Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 year–5.9 years - NCT05722938RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Trimodulin for severe pneumonia on breathing support
This trial tests an investigational medicine called Trimodulin (BT588) for people with severe pneumonia who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if it helps them recover faster.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02735707RecruitingPhase 3
Adaptive trial for severe pneumonia care in intensive care
This study tests ways to improve treatment for adults with severe pneumonia that lands them in the ICU, adjusting the plan as results come in. It may help your care team find better treatments for lung infection and breathing/heart support needs.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06495021Recruiting
Osteopathic manipulation for newly diagnosed respiratory illness in older adults
This study tests whether osteopathic manipulation (a gentle hands-on treatment) helps older adults recover from common respiratory illnesses like bronchitis or pneumonia when added to regular care. It may be a good option for you if you're 65 or older and have just been diagnosed with a respiratory infection.
Bloomsburg, PennsylvaniaAges 65–100 - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges birth–20 years - NCT05471908Recruiting
Compare automatic versus as-needed follow-up after common infections
This study compares two ways of scheduling a check-up after a child is hospitalized: an automatic visit or a visit only if needed (“as-needed”). It may help families and clinicians see which follow-up approach works best after illnesses like pneumonia, stomach flu (gastroenteritis), skin infections, or urinary tract infections.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06521502Recruiting
Studying inflammation in the heart and lungs in the ICU
This study collects blood samples from people in the ICU with sudden heart or lung problems caused by inflammation. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07322146Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Shorter antibiotics for children with common infections
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.

What taking part in a pneumonia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
