Vaccine-like immune treatment to prevent lung infections in seniors
This Phase 2 study tests a site-specific immune “booster” in people age 65 and older to help improve natural immunity and reduce respiratory (lung/airway) infections. You may be eligible if you can consent, are in an eligible living situation, and are not currently using certain immune-suppressing medicines.
Burnaby, British ColumbiaAges 65 years+ - NCT07468006Recruiting
Comparing carbon dioxide measurements in critically ill children
This trial tests if a sticker on the skin can accurately measure carbon dioxide levels in the blood, reducing the need for needle sticks in children in the intensive care unit.
BrnoAges 1–18 - NCT06790875Recruiting
Comparing two ventilator settings for lung health in ARDS
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07457502Recruiting
Home environment and lung disease progression study
This study looks at whether things in your home might affect how quickly your lung disease gets worse. You and a matched group will be followed to see how your home environment impacts your lung health.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07457554Recruiting
Can respiratory quotient help ICU patients on ventilators?
This study looks at whether using a simple measurement called the respiratory quotient (a sign of how your body is using fuel) can help doctors make better decisions for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may lead to safer, more personalized care.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–85 - NCT05906030Recruiting
Ultrasound to study diaphragm function around surgery
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–100 - NCT07447804Recruiting
Diaphragm and Breathing Strength in Hemiplegia Patients
This study looks at how hemiplegia affects the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and your breathing strength. It aims to help guide rehabilitation after a stroke.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges 18–80 - NCT07447232Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. standard breathing test for lung disease
This trial compares a new ultrasound breathing test (spirometry) to the standard one. If you have a chronic lung condition like COPD or asthma, it could help see if the new method is as good as the old one.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT07449572RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of HT31-1 for healthy volunteers
This trial tests a new drug called HT31-1 to see if it's safe in healthy people. It looks at how the drug moves in your body and if it causes side effects. This is a first step before testing it in patients with ARDS (a serious lung condition).
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT07449715Recruiting
Breathing rate check for hospital patients
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 years+ - NCT06805409Recruiting
Ultrasound test for kidney risk in ARDS patients
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Créteil, Val de MarneAges 18–100 - NCT06550219Recruiting
Using a face mask breathing support in premature babies with breathing trouble
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
AlexandriaAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT07439848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells for severe lung injury from sepsis
This trial tests if adding stem cells or their growth liquid to standard sepsis treatment helps adults with severe breathing problems. It may improve recovery for those whose family agrees to the study.
Jakarta Pusat, DKI JakartaAges 40 years+ - NCT07437391Recruiting
L-carnitine for preterm babies with breathing problems
This trial tests whether giving L-carnitine, a nutrient that helps cells make energy, to premature newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can improve their health. It may help their bodies cope better in the NICU.
Muzaffargarh, Punjab ProvinceAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT07435155Recruiting
Voice and breathing test for speech problems after brain injury
This study uses voice recordings and breathing tests to better understand speech problems (dysarthria) that can happen after a brain injury. It may help improve how these problems are diagnosed and treated.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426718Recruiting
Breath test for airway inflammation in lung diseases and healthy people
This study is testing a simple breath test (Inflammacheck device) to see if it can measure airway inflammation in people with various lung conditions, including lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, and COPD, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases using your breath.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07429669Recruiting
Comparing shoulder nerve blocks for pain and breathing
This study compares two different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07426016Recruiting
Comparing two ways to give surfactant to premature babies
This study compares two methods—video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy—to give surfactant (a medicine that helps babies' lungs work better) to very premature infants. It aims to find which method is safer and easier for babies born at 28 weeks or earlier who need surfactant within the first 36 hours after birth.
Dallas, TexasAges birth–3 days - NCT07428694Recruiting
Detecting air leaks during breathing support
This trial tests a machine learning tool to detect if air is leaking while using a breathing machine at night. It may help people who use a non-invasive ventilator at home get better care.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06220825Recruiting
Breathing support practices in critically ill children
This trial looks at how doctors manage breathing support for children in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for kids who need help breathing.
GroningenAges Up to 18 years - NCT06684119Recruiting
Testing best breathing tube pressure for children on a ventilator
This trial uses a special imaging tool (EIT) to find the best air pressure in the breathing tube for children on a ventilator. It aims to improve lung function in children with a lung condition called PARDS.

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.
