Recruiting studies
- NCT05922124RecruitingPhase 4
Testing two antibiotics against resistant lung and bloodstream infections

ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT06593717Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow in VV-ECMO patients
This study tests how doctors can monitor your blood flow and fluid needs while you are on VV-ECMO. It involves a simple maneuver where your legs are raised to see if your heart needs more fluid.

New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06494072RecruitingPhase 4
Short vs standard antibiotics for kids hospitalized with pneumonia
This trial compares a shorter course of antibiotics to the usual longer course for children hospitalized with uncomplicated bacterial pneumonia. The goal is to see if fewer days of antibiotics work just as well, which could reduce side effects and make treatment easier.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 3 months–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 - NCT06440759Recruiting
Filter Comparison for Septic Shock with Kidney Failure
This study compares two types of filters used during continuous kidney replacement therapy in patients with septic shock and severe acute kidney injury. The goal is to see which filter works better and is safer.
Kubang Kerian, KelantanAges 18 years+ - NCT06402318Recruiting
Quick breath test for COVID, flu, and RSV
This study tests a breathalyzer device that quickly detects COVID-19, flu, and RSV from your breath. If you are already being tested for these viruses, you may join to see if this new method works as well as the usual swab test.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT06364514Recruiting
Antibiotic course study for kids with complex medical needs
This study looks at how long children with complex medical conditions need to take antibiotics for pneumonia. The goal is to find a patient-centered approach to treatment that works best for each child.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–25 - NCT06294600RecruitingPhase 3
Clarithromycin to prevent sepsis in pneumonia
This study tests whether the antibiotic clarithromycin can prevent pneumonia from getting worse and turning into sepsis. It is for adults with community-acquired pneumonia who have certain signs of infection in their blood.
Athens, AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT06230614Recruiting
Study of diluent volume for inhaled colistin
This trial tests how the amount of liquid mixed with colistin affects treatment when inhaled by patients on ventilators. The goal is to find the best way to give this antibiotic therapy.
New Taipei CityAges 18–100 - NCT06201494Recruiting
Studying early symptoms of asthma in children
This study follows children and teens who are being checked for asthma for the first time. It aims to learn more about the early symptoms of asthma to improve diagnosis and treatment.
PragueAges 3–18 - NCT05591924Recruiting
Bioinformatics study in adults with very early severe ICU illness
This trial studies how early severe illness in the ICU can be understood and tracked using health data (bioinformatics/informatics). It may help improve care decisions for people who arrive to the ICU soon after an emergency department visit.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06164639Enrolling by invitation
Biomarkers and causes of lung injury from reflux
This study looks at why some people on breathing tubes develop lung damage from stomach acid getting into the lungs. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat this injury.
ShanghaiAges 18–99 - NCT06181656Recruiting
Pneumonia Vaccine Study for Esophageal and Liver Cancer Patients
This trial studies how well the pneumonia vaccine works in people with esophageal or liver cancer who have low white blood cell counts after chemoradiation. It aims to see if the vaccine can still protect them from infection.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06169514Recruiting
Medical oxygen systems and policy study
This study interviews experts in health systems and policy to understand how medical oxygen is managed in different contexts. It aims to improve access to oxygen for patients who need it.
Phnom PenhAges 18 years+ - NCT06106204Enrolling by invitation
