Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT06751043Recruiting
Testing if fasting before a procedure is needed in ICU patients
This trial tests whether not eating before a procedure (called preoperative fasting) is better than fasting in ICU patients who are already receiving tube feedings. It aims to find out if skipping the fast can help you without causing extra risks.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06223828RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Azithromycin for Children with Severe Asthma in the ICU
This trial tests whether adding the antibiotic azithromycin to standard asthma treatments helps children with severe asthma in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) recover faster. It is for children ages 3 to 17 who are already receiving strong asthma medicines and steroids.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 3–17 - NCT05673408Recruiting
Check how well a blood pressure cuff reads in critically ill patients
This study tests whether a noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuff gives accurate readings in people being cared for in intensive care or the operating room. It will compare the cuff’s numbers to blood pressure measured through an arterial line in different patient groups.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges Any age - NCT06606119Recruiting
Brain, bone marrow, and gut study after major injury
This study is looking at how the brain, bone marrow, and gut interact after a severe injury. It may help doctors understand how to better treat trauma patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05127265Recruiting
AI and sensors to monitor patients in the ICU
This study uses AI and sensor data to better monitor people while they are in an intensive care unit (ICU). It may help teams notice changes sooner and improve care for ICU patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05906472Recruiting
Feeding through a tube after tracheostomy in the ICU
This study tests a specific way of continuing tube feeding for people who need a tracheostomy after being on a breathing tube in the ICU. The goal is to see if this feeding approach is safe and beneficial for recovery.
West Palm Beach, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05616130Recruiting
Study of abnormal blood immune activation after trauma or elective hip surgery
This study looks at how the body’s blood-related immune system “switches on” in unusual ways after a major injury or elective hip repair. The researchers hope this helps them understand who is at risk for complications and why, by measuring changes in your blood around the time of surgery or hospital treatment.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT07639359RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine for depression in intensive care patients
This study tests whether low-dose ketamine infusions can reduce depressive symptoms in patients staying in the intensive care unit for at least 6 days. Ketamine is a medication that may work differently than standard antidepressants and could provide faster relief.

What taking part in a critical illness study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there critical illness clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting critical illness studies with a site in Florida, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a critical illness study in Florida?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a critical illness trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New critical illness studies open in Florida regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
