Recruiting studies
- NCT03963622Recruiting
Test of careful breathing support for severe lung distress
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06074380RecruitingPhase 4
Surfactant therapy comparison for preterm infants
This trial compares a new method of giving surfactant (a substance that helps babies' lungs work better) to preterm infants who have breathing problems. The goal is to see if giving surfactant through a thin tube without a breathing tube works as well as the usual method.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Up to 2 days - NCT06521892Enrolling by invitation
Improving antibiotic sales in Hubei pharmacies
This study tests ways to improve how community pharmacies in Hubei Province handle antibiotic sales without a prescription. It aims to find better practices to prevent misuse.
Wuhan, HubeiAges Any age - NCT04524585Recruiting
Tested a muscle-relaxing treatment for severe low-oxygen breathing
This study tests whether partially relaxing the breathing-related muscles can help people with severe low oxygen while they are on a breathing machine. It may improve how well the lungs work by changing the way the muscles affect breathing.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07314905RecruitingPhase 3
Treatments for respiratory infections in community settings
This study is testing different treatments for people with respiratory infections like the flu who are not in the hospital. You may be able to join if you have a positive test, have symptoms like cough or fever, and start within a few days of feeling sick.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06297005Recruiting
E-cigarette use in pregnancy and child health study
This study looks at how using e-cigarettes during pregnancy might affect children's health. If you are pregnant, smoke or vape, or are a non-smoker, you may be able to join and help us learn more.
DublinAges 18–46 - NCT07154589Recruiting
AbClo device for open abdomen and breathing
This trial is testing a device called AbClo that helps close the abdomen after surgery. It looks at how the device affects breathing in patients who are in the ICU and on a ventilator.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03934957Recruiting
Study of health in people living in Hamburg
This study follows adults living in Hamburg to better understand health and health-related factors over time. You may help researchers learn what influences health in this age group.
HamburgAges 45–74 - NCT07501923Recruiting
How heat exposure day and night affects human health
This study looks at how exposure to heat during the day, night, or both affects the health of healthy young adults. It may help understand how heat impacts the body and find ways to protect people from heat-related risks.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–30 - NCT06579612Recruiting
Personalized exercise support for chronic lung disease
This trial tests whether one-on-one guidance from a sports-health specialist can improve your well-being if you have a chronic lung condition like asthma, COPD, or sleep apnea and are already taking part in a lung rehabilitation program.
BrestAges 18–80 - NCT04236726Recruiting
Quality of life study for people with chronic breathing failure
This study looks at how chronic respiratory failure affects day-to-day quality of life. It enrolls people who use breathing support at home or in care, and may help clinicians understand what support works best for patients’ daily living.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07542301Recruiting
Breathing Patterns in Premature Babies During Extubation
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
Newark, DelawareAges birth–6 months - NCT04460859Recruiting
Testing an electrical monitor in moderately severe lung failure
This trial tests a bedside breathing and lung-monitoring method that uses small electrodes on the chest. It is meant for people with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung inflammation problem) who are on a breathing machine, to help guide care.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05011877Recruiting
Study for sleep testing after sudden breathing trouble
This trial studies people who unexpectedly end up in the hospital or emergency room because of a sudden worsening in breathing that leads to too much carbon dioxide. It may help doctors understand whether sleep-related breathing issues contribute and how to better prevent repeat episodes.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06007547RecruitingPhase 4
Preventive surfactant therapy for preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a foam that helps lungs stay open) before breathing problems start can help very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) breathe better. It might reduce the need for a breathing tube.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Up to 15 minutes - NCT05540834RecruitingPhase 2
Testing blood-clot guidance for ICU patients with severe lung failure
This Phase 2 trial tests whether using a blood test that shows clotting strength and “clot breakdown time” can help guide treatment for people in the ICU with acute respiratory failure from infection. If you qualify, the team will use these blood results to decide on clot-related therapy and compare outcomes to standard care.
Liverpool, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT06026163RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Caffeine for breathing help in late preterm babies
This trial tests if giving caffeine to late preterm babies with breathing problems helps them need less breathing support. It could be an extra treatment alongside standard care.
Madinah, Medina RegionAges 1 day–3 days - NCT07442669Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for surfactant decision in premature babies
This trial uses a lung ultrasound score, a type of ultrasound, to decide when to give surfactant (a medicine that helps lungs work) to premature babies born between 27 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to reduce the need for more breathing support and avoid side effects.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 6 months–8 months - NCT05642832Recruiting
Test a breathing-device method to reduce breathing effort
This trial checks whether a special “through-flow” system can safely reduce how hard your body has to breathe when you are on a breathing machine. It is mainly a feasibility study, meaning the focus is on whether the approach can be done safely and effectively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06869447Recruiting
Better Breathing After Lung Cancer Treatment
This study looks at breathing exercises for people who have finished treatment for early-stage lung cancer. You'll be asked to give a blood sample at home and do breathing training to see if it helps your recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06244160Recruiting
High-flow oxygen therapy for spinal cord injury
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen therapy can help people with spinal cord injuries between the neck and upper back. It is designed for those admitted to a spinal injury ward within 24 to 48 hours of injury.
CardiffAges 18 years+ - NCT06641856Recruiting
Healthy volunteers study in Shanghai
This study looks at the viruses living in the respiratory tract of healthy people in Shanghai. It will help doctors understand how our immune system protects us.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–75 - NCT07518862Recruiting
Using heart rate to guide oxygen therapy settings
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (heart rate monitoring) to help doctors adjust the flow of oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula. It may help improve how well this breathing support works for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07326215Recruiting
A study of a device that removes carbon dioxide from the blood
This trial tests a device called PrismaLung+ that helps remove extra carbon dioxide from the blood of patients on breathing machines. It may help people whose lungs are struggling despite gentle ventilation settings.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory health?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 75 recruiting respiratory health 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 health 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 health 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.
