Recruiting studies
- NCT06835491RecruitingPhase 3

AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06677502Enrolling by invitation
Cerebrolysin for delirium in ICU patients
This trial tests a medicine called Cerebrolysin to see if it helps reduce confusion and agitation (delirium) in patients who are critically ill and being treated in the ICU. It may be an option for you if you are over 18 and have delirium symptoms.
Lubin, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18–100 - NCT06357403Recruiting
Predicting blood clots in ICU patients with a blood test
This study looks at whether a blood test measuring a substance called anti-factor Xa activity can help predict dangerous blood clots in critically ill patients. If you join, researchers will follow you to see if the test results can prevent clots.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04047784Enrolling by invitation
Using EBUS to help diagnose a blood clot in the lungs
This study looks at whether a procedure called EBUS (a camera passed through the airway) can help doctors diagnose an acute pulmonary embolism—a sudden blood clot in the lungs—in critically ill, intubated ICU patients. If you’re eligible, EBUS may be done during bronchoscopy as part of your usual care to help confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04404400RecruitingPhase 3
Hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone for critical illness hormone shortage
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving hydrocortisone plus fludrocortisone to critically ill ICU patients with suspected “corticosteroid insufficiency” can improve outcomes without relying on steroids already being used. It may help patients whose bodies aren’t making enough stress hormones during severe illness.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT06039501Recruiting
The Family Perspectives Project Pilot Trial
This study looks at how to improve communication between families and the care team when a loved one is on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help families feel more supported and involved in care decisions.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04166877RecruitingPhase 4
Magnesium drip to reduce pain in ICU trauma patients
This trial tests whether a magnesium infusion can better control pain in adults who have serious injuries and need intensive care. It compares magnesium as part of pain treatment to standard pain care to see if pain improves and stays controlled.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05713877RecruitingPhase 2
Melatonin to treat confusion in ICU patients
This Phase 2 trial tests whether melatonin can reduce delirium, a sudden confusion that can happen in the ICU. If you qualify, you may be given melatonin to see if it improves alertness and comfort during an expected longer ICU stay.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06027684Recruiting
Intensive care decisions, survival, and dying well
This study talks to adults who have been in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand their views on life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life wishes, and when they would want less or more care. It aims to improve how doctors and families make these hard decisions together.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06150326Recruiting
Medical honey for wound treatment in intensive care
This trial tests whether medical honey can help heal wounds like bedsores, cuts, or surgical openings in intensive care patients. If you have a fresh wound that meets the size requirements, you may be able to join.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07802379Recruiting
Tube feeding tolerance with different blood pressure medications in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06735898Recruiting
A combined therapy for recovery after intensive care
This trial tests a combination of CYTOFLAVIN (given as an IV and later as a pill) to help people with long-term symptoms after spending time in the ICU. It aims to improve muscle weakness, breathing, swallowing, and energy levels during later stages of rehabilitation.
Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT06966869Recruiting
Fentanyl patch absorption in ICU patients
This study looks at how well fentanyl patches work in ICU patients who are not stable. It aims to understand if the patch is absorbed properly in these patients.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18–70 - NCT06574672Recruiting
Palliative care in the medical ICU
This study tests whether adding palliative care (comfort and support care) to usual MICU treatment helps patients and families. It takes place in the medical intensive care unit.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07407400RecruitingPhase 4
Sleep medication to prevent confusion in older ICU patients
This study tests whether a sleep medication called lemborexant can help older patients in the ICU sleep better and prevent post-surgery confusion. It may be a good fit if you are over 65 and will be in the ICU for at least two days after surgery.
BangkokAges 65 years+ - NCT06285162Recruiting
Nerve health monitor during ICU dialysis
This trial uses a special monitor (called ANI) to check how well your nervous system is working while you are on continuous kidney dialysis in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand your body's response to fluid removal.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07536750Recruiting
Comparing Two Sedation Drugs for ICU Patients on Breathing Support
This study compares two medications (ciprofol and propofol) used to keep ICU patients calm and comfortable while they receive non-invasive breathing support, such as oxygen masks or tubes that help them breathe without a breathing tube in their windpipe. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04722939Recruiting
Testing brain function outcomes after ICU kidney failure treatment
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06547892RecruitingPhase 2
Vasopressin to prevent kidney injury in the ICU
This trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04201704Recruiting
Less IV fluids for children after trauma
This trial studies whether giving children less fluid through a vein after serious injury helps them recover safely. Children are enrolled soon after arrival to the ICU so the team can compare outcomes between different fluid amounts.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 6 months–15 years - NCT07643467RecruitingPhase 4
Fluorescent dye test for kidney function in ICU patients
This trial tests a new fluorescent dye that may help doctors quickly check how well your kidneys are working while you are in the intensive care unit. It could provide a faster, less invasive way to monitor kidney health.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–65 - NCT07542366Recruiting
Testing a new lung imaging method in ICU patients
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07522580Recruiting
Heart Fluid Response Monitoring in Critically Ill Children
This study tests a simple, non-invasive device that measures how well a child's heart responds when doctors give extra fluids during intensive care. It helps doctors decide if more fluids will actually help the child feel better.
Le Plessis-Robinson, FranceAges birth–8 years - NCT07511582RecruitingPhase 2
Steroids for severe breathing problems in the ICU
This study tests whether a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) can help people with severe breathing problems or serious infections who have a specific 'hyperinflammatory' pattern. If you are in the ICU on a ventilator, this trial may be an option for you.
