Recruiting studies
- NCT06900101Recruiting
Monitoring study in brain injury intensive care
This study uses a special monitoring system to closely watch patients in the neurologic intensive care unit. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain injuries.
France, BronAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06970990Recruiting
Testing nose pressure to measure breathing effort with oxygen therapy
This trial uses a small tube in your nose to measure how hard you are working to breathe while receiving different types of oxygen therapy. It aims to find out if this nose pressure test can replace a more invasive test, making monitoring easier for you.
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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06370338Recruiting
Expert views on cardiothoracic critical care training
This study interviews experts in cardiothoracic critical care to understand what training is needed. It helps improve how doctors learn to care for patients after heart or chest surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - 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 - NCT02804438Recruiting
Pupil measurement checks in neurocritical care patients
This study collects normal (baseline) results from a handheld eye pupil camera (a pupillometer) used during routine neuro–intensive care checks. It may help clinicians better interpret these eye measurements in future patients.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07013175Recruiting
Wise Choices in the Intensive Care Unit
This study looks at how decisions are made in the ICU. It may help improve care for adult patients in Swedish intensive care units.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06832722RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for cardiogenic shock in intensive care
This trial tests an investigational drug called invobenitug for people in cardiogenic shock, a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood. The drug may help improve blood flow and reduce the need for strong blood pressure medicines.
YerevanAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06681649Recruiting
ICU follow-up care for survivors and their caregivers
This study tests a bundle of follow-up care for ICU survivors and their caregivers after leaving the hospital. It aims to improve recovery and support for both patients and their families.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07191743Recruiting
Functional Assessment in ICU Patients
This study observes how well adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) can function in daily activities, like moving and caring for themselves. It aims to understand recovery and may help improve care for future ICU patients.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT07646249Recruiting
Best breathing support after surgery in the ICU
This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe after surgery while they're being moved to the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the safest and most effective method for patients who need a breathing tube.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for critical care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 183 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.
