This study tests a medication called OM 85 that may help prevent respiratory infections (like pneumonia) in older adults living in nursing homes. If you are 75 or older and have had infections recently, this trial could be a way to stay healthier.
Roma, RMAges 75 years+ - NCT06658535RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NanO2 for mild breathing problems
This trial tests an experimental drug called NanO2 for people with mild respiratory distress who need a small amount of extra oxygen. The goal is to see if it can help improve oxygen levels.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06669312Recruiting
Study on a model for ICU patients on high-flow oxygen
This study is testing an existing model (BREF) to see how well it helps doctors make decisions for patients on high-flow oxygen in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for people needing extra breathing support.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06671015Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods after a breathing tube is removed in people with heart failure
This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06673225Recruiting
INSPIRE respiratory health program in Botucatu
This study tests a respiratory health program for adults with breathing symptoms and a history of smoking. It aims to see if the program improves lung health and quality of life.
Botucatu, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06690801Recruiting
Nitric oxide breathing gas for children with lung failure
This trial tests whether adding a breathing gas called nitric oxide to standard care helps children with severe lung failure (ARDS) recover faster. It is for children on a breathing machine who still have low oxygen levels.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–21 years - NCT06691971Recruiting
Testing a device that detects wheezing in asthma attacks
This study is testing a device called AeviceMD that listens for wheezing—a whistling sound when breathing—to help doctors quickly spot asthma attacks. If you or your child is in the emergency room with a sudden asthma flare-up, you may be able to join.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 3 years+ - NCT06715228Recruiting
Breathing exercise for sleep apnea
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program (called Shitali) to see if it helps people with mild or moderate sleep apnea who are not obese. If you qualify, you'll learn a gentle therapy that may improve your sleep without machines or medicine.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 35–55 - NCT06720818Recruiting
Infection-fighting cells in severe lung injury
This study looks at a type of immune cell (MAIT cell) in patients with severe lung problems caused by infections, pancreatitis, head injury, burns, or major surgery. It aims to understand how these cells change during illness, which may lead to better treatments.
ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT06726226Recruiting
Extremely preterm infant lung health study
This study follows the breathing and lung health of very early preterm babies (born before 29 weeks) for two years. It helps doctors understand and improve long-term respiratory care for these tiny infants.
