Recruiting studies
- NCT06301841Recruiting
Antibiotic choice for COPD with pneumonia in ICU
This trial is testing a new way to choose antibiotics for people with COPD who get pneumonia and need intensive care. The goal is to find the best treatment using a personalized approach.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT07200817Recruiting
Blood markers to predict outcome in sepsis patients
This study looks at simple blood tests (like levels of certain white blood cells and a protein called procalcitonin) to see if they can predict how well people with sepsis will do in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand your infection better.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06969443Recruiting
Studying rehab practices in the intensive care unit
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06821386Recruiting
Genetic testing for seriously ill infants in intensive care
This study offers genetic testing for infants under 18 months who are in intensive care with certain health problems that may be genetic. The goal is to find a genetic cause quickly, which could guide care and treatment.
TaipeiAges Up to 1.5 years - NCT04392401Recruiting
Study immune changes in adults during ICU stay for COVID-19
This study looks at how your immune system responds while you’re in the intensive care unit (ICU) for COVID-19. Researchers will collect samples early in the ICU stay to better understand immune changes during the illness.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07170527Recruiting
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+ - NCT06526533RecruitingPhase 3
Red blood cell transfusion thresholds for ECMO patients
This trial is testing whether a higher or lower threshold for red blood cell transfusions is better for people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine). It aims to find the safest way to manage transfusions during ECMO treatment.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06694740RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Interferon gamma for immune recovery in the ICU
This trial tests if a drug called interferon gamma can help boost the immune system of patients in the ICU who are fighting serious infections. It is for adults who are on a breathing machine and have low immune function.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06081205Recruiting
Heart disease patients in intensive care study
This trial observes patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with acute heart or blood vessel problems. It aims to learn more about their conditions and treatments.
Ioannina, EpirusAges Any age - NCT07390786Recruiting
Family support program after ICU stay
This study tests a collaborative care program for family members of ICU recovery patients, designed to improve mental health support after a loved one's hospitalization.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07483710Recruiting
CT scan muscle test in ICU for septic shock
This study looks at whether a CT scan of the lower back muscle, taken when you first arrive in the intensive care unit for septic shock, can help predict recovery three months later. It may help doctors better understand how muscle health affects survival.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07137143Recruiting
Warming the ICU room after abdominal surgery
This study tests how warming the intensive care room after your abdominal surgery affects your recovery. It includes patients who are in the ICU after planned surgery and have no major health problems that affect body temperature.
Adana, YüreğirAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06897774Recruiting
Testing nerve tap to protect breathing muscle on ventilator
This study tests whether a gentle electrical tap on a nerve near your collarbone (the phrenic nerve) can keep your diaphragm—the main muscle you use to breathe—from getting weak while you're on a ventilator. The goal is to prevent muscle loss and help you breathe better later.
Istanbul, BakirkoyAges 18–80 - NCT07189091RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing IV fluids in ICU patients
This trial tests if lowering the amount of salt water (sodium chloride) given as maintenance fluids or 'fluid creep' can help critically ill adults in the ICU recover better. It compares two ways of managing daily fluids to see which is safer and more effective.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07068022Recruiting
Organ function score for pregnant and new mothers in ICU
This study is testing a new way to measure how well your organs are working if you are pregnant or have recently given birth and need care in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to improve monitoring and treatment for mothers in critical care.
Avellaneda, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07062744Recruiting
Swan-Ganz catheter for cardiogenic shock after heart attack
This study tests whether a special catheter (Swan-Ganz) placed in the heart's blood vessels helps doctors better manage fluids and medications for people in cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. It aims to improve blood flow to vital organs.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT06960642Recruiting
Dosage of Early Rehab for ICU Patients
This trial tests different amounts of early physical therapy for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to find out how much rehabilitation is best for recovery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07779395Recruiting
Artificial intelligence for pressure injury prevention in intensive care
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in an intensive care unit. The AI may help nurses provide better care to reduce these injuries.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06429332RecruitingPhase 4
Care bundle study for brain bleed on CT scan
This trial is testing a set of standard care steps (a 'care bundle') for people who have a sudden brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) that shows up on a CT scan. It aims to see if this bundle improves recovery and outcomes.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06624540Recruiting
Reducing pneumonia in ICU patients through evidence-based nursing
This trial tests whether teaching nurses proven methods can lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from breathing machines) in intensive care. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT07439380Recruiting
Group care for high blood pressure and diabetes in Nepal
This trial tests whether group-based care can help people manage high blood pressure or diabetes better than standard care. If you live in one of the study areas in Nepal and have high blood pressure or diabetes, you may be able to join.
DhulikhelAges 18 years+ - NCT03246334Recruiting
Tracking long-term effects of ICU care in patients
This study follows people who have stayed in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand long-term effects of ICU treatment. It may help improve future care plans by identifying problems that last after leaving the ICU.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intensive care?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 416 recruiting intensive care 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 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 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.
