Recruiting
Blood pressure monitoring in ICU with DARE device
This trial tests a new non-invasive device (DARE) to measure blood pressure and core body temperature in patients who are already receiving standard monitoring with an arterial line and a urinary catheter in the ICU.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06473415Recruiting
Lormetazepam for sleep in the ICU
This trial tests whether a sleep medication called lormetazepam can improve sleep quality and brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It may help if you need sedation and are expected to stay in the ICU for at least two days.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for critical care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 188 recruiting critical care 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 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.
