Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06701682RecruitingPhase 2
Study of vilobelimab for moderate to severe ARDS
This trial tests a drug called vilobelimab for people with moderate or severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). It aims to find if this treatment can help improve breathing and outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06701669RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Paridiprubart for moderate to severe ARDS
This trial tests a new medicine called paridiprubart to see if it can help people with moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It may be an option if you have low oxygen levels and no known allergy to the drug.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06848218Recruiting
Music therapy during non-invasive breathing support for children
This study tests if music therapy can help children who are receiving breathing support (non-invasive ventilation) in the pediatric intensive care unit. It aims to reduce stress and discomfort during treatment.
MontpellierAges Up to 17 years - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT06341972Recruiting
Recovering after breathing support: a self-help program
This study tests a self-management program to help people who felt anxious after being on a breathing machine in the ICU. It aims to improve emotional recovery and quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06795971Recruiting
Comparing oxygen methods for hypoxemic respiratory failure
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT03422302Recruiting
CPAP or breath-holding to reduce lung tumor motion
This study looks at whether using a CPAP breathing device or deep breath-holding can keep lung tumors from moving during targeted radiation. The goal is to improve safety and accuracy of stereotactic body radiation for lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT06247397Recruiting
High-flow therapy for long-term oxygen users
This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.

High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Weaning Protocols for Respiratory Failure
This trial compares two different approaches to gradually reducing high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (a breathing support treatment delivered through your nose) in patients with acute respiratory failure. The goal is to find the best way to safely stop this treatment and transition you to breathing on your own.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06213168Recruiting
CPAP plus high-flow oxygen vs oxygen alone for breathing failure
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07269743Recruiting
Aerosol therapy for ARDS patients on ventilators
This trial tests whether delivering medication through a ventilator mask (aerosol therapy) can help adults with ARDS breathe better. It is designed for patients who are already on a breathing machine.
Lucknow, Uttar PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT04430790RecruitingPhase 3
Doxapram for apnea in very preterm babies on breathing support
This trial studies whether the medicine doxapram can better treat breathing pauses (apnea) in very preterm babies who are already on breathing support in the NICU. It aims to reduce the need for extra interventions and improve outcomes in this high-risk group.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting respiratory therapy 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 therapy 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 therapy 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.
