Testing a new lung imaging method in ICU patients
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07558538RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Inhaled Growth Factor Treatment for Severe Lung Failure
This early-stage trial tests whether an inhaled medication called recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rh-KGF-2) can help patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)—a serious condition where the lungs cannot deliver enough oxygen to the blood. The drug is designed to help repair lung tissue damage.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07579013Recruiting
Postural Drainage Techniques for Infants With Respiratory Distress
This study tests whether gentle positioning and chest techniques can help infants with respiratory distress syndrome (a breathing condition in newborns) breathe better and get more oxygen. Researchers will compare two approaches to see which helps most.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 1 month–2 months - NCT07607080Recruiting
Predicting Treatment Success for High-Flow Oxygen Support
This study helps doctors predict which patients receiving high-flow oxygen through a nasal tube will need additional breathing support. Researchers use blood tests and clinical information to identify who might need a ventilator, allowing earlier interventions if needed.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07651865Recruiting
Testing New Ways to Diagnose Respiratory Infections
This study tests new diagnostic tools to help quickly identify what's causing your respiratory infection. You'll provide samples (like nasal swabs) to help researchers understand how these new tests work in real patients.
Addis AbabaAges 6 months+ - NCT07658534RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ziresovir for high-risk adults with RSV
This trial tests an antiviral drug called Ziresovir in adults with RSV who have health conditions that make them high-risk, such as lung disease, heart disease, or a weakened immune system. It aims to see if the drug can reduce symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07665593Recruiting
AI breathing training after open heart surgery
This trial tests if an AI-assisted breathing exercise device can reduce pain, fatigue, and improve breathing in patients recovering from open heart surgery.
