Recruiting studies
- NCT06294613Recruiting

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT06733935RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of NKX019 for immune diseases
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called NKX019 for people with certain autoimmune diseases like scleroderma, myositis, vasculitis, or rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see if NKX019 can help control the disease when standard treatments have not worked well enough.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04645602RecruitingPhase 2
Study of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib for lung papillomas
This early-phase trial tests how well pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib can treat respiratory papillomas that have spread to the lungs. It may help people whose lung disease is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06615492Recruiting
Lung transplant study: comparing two ECMO methods
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05913908Recruiting
Valve procedure study for severe tricuspid leakage
This trial tests how well a new catheter-based valve system works for people with severe (or worse) tricuspid valve leaking who still have symptoms despite medicines. It aims to improve outcomes by treating the leaking valve without open-heart surgery, if your heart structure and overall health fit the study.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05443425RecruitingPhase 1
Leflunomide plus steroids for acute graft-versus-host disease
This early-phase trial tests whether adding leflunomide to standard steroid treatment can better control acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) after a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce the immune reaction that damages the body while keeping treatment safe and manageable.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06052436RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Treg cell therapy for COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress
This trial tests a new cell therapy using Treg cells from thymic tissue to calm an overactive immune response in severe COVID-19 and ARDS. It aims to improve breathing and reduce inflammation.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT07701096Enrolling by invitation
Home breathing support monitoring for advanced COPD
This study tests a home monitoring system that watches how well noninvasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) works for people with severe COPD. The system sends early warnings to your care team if your breathing patterns change, which may help prevent flare-ups.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06529913Recruiting
Metals, pollutants, and risk of allergies
This study looks at whether heavy metals, nanoparticles, and other pollutants in the environment increase the risk of allergic diseases like contact dermatitis. If you have a metal allergy or are a healthy adult, you may help researchers understand how these exposures affect your health.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07466056Recruiting
Wearable heart monitor test for hospital patients
This trial tests a new, soft, wearable monitor that tracks your heart and body signs without wires or sticky pads. It aims to see if this device can help doctors diagnose and treat heart disease more comfortably.
Beijing, ChinaAges 18–85 - NCT07394959Recruiting
Guided hydration to protect kidneys in elderly heart patients
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart procedures to prevent kidney injury. It uses a special vest that measures lung fluid to guide how much hydration you get.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT06207591Recruiting
Brain implant study for locked-in communication
This study tests a new brain implant (CortiCom) that may help people who are locked-in or nearly locked-in communicate again. It involves surgery to place the device in the brain and requires a caregiver and commitment to follow-up visits.
UtrechtAges 18–70 - NCT07382258Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide for COPD: a clinical study
This trial tests whether a gas called nitric oxide, breathed in through the nose or mouth, can help people with moderate to severe COPD. It could improve breathing and quality of life.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40–75 - NCT06080074RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency heart-lung machine study for children with severe heart failure
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges birth–16 years - NCT04220463Recruiting
Hypnosis during noninvasive breathing support for ICU lung illness
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07835945Recruiting
Testing blood gas from artery vs fingertip in breathing distress
This trial compares blood drawn from an artery (arterial blood gas) with blood from a fingertip (capillary blood gas) to see if the fingertip test gives accurate enough results for patients in the emergency room with breathing problems caused by COPD or heart failure. It might help reduce the pain and discomfort of repeated artery tests.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07115953Recruiting
Spiral nerve treatment for uncontrolled high blood pressure
This trial tests a new procedure to treat high blood pressure by using a special catheter to calm overactive nerves in your kidneys. It may help you achieve better blood pressure control if medications are not enough.
MelbourneAges 18 years+ - NCT07482930Recruiting
Nerve stimulation and breathing test study in healthy adults
This study tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear can change how you breathe during a lung function test. It is only for healthy volunteers aged 18–40 who have no heart, lung, nerve, or mental health conditions.
SinopAges 18–40 - NCT06275230Recruiting
Growing lung stem cells from COPD patients
This trial aims to grow lung stem cells and create mini-lungs (organoids) from the tissue of people with COPD. It may help researchers understand the disease better and develop new treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diseases of the respiratory system?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 87 recruiting diseases of the respiratory system 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 diseases of the respiratory system 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 diseases of the respiratory system 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.
