This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help prevent, diagnose, and triage respiratory diseases. It is open to adults without medical training who can follow a survey.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06912360Recruiting
CPAP support for severe breathing failure in Burkina Faso
This trial tests if CPAP, a breathing machine that keeps airways open, helps adults with severe breathing problems and low oxygen levels. It is for people in Burkina Faso who need extra oxygen to breathe well.
Bobo-Dioulasso, HouetAges 18 years+ - NCT04220463Recruiting
Hypnosis during noninvasive breathing support for ICU lung illness
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06897761Recruiting
A digital game to help children with bronchiectasis breathe better
This trial tests a fun interactive game and device to help children with bronchiectasis improve their breathing and lung health. It is designed for children who are stable and have not had recent infections or treatments.
IstanbulAges 7–18 - NCT06881927RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing anti-rejection meds in ICU for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether quickly reducing your anti-rejection medicines during a life-threatening ICU stay can help your kidneys recover and improve your overall outcome. It is for kidney transplant recipients with septic shock or severe breathing failure.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06876415Recruiting
Comparing two ways to wean patients off ECMO
This study compares two methods for removing patients from a breathing machine called ECMO. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06488300RecruitingPhase 2
Testing antiviral treatments for early RSV
This trial tests if antiviral medications can help adults with early respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) feel better faster. It is for people aged 18 to 64 who have had RSV symptoms for 4 days or less and have tested positive for the virus.
VientianeAges 18–64 - 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+ - NCT06849570Recruiting
Tailoring breathing support and muscle relaxants during prone positioning for severe lung injury
This trial tests two ways to adjust ventilator settings for patients with severe lung injury whose oxygen levels are very low. It aims to find out the best level of breathing support and whether giving muscle relaxants during prone positioning helps improve oxygen levels.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05689476Recruiting
Measuring diaphragm breathing signals during ICU ventilation
This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
Padova, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06841341Enrolling by invitation
Predicting breathing problems in ALS
This study uses ultrasound and electrical tests of breathing muscles and nerves to see if they can predict breathing failure in people with ALS. This could help doctors know when a patient might need breathing support.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18–80 - NCT06817889RecruitingPhase 2
Remdesivir for RSV in people with weak immune systems
This trial tests if remdesivir can safely treat RSV (a respiratory virus) in people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, CAR T-cell therapy, or are being treated for blood cancer. If you have a confirmed RSV infection in your nose or throat and are at moderate or high risk for complications, you may be able to join.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06819644RecruitingPhase 3
Adjusting oxygen therapy using a depth camera to measure lung volumes
This trial tests whether adjusting high flow oxygen therapy (which delivers warm, moist oxygen through the nose) based on a new, non-contact technology — a depth camera that measures lung volumes without touching you — can help improve breathing in people with low oxygen levels. It's for patients in respiratory distress who need oxygen but don't have chronic lung disease.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06814340RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP on ECMO for severe lung failure
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are already on a life-support machine called VV-ECMO. It tests whether adding a special breathing tube (CPAP) can help their lungs heal better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 922 recruiting respiratory 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 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 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.
