Antibiotics for certain viral lung infections in hospitalized adults
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics affects recovery in adults hospitalized with moderately severe infections caused by specific viruses (influenza, parainfluenza, RSV, or hMPV). It may help show when antibiotics are helpful or unnecessary for viral airway illness.

New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–99 - NCT06679972Enrolling by invitation
Impact of pregnancy liver condition on baby's breathing
This study looks at how a pregnancy liver condition (intrahepatic cholestasis) affects the baby's breathing after birth. It compares newborns whose mothers had this condition (and took medication for it) with newborns whose mothers did not have any liver issues during pregnancy.
Bucharest, BucharestAges 1 hour–4 weeks - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06319274RecruitingPhase 2
Prostacyclin for lung infection patients on a ventilator
This study tests a medicine called prostacyclin (given through a vein) to see if it helps people on a breathing machine with a lung infection. The goal is to reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05427708Recruiting
Breathing training to reduce anxiety symptoms
This study tests whether specific respiratory (breathing) training can reduce anxiety symptoms and fear responses. It may help people who have several kinds of anxiety or trauma-related anxiety, especially if they are not on anxiety medicines or only stable on them.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06602934Recruiting
Pneumonia, heart health, and your body's germs
This study looks at how pneumonia affects the long-term health of your heart and lungs by studying the germs that live in your body. It may help doctors understand why some people get worse and how to better protect your heart after a serious infection.
AngersAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06554522RecruitingPhase 4
Testing CPAP for Premature Babies with Breathing Problems
This trial tests a breathing support method called CPAP for premature babies with breathing problems in Africa. It may help your baby get better oxygen and avoid more invasive treatments.
BanguiAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT06544928Enrolling by invitation
Home monitoring for COPD flare-ups after hospital discharge
This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–80 - NCT06536543Recruiting
Lung imaging to check over-inflation in ARDS patients lying on their stomach
This trial uses a special lung imaging belt (EIT) to see if the lungs are over-inflated in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS) when they lie on their stomach. It aims to help doctors adjust ventilator settings for better lung protection.
BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT06529913Recruiting
Metals, pollutants, and risk of allergies
This study looks at whether heavy metals, nanoparticles, and other pollutants in the environment increase the risk of allergic diseases like contact dermatitis. If you have a metal allergy or are a healthy adult, you may help researchers understand how these exposures affect your health.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06510972Recruiting
Eating versus fasting for ICU patients with breathing failure
This study looks at whether it's safe and helpful to let people with severe breathing problems in the ICU eat and drink normally instead of fasting. If you qualify, you may be assigned to either continue eating or to fast while doctors monitor your recovery.
BloisAges 18 years+ - NCT06479421Recruiting
AI study to personalize care for sudden breathing failure
This study is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help doctors choose the best treatment for people with sudden breathing failure. It compares patients who need breathing support to those who do not, to find patterns that improve care.
Seoul, GangnamAges 18 years+ - NCT06477302Recruiting
Sticking with breathing rehab for lung cancer
This trial looks at how well people with lung cancer stick with a respiratory rehabilitation program (breathing exercises and support). Researchers want to see if factors like your treatment stage or daily function affect your ability to keep up with rehab. It may help find ways to better support patients during recovery.

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.
