Probiotics for preventing infections in ICU patients
This trial tests whether probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent serious infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are very sick and in the ICU, you may be able to join — as long as you don't have certain conditions like cancer or a weakened immune system.

Metabolic signs, recovery, and physical function after ICU stay
This study looks at whether certain molecules in the blood (metabolic signatures) are linked to how well people recover physically after a serious illness requiring intensive care. By understanding these links, doctors might be able to better predict and support recovery.
Ede, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07141420Enrolling by invitation
Smartphone tool to help ICU recovery
This study tests whether a smartphone tool can help people recover from the long-term effects of being in the ICU. You might be eligible if you had a recent ICU stay and are comfortable using a smartphone.

Talking with ICU patients on a breathing machine
This study looks at how nurses and doctors communicate with patients who are awake but on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to improve communication and make the experience better for patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06904001Enrolling by invitation
Early warning model for sepsis in critically ill patients
This trial is building a tool to predict sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, in intensive care patients. It may help doctors act faster to prevent complications.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–99 - NCT06843668RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Best ways to give colistin for tough infections in the ICU
This study tests different ways of giving the antibiotic colistin to patients in the ICU with infections that are hard to treat. The goal is to find the best dosing schedule to help you fight the infection more effectively.
BuraidahAges 18 years+ - NCT06835491RecruitingPhase 3
Amiodarone to prevent heart rhythm problems after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving the drug amiodarone early can prevent dangerous heart rhythm problems in patients who survived a cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm. If it works, it could help more people recover.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06822465Recruiting
Gut bacteria study in critically ill patients
This study looks at the bacteria in the gut of people who are very ill in the hospital. It may help doctors understand how gut health affects recovery.
Hyde Park, IllinoisAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT06652126Recruiting
Immune status and ICU infections study
This study looks at how having a weakened immune system affects the risk of getting infections with hard-to-treat bacteria in the ICU. Depending on your immune status, you may be placed in a group that helps doctors understand who is most at risk.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06486467Recruiting
AI-guided ultrasound to measure blood flow in ICU patients
This trial tests whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your heart, guided by artificial intelligence, can be reliably done by minimally trained staff. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids to ICU patients who need them.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT06478160Recruiting
Closed blood-sampling system for ICU patients
This trial is testing a new way to draw blood from an arterial line that may reduce infection and blood loss. It is for adults in the ICU who need an arterial line for several days.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05146336Recruiting
CytoSorb registry for critically ill patients needing blood treatment
This registry collects information about critically ill patients who receive the CytoSorb 300 mL blood treatment. It may help doctors better understand when the treatment works best and when it should not be used.
KlagenfurtAges Any age - NCT06446739Recruiting
Low-dose vs standard-dose kidney therapy for ICU patients
This study compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05740735Recruiting
Testing sound-based brain signals to predict recovery after severe brain injury
This study checks how a brain responds to two kinds of sounds—neutral tones and emotional sounds—in people with a persistent disorder of consciousness after a serious event like stroke, head injury, or cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether these brain “signal” tests can help doctors predict outcomes.
Paris, IDFAges 18 years+ - NCT05112705Recruiting
Finding deep vein clots early in ICU patients
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06269900RecruitingPhase 3

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.
