Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05536219Recruiting
Study how autoantibodies affect virus levels in severe lung infections
This study measures blood immune “autoantibodies” that may affect how much virus is in the body during severe respiratory infections. It may help doctors understand which patients are more likely to have higher virus levels and could guide future treatment choices.
Bron, RhoneAges Any age - NCT06292299Recruiting
Breathing monitor study for children with sleep or breathing issues
This study looks at how well a new breathing monitor works for children with sleep problems, breathing pauses in newborns, or epilepsy. It may help doctors better understand breathing patterns without extra needles or blood tests.
Glasgow, Glasgow CityAges 1 minute–16 years - NCT06282718Recruiting
Observational study of respiratory infections in primary care
This study tracks how patients with respiratory infections (like bronchitis, sore throats, or COVID-19) are treated in family doctor offices across Europe. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care. You may be able to join if you have a cough, sore throat, or other symptoms that suggest a respiratory infection, and you go to a participating clinic.
AntwerpAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05550298Recruiting
Study of virus infections after pediatric transplants
This study looks at how respiratory viruses behave and how the body responds in children who are about to receive, or have recently received, a transplant. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat viral infections in transplant patients by studying blood samples and test results.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06201494Recruiting
Studying early symptoms of asthma in children
This study follows children and teens who are being checked for asthma for the first time. It aims to learn more about the early symptoms of asthma to improve diagnosis and treatment.
PragueAges 3–18 - NCT03736707Recruiting
Testing two breathing machines in very preterm babies
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 minute–1 hour - NCT06133777Recruiting
Breathing patterns and complications after lung surgery
This study looks at how the way you breathe during lung surgery might affect your recovery. It will help doctors understand if certain breathing patterns can predict complications after surgery.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05505110RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vaginal seeding to change a baby’s early gut microbes
This early-phase study looks at whether swabbing a mother’s vagina during a planned C-section (“vaginal seeding”) can help shape a newborn’s early respiratory and gut microbes. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and may influence early-life breathing health.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–40 - NCT06068647Recruiting
Ultrasound and breathing tests for lung disease patients
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06019949Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to improve breathing after spinal cord injury
This trial is testing if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve breathing in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may be a good option if your injury is above the T5 level and you have reduced lung function.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06014138RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Volatile sedation study for ARDS patients
This trial is comparing a new type of inhaled sedative (volatile sedation) to usual IV sedatives for people with ARDS who are on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to see if it can help patients breathe better and recover more quickly.
London, LondonAges 17 years+ - NCT05947955RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for infection-related lung failure in adults
This Phase 2 trial tests Rhu-pGSN in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by an infection. If you qualify, the study may help determine whether the drug improves outcomes in this short-term, life-threatening lung condition.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05856136RecruitingPhase 4
Study how opioid exposure affects diaphragm muscle function
This study looks at whether receiving opioids for pain during lower-leg surgery changes how well the diaphragm muscle (the main breathing muscle) works afterward. It compares breathing muscle function in people who do and do not have certain lung conditions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05820776Recruiting
Tele-rehabilitation for stable breathing problems
This observational study looks at how tele-rehabilitation affects people with stable chronic breathing problems, especially if breathing limits their activity. It may help your care team understand what kinds of support work best when symptoms are steady.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05787834Recruiting

Study drug for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests GEn-1124 to see if it can improve outcomes in people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). You may be eligible if the study drug can be started very soon after ARDS is diagnosed and if you meet the safety and health requirements.

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.
