Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05903352RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized antibiotic duration for hospital pneumonia patients
This trial compares how long antibiotics should be given to people hospitalized with moderately severe community-acquired pneumonia. It uses your early improvement to see which antibiotic duration works best and safely.

Early treatment with ceftazidime-avibactam for serious infections
This study tests an antibiotic called ceftazidime-avibactam for people with serious infections like bloodstream infections or pneumonia that started in the hospital or from a breathing machine. It aims to start treatment quickly after identifying the bacteria.
Kuala LumpurAges Any age - NCT05987982Recruiting
Does mouth odor help prevent pneumonia from oral frailty?
This trial looks at whether checking your mouth odor can help prevent pneumonia in people who have weak oral health (called oral frailty). You'll get an oral assessment and be followed to see if it helps lower the risk of pneumonia.
TainanAges 50 years+ - NCT06092008Recruiting
New pneumonia tests for adults 65 and older
This study tests new ways to diagnose pneumonia faster and more accurately in older adults who come to the emergency room with breathing problems. The goal is to see if these new tests work better than the current methods.
Columbus, OhioAges 65 years+ - NCT06092554Recruiting
Probiotics to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests whether giving probiotics to patients on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) can help prevent pneumonia. It is for adults who are on a ventilator after a recent head injury, stroke, or brain bleed.
BrusselsAges 18–80 - NCT06114784Recruiting
Study of microbiome and severe pneumonia with breathing support
This study looks at how bacteria in your body (microbiome) affect how sick you get from severe pneumonia. It may help doctors find better ways to treat people with serious lung infections who need breathing support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06114888Recruiting
New diagnostic tests for children hospitalized with pneumonia
This study tests new ways to diagnose pneumonia in children who are hospitalized. It aims to find the best methods to quickly identify the cause of pneumonia, so your child can get the right treatment sooner.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06123650Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus therapy for swallowing after stroke
This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 49–65 - NCT06137196Recruiting
Lung function risks after severe pneumonia in AIDS patients
This study looks at why some people with AIDS who recover from severe pneumonia later have trouble breathing. Researchers want to find risk factors so they can help prevent lung damage.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06145828Recruiting
Testing a blood filter for severe pneumonia or sepsis in AIDS patients
This study tests a technique that filters harmful substances from the blood of people with AIDS who have severe pneumonia or septic shock. The goal is to see if this filter helps them recover better.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06229288RecruitingPhase 3
Pneumonia treatment: amoxicillin alone vs. with clavulanate for adults 65+
This trial compares two antibiotics for older adults hospitalized with pneumonia. It aims to see if amoxicillin alone works as well as amoxicillin combined with clavulanate, which might reduce side effects.
Saint-Nazaire, FranceAges 65 years+ - NCT06238297Recruiting
Testing early stopping of MRSA antibiotics for pneumonia
This trial tests whether a simple nasal swab can help doctors safely stop unnecessary MRSA antibiotics sooner in people with pneumonia. If the swab shows no MRSA, the antibiotic can be stopped early, which may reduce side effects and drug resistance.
BariAges 18 years+ - NCT06295120RecruitingPhase 4
Finding the best antibiotic course for pneumonia in adults
This trial is testing how many days of antibiotics are best for adults with pneumonia who are treated by their regular doctor (not in a hospital). The goal is to find the shortest effective treatment to reduce side effects and antibiotic resistance.
GistrupAges 18 years+ - NCT06296212RecruitingPhase 3
Testing TAD injection to protect the heart during pneumonia
This trial tests if a medicine called TAD® (glutathione injection) can help prevent heart injury in people hospitalized with pneumonia. It is for patients who also have heart risks or conditions, and takes place in the hospital.
Pisa, PIAges 18–80 - NCT06459856Recruiting
Balloon blowing with back tapping for pneumonia
This study tests if combining balloon blowing exercises with chest percussion (gentle tapping on your back) can help people with pneumonia breathe better. It aims to see if these simple treatments together work better than just one alone.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–40 - NCT06460610Recruiting
Breathing exercises for pneumonia recovery
This study compares two breathing exercise methods (blow bottle and Acapella) combined with diaphragmatic breathing to help people recover from pneumonia. The goal is to see which approach works better for clearing mucus and improving breathing.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06461884Recruiting
Percussion and breathing exercises for pneumonia recovery
This study tests whether combining chest percussion (gentle tapping on the chest) with deep breathing exercises helps clear mucus from the lungs in people aged 40-60 who have pneumonia. It may help you breathe easier and recover faster.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07206745Recruiting
Chinese and Western medicine for severe pneumonia from drug-resistant bacteria
This trial tests a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for adults with severe pneumonia caused by bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. It aims to see if this combined approach can improve treatment outcomes.

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.
