Recruiting studies
- NCT07460141Recruiting
Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
TrabzonAges 18 years+ - NCT05844579Recruiting
Early breathing and mobilization support for ICU lung injury
This study looks at whether starting early movement and breathing-related care while in the ICU helps people with ARDS (a serious lung condition). You may be eligible if you recently needed a breathing machine and are expected to need it for a bit longer.

Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07150637Enrolling by invitation
Predicting muscle weakness in children on a breathing machine
This study aims to predict muscle weakness that can happen to children on breathing machines in the ICU. It could help doctors start treatments earlier to prevent this weakness.

Multimedia program to help ICU nurses with chemo care
This trial is testing a new computer program designed to teach intensive care unit (ICU) nurses about chemotherapy and improve their confidence in giving chemo to patients. It's not a treatment trial for patients, but a study to help nurses learn better.
TainanAges 18 years+ - NCT05807997Recruiting
Looking at outcomes of patients not admitted to ICU
This retrospective study reviews people who were evaluated by the general ICU team but were not admitted to the ICU between 2018 and 2023. It looks at their medical characteristics and outcomes to help understand who may or may not need ICU care.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT07069010Recruiting
Palliative care education for ICU staff
This trial studies whether a tele-palliative care education program can reduce burnout in ICU clinicians. It involves completing surveys before and during the program.
AthensAges Any age - NCT07052123Recruiting
Blood pressure monitoring in ICU with DARE device
This trial tests a new non-invasive device (DARE) to measure blood pressure and core body temperature in patients who are already receiving standard monitoring with an arterial line and a urinary catheter in the ICU.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07485244Recruiting
EEG brain monitoring in ICU patients at risk for delirium
This study uses a simple headband (EEG) to monitor brain activity in ICU patients who are at high risk for delirium. The goal is to see if the EEG can help detect delirium earlier, so doctors can provide better care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07542925Recruiting
Predicting ICU Needs After Cancer Surgery
This study helps doctors predict which cancer surgery patients will need intensive care after their operation. By understanding these patterns better, hospitals can prepare resources and plan better care for patients like you.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07744321Recruiting
Bacteria in stool during long ICU stays
This study looks at how certain bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae) change over time in the stool of ICU patients staying at least 28 days. It aims to understand why these infections occur and how they evolve, which could help improve future care.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07707765Recruiting
Early help after sepsis in the ICU to prevent PTSD
This study tests whether early psychological support after sepsis in the ICU can reduce the chance of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you recently left the ICU after sepsis, you may be able to join.
AshkelonAges 18–120 - NCT07094425Recruiting
Heart function study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study looks at how the heart is affected in critically ill patients who need a breathing machine. It uses ultrasound and other simple tests to check for heart problems that can happen in the ICU, which may help doctors find and treat them earlier.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06923813Recruiting
Measuring nutrient absorption in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study checks how well patients who are still in the hospital after an ICU stay absorb the nutrients from their tube feeding. A special test called bomb calorimetry will measure the calories in stool to see if the body is getting the energy it needs.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07193069Recruiting
Metformin overdose in the ICU – signs and dapagliflozin effects
This study looks at patients who are in the ICU after taking too much metformin (a diabetes drug), sometimes along with another drug called dapagliflozin (Farxiga). The goal is to understand how overdose affects the body and what signs doctors should watch for.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07369258Recruiting
Music to prevent confusion in the ICU for older adults
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 65 years+ - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU
This study tests whether giving low-dose blood pressure medicines through a standard IV (instead of a larger central line) is safe and effective for patients with shock in the intensive care unit.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06665529Recruiting
Predicting 28-day survival in the ICU
This trial looks at how doctors and nurses predict survival for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, compared to a standard medical score. It may help understand the accuracy of these predictions.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT06342895Recruiting
Better nutrition in the ICU
This study looks at how to improve nutrition for people in the ICU at Lille University Hospital. It tests better ways to give food through a tube or IV to help patients recover faster.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06845865Recruiting
Gut barrier test in ICU patients with organ failure
This study looks at how the gut barrier works in people with severe infections that cause organ failure. It measures intestinal permeability using a simple test, to see if a 'leaky gut' contributes to how sick patients get.
VincennesAges 18 years+ - NCT06791889Recruiting
Tracking bacteria in blood of ICU sepsis patients
This study uses a highly sensitive blood test (DdPCR) to quickly find and monitor harmful bacteria in ICU patients with sepsis, aiming to improve early detection and treatment.
WuhanAges 18 years+ - NCT07070050RecruitingPhase 4
NSAIDs after laparoscopic surgery: continuous or bolus?
This study compares giving NSAID pain relievers continuously through an IV versus as single doses (bolus) after laparoscopic surgery to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care (icu)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 205 recruiting intensive care (icu) 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 intensive care (icu) 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 intensive care (icu) 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.
