- NCT06325293Recruiting
Macrolide vs. placebo for mycoplasma pneumonia in children

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07759583Recruiting
Breathing exercises for smog-related pneumonia
This study tests two breathing techniques—Buteyko breathing and incentive spirometry—to see which better improves oxygen levels, breathing difficulty, exercise tolerance, and mucus clearance in people with pneumonia caused by air pollution.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–40 - NCT05405491Recruiting
DNA test to guide antibiotic use for pneumonia in ICU patients
This study tests whether using a DNA test on lung fluid can help doctors choose better antibiotics for pneumonia in ICU patients with weakened immune systems. It may lead to more effective treatment and fewer side effects.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07326540RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new antibiotic for drug-resistant pneumonia in the hospital
This trial compares a new antibiotic (BV100 plus low-dose polymyxin B) against a standard treatment for pneumonia caused by a hard-to-treat bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii). If you have hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia and standard antibiotics aren't working, this study may offer a new option.
TbilisiAges 18–82 - NCT06841731RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new antibiotic for hospital-acquired pneumonia
This trial tests a new antibiotic called HRS-8427 for adults with bacterial pneumonia that started in the hospital or while on a ventilator. It may be an option if you need IV antibiotics and haven't already received long-term treatment for this infection.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07016152RecruitingPhase 1
A study of a Klebsiella vaccine for healthy adults
This trial tests a new two-part vaccine (CHO-V08) to prevent Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. It looks at safety and immune response in healthy adults aged 18 to 50.
TaipeiAges 18–50 - NCT04851015RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose TMP-SMX for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
This Phase 3 study tests whether low-dose trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (also called TMP-SMX) can treat Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in people with weakened immune systems. It may help improve treatment while reducing side effects compared with standard dosing.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–100 - NCT05123755RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new medicine in hospitalized pneumonia patients needing oxygen
This Phase 2 trial tests an investigational medicine (given in increasing doses) for hospitalized people with pneumonia who need supplemental oxygen. It aims to see if the medicine is safe and potentially helps the pneumonia process in the early hospital period.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05181696Recruiting
Study of chest X-ray severity scores in ICU COVID-19 pneumonia
This study reviews past chest X-rays from people who were hospitalized in the ICU for COVID-19 pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2. It aims to see how well a chest X-ray severity scoring system reflects how sick the lungs were.
OsijekAges 18–90 - NCT05688774Recruiting
Study of worsening community pneumonia in people with weaker immunity
This study follows how community-acquired pneumonia progresses in hospitalized patients who already have serious health problems or weakened immune systems. The goal is to better understand risk and changes over time, which may help guide future care for people like you.
BerlinAges 18–99 - NCT05952648Recruiting
Test for pneumonia in ICU using fast DNA testing
This study checks whether a fast “DNA test” can help diagnose hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia in very sick patients with sepsis. If the test is accurate, it may help doctors start the right treatment sooner.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06501599Recruiting
AI system for spotting COVID-19 lung changes on CT scans
This trial tests an artificial intelligence tool that helps doctors identify lung changes caused by viral pneumonia, like COVID-19, on CT scans. It may lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis for patients.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06601998Recruiting
Heart health after severe pneumonia
This study looks at how heart health changes in people who have recovered from severe pneumonia, including COVID-19. It compares survivors to healthy people and those with heart risk factors.
AlexandroupoliAges 18 years+ - NCT06921993Recruiting
Study: Using Ultrasound to Guide Antibiotic Use in Childhood Pneumonia
This study tests if lung ultrasound can help doctors decide whether to use antibiotics for children with pneumonia. If your child has signs of pneumonia but is stable enough for an ultrasound, this could help avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 3–10 - NCT06986148Recruiting
Comparing antibiotics for childhood pneumonia in clinics
This trial compares different antibiotic strategies for children with pneumonia who are being treated as outpatients. The goal is to find the best approach to treat the infection and help your child recover.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 1 year–5.9 years - NCT07099976Recruiting

Reducing breathing problems in NICU babies on ventilators
This study is testing a way to reduce the chance of a certain breathing problem (called NAV) in babies who need a breathing machine in the NICU. If your baby has been on the machine for two days or more, they may be able to join.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges birth–6 months - NCT02738645Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pneumonia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 260 recruiting pneumonia 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 pneumonia 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 pneumonia 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.
