ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07343440Recruiting
Nutrition support guided by metabolism for ICU patients
This trial tests whether providing nutrition that is precisely matched to your body's energy needs can improve recovery for patients on breathing machines. It uses a special test to measure your metabolism and adjust the feeding accordingly.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07338240Recruiting
Testing a sickness scoring system in Turkish ICUs
This trial is studying how well a scoring system (SOFA-2) works in Turkish intensive care units (ICUs) to measure how sick patients are. It may help doctors better understand and treat people in ICUs in Türkiye.
Izmir, İzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07310667Enrolling by invitation
Frailty and muscle thickness in older ICU patients
This study looks at how frailty relates to muscle thickness in the thigh for patients over 65 who stay in the intensive care unit for at least a week. It aims to find ways to better support recovery.
Altındağ, AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT07301970Recruiting
Remifentanil dosing in low-weight ICU patients
This study looks at how the sedative remifentanil works in critically ill patients who are underweight or normal weight. It aims to find the right dose for these patients while they are on a breathing machine in the ICU.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07275658Recruiting
Timing and dose of fluid removal in ICU patients
This study tests when and how much fluid should be removed from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need help getting rid of extra fluid. It uses medicines called diuretics or a machine that filters the blood (ultrafiltration) to find the best approach.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07256340Recruiting
Measuring energy use in ICU patients with special water test
This trial measures how much energy critically ill patients burn while in the ICU. If you are in the ICU at Jessa Hospital and expected to stay at least 5 days, you may help doctors understand patients' calorie needs better.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05883137Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen during intubation in the ICU
This trial looks at using a special, fast-flow oxygen device through the nose during intubation in critically ill adults. It may help keep oxygen levels safer while a breathing tube is placed.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–100 - NCT07178626Recruiting
Biomarkers and feeding tolerance in ICU patients
This study looks at whether certain biomarkers and stomach motility measurements can help predict feeding intolerance in critically ill patients who cannot eat by mouth. It aims to improve how patients are fed in the ICU.
ChangchunAges 18 years+ - NCT07173504Recruiting
Continuous vs. intermittent tube feeding in ICU patients
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
Ede, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07173855RecruitingPhase 4
Magnesium replacement in ICU patients
This trial tests whether giving magnesium as part of a standard hospital protocol can lower the risk of irregular heartbeat and improve survival in patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
Ajax, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT07149246Recruiting
Nutrition plan by a dietitian for ICU recovery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for critically ill patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 295 recruiting critically ill patients 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 critically ill patients 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 critically ill patients 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.
