Infection-fighting cells in severe lung injury
This study looks at a type of immune cell (MAIT cell) in patients with severe lung problems caused by infections, pancreatitis, head injury, burns, or major surgery. It aims to understand how these cells change during illness, which may lead to better treatments.
ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT06743529Recruiting
Immediate or watchful waiting for antibiotics in possible pneumonia
This trial compares starting antibiotics right away versus waiting for more test results in people on a breathing machine who may have pneumonia. The goal is to find out which approach works better without causing harm.
Angers, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06755814Recruiting
Registry for pneumonia in patients with weakened immune systems
This registry study collects information from patients hospitalized with pneumonia who also have a weakened immune system. The goal is to better understand how to treat and manage pneumonia in people like you.
Milan, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06808074RecruitingPhase 4
Inhaled amikacin to prevent pneumonia in cirrhosis patients on ventilators
This trial tests whether inhaling an antibiotic called amikacin can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are on a breathing machine. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with liver issues and needs a ventilator, this study may help reduce the risk of a serious lung infection.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18 years+ - NCT06834971Recruiting
Inhaled colistin to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests if inhaling a medication called colistin can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection) in patients who are on a breathing machine. It aims to reduce the risk for those at high risk of getting an infection from drug-resistant bacteria.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06835842Recruiting
Rib mobilization for pneumonia patients on a ventilator
This study tests whether a gentle rib movement technique (called rib mobilization) can help people with pneumonia who are on a breathing machine get ready to breathe on their own. It aims to see if this therapy makes it easier to wean off the ventilator.
CairoAges 40–50 - NCT06890676Recruiting
Dental care in nursing homes to prevent infections and improve health
This study tests whether bringing dental care to nursing home residents can reduce mouth infections, pneumonia, and help control blood sugar in people with diabetes. If you live in a nursing home and are 60 or older, you may be able to join.
Jefferson City, MissouriAges 60–100 - NCT06892197RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two steroids for severe pneumonia
This trial compares two common steroid medicines, hydrocortisone and prednisolone, to see which works better for people with severe community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to find the best treatment to help you recover faster.
Rønne, BornholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06916481Recruiting
Pneumonia subtypes based on lung bacteria
This study looks at the germs in your lungs to understand why some people's pneumonia doesn't get better with standard antibiotics. If you are hospitalized with pneumonia and have just started treatment, you may be asked to provide a sputum sample so researchers can study your lung microbiome.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT06949904RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Melatonin as an add-on therapy for childhood pneumonia
This trial tests whether adding melatonin to standard pneumonia treatment helps children recover faster. It is for children aged 1 month to 12 years with pneumonia or severe pneumonia.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pneumonia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 261 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.
