BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05537298Recruiting
Help for muscle recovery after serious ICU illness
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05409573Recruiting
Check oxygen monitoring during pre-intubation in the ICU
This study tests whether a specific oxygen level monitor (end-tidal oxygen, or EtO2) can be used during “preoxygenation” before breathing tube placement. It may help clinicians intubate more safely for people who urgently need a breathing tube due to serious breathing failure.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT05357170Recruiting
Testing gut bacteria changes after severe ICU illnesses
This study looks at changes in the microbiome (gut bacteria) in adults after serious ICU illnesses like sepsis, major trauma, or open heart/abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide future treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–110 - NCT05263674RecruitingPhase 3
Faster ICU treatment for non-convulsive seizures in adults
This study compares two ways to stop non-convulsive seizures in the ICU. It tests whether fast sedation in intensive care works better than giving higher-dose anti-seizure medicine through a vein.
AarhusAges 18–120 - NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05211661Recruiting
Diaphragm health during breathing machine support
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes when a person is on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand how to better support breathing and recovery.
AachenAges 18–75 - NCT04910841Recruiting
Testing a glucose-monitoring device in septic shock ICU
This trial checks whether a continuous glucose monitoring system (“CGM GUARDIAN 2”) can be used safely and effectively for people in the ICU who have septic shock and high blood sugar. It may help the medical team track blood sugar more easily while you receive insulin.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT04848090Enrolling by invitation
Genetic testing for newborns in the hospital intensive care unit
This study uses whole-genome sequencing (a DNA test that looks across the genome) for newborns in the intensive care unit when doctors suspect a genetic condition. It aims to help identify possible genetic causes of illness and improve understanding for families and clinicians.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 1 year - NCT03720860Recruiting
Study inflammatory signals in sudden kidney injury in ICU
This study looks at substances related to inflammation to better understand sudden kidney problems in people who are very sick in the ICU. It may help improve how kidney injury is predicted and treated after severe illness or major events.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT04670744Recruiting
Uses routine hospital records to find key care outcomes
This study looks at routinely collected anesthesia and intensive care information in hospital systems to find which signs and events best predict outcomes. It may help future patients by improving how care teams monitor and evaluate treatment.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges Up to 120 years - NCT05237258Recruiting
Compare palliative care approaches for people with high-risk AML
This study tests a specialized (targeted) palliative care program versus usual oncology care for people hospitalized with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to see if this palliative approach improves comfort, support, and care planning during intensive treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–120 - NCT06251713Recruiting
Fluid removal guided by VeXUS score after heart surgery
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
Bron, BronAges 18–85 - NCT06162247Recruiting
Registry study for heart patients in intensive care
This study tracks patients with sudden heart problems admitted to a special heart intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these conditions to improve future care.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06465121Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided IV placement for children with difficult veins
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.
ReimsAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07706244Recruiting
Does reducing pre-surgery anxiety help orthopedic patients recover better?
This study tests if a program to reduce anxiety before surgery (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) improves how patients feel one year after major orthopedic surgery like knee, hip, or spine procedures, compared to standard care.
Hualien City, Hualien CountyAges 20–100 - NCT06803745Recruiting
Comparing two radiation doses for leukemia transplant
This trial tests whether a lower or higher dose of total body irradiation works better for people with acute leukemia getting a stem cell transplant for the first time. It aims to find the safest and most effective radiation level to prepare your body for the transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT05904106RecruitingPhase 2
Venetoclax plus azacitidine versus stronger chemotherapy for AML
This Phase 2 trial compares two treatment approaches for people newly diagnosed with a specific type of AML (bone marrow cancer) that has an NPM1 mutation: venetoclax plus azacitidine versus intensive (strong) chemotherapy. It aims to see which plan works better and is safer for “fit” patients.
