Recruiting studies
- NCT05696093RecruitingPhase 3
Cotrimoxazole for step-down treatment of ventilator pneumonia
This trial tests whether switching from an initial antibiotic to cotrimoxazole (a specific antibiotic combination) can work as well—or better—for ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. It aims to see if “de-escalating” antibiotics can control the infection while keeping vital signs stable.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05124977Recruiting
Antibiotic plan study for ventilator pneumonia in ICU
This trial tests an “antibiotic stewardship” approach—choosing and adjusting antibiotics in a smarter way—for a first episode of pneumonia in patients on a breathing machine. It may help ensure the right antibiotics are used at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary or overly broad treatment.
Clichy-sous-BoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07052604Recruiting
Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06720818Recruiting
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+ - NCT07026656Recruiting
Quick diagnosis of ventilator pneumonia in critically ill children
This study tests a new way to quickly diagnose pneumonia in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It uses information from the body and germs to find the right treatment faster.
CambridgeAges 1 month–16 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+ - NCT07004049RecruitingPhase 4
Testing combinations for resistant Gram-negative infections
This study tests different antibiotic combinations for severe infections caused by hard-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria (like Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter). The goal is to find the best treatment for bloodstream infections or pneumonia that started in the hospital.
Brisbane, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06996834Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods for pneumonia-related breathing failure
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT06966310Recruiting
Awake prone positioning for community acquired pneumonia with high-flow oxygen
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach (prone position) while awake can help people with pneumonia breathe better and avoid needing a breathing tube. It is for patients in the ICU or step-down unit who need high-flow oxygen therapy.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06966817Enrolling by invitation
Mouth care solutions for ventilator patients in the ICU
This study tests two different mouth-care solutions for patients on breathing machines, to see if they can prevent pneumonia and improve mouth health in intensive care.
AnkaraAges 18–90 - NCT06950294RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Inhaled nitric oxide for pneumonia patients on a ventilator
This study tests an inhaled gas (iNO300) given through your breathing tube to improve oxygen levels in critically ill patients with pneumonia. You may qualify if you are on a ventilator and have been diagnosed with pneumonia within the last 3 days.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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+ - NCT02514655Recruiting
Device to control breathing-tube cuff pressure to prevent pneumonia
This trial tests a simple device that helps keep the cuff pressure on a breathing tube at the right level. The goal is to reduce the risk of pneumonia that can happen in people on a ventilator.
ParisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06892951RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inhaled caspofungin for treating pneumocystis pneumonia
This trial tests a new inhaled medicine (caspofungin) added to standard treatment for Pneumocystis pneumonia, a serious lung infection. It may help fight the infection more effectively while you are already receiving oxygen and standard antibiotics.
OrléansAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06819462Recruiting
Inhaled colistin to prevent ventilator pneumonia in brain injury patients
This trial tests whether giving an inhaled antibiotic called colistin can prevent pneumonia in patients with brain injuries who are on ventilators. If effective, it could reduce lung infections and improve recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06301841Recruiting
Antibiotic choice for COPD with pneumonia in ICU
This trial is testing a new way to choose antibiotics for people with COPD who get pneumonia and need intensive care. The goal is to find the best treatment using a personalized approach.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06755814Recruiting
