Below are recruiting respiratory distress syndrome clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 200 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05075161RecruitingPhase 3
Pirfenidone to help prevent lung scarring in ARDS
This Phase 3 trial tests whether pirfenidone can prevent or reduce lung scarring (fibrosis) in adults with ARDS who are within about a week of their illness starting. It may help by lowering harmful inflammation and the body’s scarring response.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT04524091Recruiting
Predict breathing effort response to higher ventilator pressure
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
San Martín, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT04369599Enrolling by invitation
Test chest vibration during ventilation for severe lung failure
This study looks at whether a special chest “vest” and related lung measurements can improve breathing in people with sudden severe lung failure who need a breathing machine. You may be eligible if you have ARDS and can safely use the vest during mechanical ventilation.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04270045Recruiting
Breathing test in babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
This trial studies a breathing measurement test (forced oscillometry) in babies who were born early and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a long-term lung condition. It may help doctors better understand how babies’ lungs are working and guide future care.
Kansas City, MissouriAges Any age - NCT04221737Recruiting
Early breathing support for ARDS using a pressure release ventilator
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18–80 - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT07513051Recruiting
Breathing Support and Diaphragm Movement in Premature Newborns
This study watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
CréteilAges 3 days–2 months - NCT05925075Enrolling by invitation
Lung ultrasound check for breathing problems in very premature babies
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory distress syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 200 recruiting respiratory distress syndrome 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 respiratory distress syndrome 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 respiratory distress syndrome 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.
