Breath and heart tests to study lung disease stiffness
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05026645Enrolling by invitation
After a chemical, biological, or nuclear disaster exposure
This trial studies how patients are medically managed after being exposed to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRNE) attack. It may help improve care for people who are treated after these rare disasters, using real medical information recorded by hospital staff.
College Park, MarylandAges Any age - NCT06474559Recruiting
Comparing two breathing tubes during urology surgery
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the lungs.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07149428Enrolling by invitation
Deep study of smell loss causes using brain scans
This study uses brain imaging and electrical recordings to understand the brain's role in smell loss from any cause—like COVID, sinus problems, or chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have any degree of smell loss lasting under a year.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06270797Recruiting
Pre-anesthesia imaging to assess your breathing passages
This study tests a new way to check your breathing passages using images taken before anesthesia. It aims to help doctors plan safer airways for surgery.
Kaohsiung City, Sanmin DistAges 18–85 - NCT07295158Recruiting
Comparing Two Anesthesia Gases for Gallbladder Surgery
This trial compares two different anesthesia gases (sevoflurane vs. desflurane) during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It measures how each gas affects the pressure on your lungs, to see which might be safer.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–65 - NCT07486869RecruitingPhase 2
Emapalumab study for MDA5-related lung disease
This trial tests if emapalumab can help people with a serious lung condition linked to MDA5 antibodies. It may be an option for those with worsening breathing despite other treatments.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07628049RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RSV and hMPV combination vaccine study for adults
This study tests a new vaccine that may protect against two common viruses that cause breathing problems, RSV and hMPV. It is for healthy younger adults (18-49) and older adults (60-80) to see if the vaccine is safe and works well.
Lenexa, KansasAges 18–80 - NCT07780331Recruiting
Virtual reality and games to reduce fear in children using inhalers
This study tests whether using virtual reality glasses or playing games on a tablet can help reduce fear and anxiety in young children (aged 4-6) when they need to take medication through an inhaler or nebulizer. It aims to see if these distractions make the experience more comfortable.
Balıkesir, BalıkesirAges 4–6 - NCT07283497RecruitingPhase 4
Itraconazole for bronchiectasis with airway mold growth
This Mayo Clinic study tests whether the oral antifungal drug itraconazole can help people with bronchiectasis who have mold growing in their airways. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms and reduces mold in the lungs.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07532941RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping antibiotics early versus completing the full course
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics to children: stopping when symptoms feel better versus finishing all the prescribed doses. Researchers want to see if stopping early is safe and works just as well, which could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 1–17 - NCT05801224Recruiting
Vascular ARDS recruitment after inhaled nitric oxide
This study tests whether giving nitric oxide gas through a breathing tube helps people with a lung condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) recover and leave the intensive care unit sooner. It may help some patients with mild-to-moderate cases who need a ventilator and a central line.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT07764237RecruitingPhase 1
mRNA vaccine for older adults to prevent RSV and hMPV
This trial tests a new mRNA vaccine designed to protect older adults against two common respiratory viruses, RSV and hMPV. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and creates a good immune response.
Québec, QuebecAges 60 years+ - NCT07552025Recruiting
Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 7 months - NCT07322133RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood pressure medicines for newborns with lung hypertension
This trial compares two medicines (dopamine and norepinephrine) to see which works better for raising blood pressure in newborns who have both low blood pressure and high blood pressure in the lungs. Both medicines are given through a vein to help stabilize your baby's blood pressure.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07740382Recruiting
Pain block comparison for recovery after liver surgery
This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks used during liver surgery to see which one helps you breathe better and recover more comfortably after the operation.
Alexandria, Sbein-ElkomAges 18–75 - NCT05223192Recruiting
Testing music to improve breathing and brain oxygen in preemies
This study looks at whether planned music sessions can help preterm babies breathe more steadily and improve oxygen reaching the brain. It may help staff learn how to use music therapy safely for newborns in the NICU.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–9 months - NCT07420530RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise and breathing study for young adults with vocal cord issues
This study looks at how the vocal cords move during exercise in young adults who have trouble breathing while active. It may help researchers understand why this happens and how to better diagnose and treat it.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 18–26 - NCT07761468Enrolling by invitation
Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 963 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.
