How radiation affects lung function in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how radiation therapy for breast cancer may affect your lungs over time. Researchers will measure lung function and see if problems develop, so they can better understand and protect patients.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07265583Recruiting
Predicting lung injury in premature babies
This study looks at premature babies to see if we can predict lung injury early. It may help doctors provide better care for babies born early or with low birth weight.
PaviaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
Canuelas, Buenos AiresAges 1 month–14 years - NCT07225257Recruiting
Recovering Physical Function After ICU Stay in Older Adults
This study looks at how to help older adults regain physical strength after a serious illness that required time in the ICU. It aims to find the best ways to help you recover daily activities like walking and moving around.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT06936618Recruiting
Electrical impedance guided ventilator settings for breathing failure
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07156669Recruiting
Safety and Performance of Novalung ECMO Kit and Xenios 2.0
This study is testing how well a special ECMO device (Novalung ultimate kit with Xenios 2.0) works for adults in the hospital and during ground transport. If you already need ECMO with this specific device, you may be able to join.
Erfurt, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07125079Recruiting
Studying immune cells and a new treatment for ARDS
This study looks at how the immune system responds in people with ARDS (a severe lung injury) and tests a new treatment called PIP-2 in the lab to see if it might help. It aims to better understand lung injury and find new ways to treat it.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–90 - NCT06967207Recruiting
Electrical imaging lung monitor for ARDS outcomes
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06203405Recruiting
Sedation guided by breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06750536Recruiting
Safety study of a new lung support device for small children
This trial is testing a new device (MiniLung Petite Kit) for babies and young children with severe lung or heart failure. The device helps oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide, giving the lungs and heart a chance to rest and heal.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Up to 8 months - NCT06526598Recruiting
Breathing support tailored to your effort in the ICU
This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06448988Enrolling by invitation
Lung function in two surgical positions
This study measures how well your lungs work while you are lying on your back versus in the side-lying park-bench position during brain or spine surgery. It aims to help doctors understand which position is easier for you to breathe in.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06236685Enrolling by invitation

This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring methods.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06164639Enrolling by invitation
Biomarkers and causes of lung injury from reflux
This study looks at why some people on breathing tubes develop lung damage from stomach acid getting into the lungs. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat this injury.
ShanghaiAges 18–99 - NCT05794087Recruiting
Study of lung inflammation after ozone exposure
This trial studies how immune cells in the lungs respond after ozone exposure, to better understand lung injury. It may help researchers learn what drives inflammation and what could protect the lungs in the future.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 18–40 - NCT05767671Recruiting
Breathing tube patients in ICU tested for lung inflammation treatment
This trial studies whether changing immune cells in the lungs (using a procedure called MiniBAL) can improve outcomes in adults who are critically ill and on a breathing tube. It may help doctors better manage acute lung injury by targeting inflammation early in the ICU stay.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 58 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.
