Shanghai, PutuoAges 18 years+ - NCT04296071Recruiting
Testing blood markers after heart surgery in infants
This trial studies patterns in immune cells (neutrophils) in very young children who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce lung injury after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 1 year - NCT06367946Recruiting
Why ventilators can hurt older lungs
This study looks at how mechanical ventilation affects the lungs of elderly people. Researchers will study lung tissue and blood samples from patients having surgery to find ways to prevent lung injury.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT05704166RecruitingPhase 2
Pirfenidone to prevent lung injury after breast radiation
This trial tests whether pirfenidone, a medication, can prevent acute lung injury caused by radiation therapy in people with breast cancer. You may be randomly assigned to pirfenidone or a placebo (inactive pill) to see which better protects the lungs during and after radiation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07388680RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pirfenidone for radiation lung injury with or without immune pneumonia
This trial tests if pirfenidone capsules can help treat lung damage caused by radiation therapy, with or without immune-related pneumonia. It may be suitable for people with mild to moderate lung function impairment who have recently developed radiation lung injury.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT04484727Recruiting
Measure lung pressure and breathing in ventilated ICU patients
This study measures lung pressures and breathing mechanics during planned or emergency breathing machine (ventilator) treatment. It may help doctors better understand lung behavior in both healthy and breathing-distressed lungs to improve care.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07086755RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vadadustat treatment for lung injury from infection
This trial tests a pill called vadadustat for people with a serious lung condition called ARDS, which makes it hard to breathe. The drug may reduce inflammation and improve oxygen levels, helping patients recover without needing a breathing tube.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07595926Recruiting
Proper Height Measurement in Ventilator Patients with Lung Injury
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT03405779Recruiting
Ultrasound test to measure lung stress in ICU patients
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05642832Recruiting
Test a breathing-device method to reduce breathing effort
This trial checks whether a special “through-flow” system can safely reduce how hard your body has to breathe when you are on a breathing machine. It is mainly a feasibility study, meaning the focus is on whether the approach can be done safely and effectively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05857774Recruiting
Study breathing muscle changes in ICU patients on ventilation
This study looks at how the muscles used for breathing work and change in ICU patients who are placed on breathing machines, then follows outcomes after they leave the hospital. It may help doctors better predict recovery and long-term health after ventilation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06514729Recruiting
Comparing ventilation methods during lung lobe surgery
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine during surgery to remove a lung lobe. It aims to find which method works better for patients like you.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT06513949RecruitingPhase 2
Testing IC14 for ARDS on a ventilator
This trial tests a new treatment called IC14 for people in the hospital on a breathing machine for ARDS (a severe lung injury). The study aims to see if IC14, which blocks a protein involved in inflammation, can help the lungs heal faster.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06133777Recruiting
Breathing patterns and complications after lung surgery
This study looks at how the way you breathe during lung surgery might affect your recovery. It will help doctors understand if certain breathing patterns can predict complications after surgery.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06572280Recruiting
Non-invasive nerve stimulation for ARDS patients
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the phrenic nerve (the nerve that controls your diaphragm) to help you breathe on your own sooner. It is for adults with ARDS who have been on a breathing machine for less than two days.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT06542107Recruiting
Weaning from a breathing machine after brain injury
This study looks at the best way to help people with a recent brain injury come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to improve the weaning process and reduce time on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06853223RecruitingPhase 2
Immune drug to prevent lung transplant failure
This trial tests an immune-suppressing medicine to stop a serious complication called primary graft dysfunction that can happen soon after a lung transplant. It may help people who are already on the transplant waiting list and plan to receive a standard anti-rejection drug regimen.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06528418Recruiting
Breath test to find lung diseases
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–100 - NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06688422Recruiting
Using a breathing device during lung cancer treatment
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 61 recruiting lung injury 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 lung injury 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 lung injury 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.
