Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - NCT06410664Recruiting
Longer use of heat-moisture exchangers in the ICU
This study tests if keeping a device called a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) on a breathing tube for longer periods is safe and effective for ICU patients who need breathing support. It aims to reduce infections and complications.
Prague, Česká RepublikaAges 18 years+ - NCT06413459Recruiting
New markers for lung disease in cystic fibrosis
This study looks for biological markers (substances in your body) that can show if a lung infection with Mycobacterium abscessus is getting worse. It may help researchers develop better ways to track and treat the infection in people with cystic fibrosis.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06467864Recruiting
Predicting lung infection outcomes using early bacteria tests
This trial tests a new way to predict how well patients with a ventilator-associated lung infection will respond to treatment. It uses two bronchoscopy samples to track bacteria levels and guide better care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06476171Recruiting
Blood test study for heart surgery patients
This study looks at blood test results from people having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. It will help doctors understand and improve the use of these tests.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06477861Recruiting
Elastic power predicts ARDS severity and death risk
This study looks at a new way to predict how serious ARDS (a severe lung injury from pneumonia) is and the chance of death. Doctors will measure something called "elastic power" to see if it helps guide treatment for patients on a breathing machine.
Banhā, Al QalubeyahAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06506318Recruiting
Predicting drug-resistant liver abscess with deep learning
This trial uses a computer model based on deep learning to predict whether a bacterial liver abscess will be resistant to multiple antibiotics. It looks at your CT scan images to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06506617Recruiting
Testing pneumonia patients in the emergency room
This trial studies a new testing method (HCAP-Pcr) for people with pneumonia caught in the hospital or other healthcare settings. Doctors will use a special lung washing procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage to quickly identify the cause of the infection, which could help guide treatment faster.
Florence, Tuscany/ItalyAges 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+ - NCT06522347Recruiting
A lung infection registry study in Austria
This study creates a registry of patients in Austria who have a lung infection caused by tuberculosis or similar bacteria. By joining, you help researchers learn more about these infections and how to better treat them.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06538376Recruiting
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+ - NCT06570317Recruiting
Nintedanib to prevent lung inflammation from radiation
This trial tests a drug called nintedanib to see if it can prevent radiation-related lung inflammation (pneumonia) in people with lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It may help protect your lungs during radiation treatment.
Jincheng, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06577558RecruitingPhase 2
SR1375 for severe pneumonia not improving on antibiotics
This trial tests a new drug called SR1375 for adults with severe community-acquired pneumonia (a lung infection) who are not improving with standard antibiotics. It may help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18–85 - NCT06593756Recruiting
Heart-Lung Support and Fluid Response Study
This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
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.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT07530146RecruitingPhase 3
Sedation Medications for Older ICU Patients on Breathing Machines
This study compares two sedation medications—propofol alone versus propofol combined with ketamine—in older patients in the ICU who are on breathing machines due to infection or lung problems. The goal is to find which combination is safer and works better for keeping patients calm and comfortable.
CairoAges 65 years+ - NCT06602869Recruiting
Cellular markers in cystic fibrosis with a certain lung infection
This study looks at special blood markers in people with cystic fibrosis who have or haven't been treated for a lung infection caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria. The goal is to better understand the body's response, which could lead to better treatments.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06650137Recruiting
Using Diaphragm Ultrasound to Find the Cause of Breathing Trouble
This study tests if ultrasound of your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can help doctors find the cause of sudden breathing trouble. It may help patients who come to the emergency room with fast or difficult breathing and low oxygen levels.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT06662630Recruiting
Oscillatory ventilation study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–90 - NCT06666049Recruiting
Ultrasound test on the stomach before surgery in patients taking GLP-1 drugs
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.

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.
