This study tests whether a self-guidance approach for breathing can improve radiotherapy sessions when the tumor moves during breathing and is treated with an MRI-guided machine. It may help make treatments more accurate and easier to follow during each session.
Dijon, Côte d'OrAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05816954Recruiting
Imaging test to predict lung injury risk in ARDS
This study looks at scan images to better predict the risk of a serious lung complication (barotrauma) in people with ARDS. It may help doctors choose safer treatment strategies in the ICU.
Catanzaro, CalabriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05822869Recruiting
Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05844579Recruiting
Early breathing and mobilization support for ICU lung injury
This study looks at whether starting early movement and breathing-related care while in the ICU helps people with ARDS (a serious lung condition). You may be eligible if you recently needed a breathing machine and are expected to need it for a bit longer.
TokyoAges 16 years+ - NCT05847634Recruiting
Testing how deep sedation affects blood flow in ARDS
This study looks at whether giving deep sedation (and sometimes muscle-paralyzing medicines) changes blood flow and oxygen delivery in the brain during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is a pilot study, meaning it mainly aims to understand safety and gather early information.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT05849779RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing sevoflurane to help prevent ARDS in ICU patients
This Phase 3 trial tests whether inhaled sevoflurane (a breathing anesthetic) can help prevent ARDS, a serious lung injury, in high-risk ICU patients who need sedation. It aims to reduce the chance of developing ARDS by using this medication during the early period on a breathing machine.
Clermont-Ferrand, Not Required For This CountryAges 18 years+ - NCT05855317Recruiting
Tests blood marker link to lung blood clots in ARDS
This study looks at a blood marker (EV-TF) to see whether it helps predict pulmonary embolism—blood clots in the lungs—in people with ARDS who are in the ICU. Results may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05860387Recruiting
Testing faster diagnosis of serious lung fungal infection
This study aims to detect invasive lung aspergillosis earlier by testing samples from your lungs and measuring specific lab markers. It may help doctors start the right antifungal treatment sooner when the infection is suspected.
Havířov, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05883137Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen during intubation in the ICU
This trial looks at using a special, fast-flow oxygen device through the nose during intubation in critically ill adults. It may help keep oxygen levels safer while a breathing tube is placed.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18–100 - NCT05892549Recruiting
Phone-based monitoring to detect worsening COVID-19 early
This study tests whether a phone app that listens to your voice and breathing can spot signs your COVID-19 is getting worse sooner. If you qualify, you’ll use the COVOICE app on your mobile phone for monitoring.
Saint-MandéAges 18 years+ - NCT05898269Recruiting
Predicting fluid needs while lying face down in ARDS
This study tests a way to predict whether you will benefit from a fluid bolus (a small amount of IV fluid) while you are lying face down for ARDS. It uses continuous heart monitoring to guide or evaluate fluid decisions and may help clinicians avoid too much or too little fluid.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05908227Recruiting
Testing nasal high-flow settings in stable preterm babies
This study tests how different nasal high-flow “flow strength” settings affect breathing stability in preterm infants. It may help clinicians choose settings that keep heart rate and breathing steadier.
Mainz, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 5 months–7 months - NCT05922969Recruiting
Testing low PEEP breathing steps in ARDS care
This trial tests the safety of using lower PEEP breathing settings during care for ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support settings for people on a breathing machine.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05928052Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to help ARDS patients get off the ventilator
This study tests whether stimulating nerves in the spine can help people with severe lung injury (ARDS) breathe without a ventilator sooner. It may help shorten the time you need a breathing machine in the ICU.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05945043Recruiting
Study breathing signals during fluid drain in pleural effusion
This trial looks at how a breathing control system (called neural respiratory drive) changes when doctors remove lung lining fluid using a thoracocentesis, chest drain, or an indwelling pleural catheter. It may help improve how safe breathing measurements are taken during these common procedures.
London, LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05960929RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing support for premature babies with lung distress
This Phase 3 trial tests whether InfasurfAero™ (a type of surfactant given as aerosol) works better than a sham treatment in preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). It aims to improve breathing in the first hours of life for babies who need CPAP.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 7 months–8 months - NCT05973201Recruiting
Virtual reality to ease anxiety and pain during lung scope
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can reduce anxiety and pain and shorten the time during a non-emergency breathing tube/airway procedure in the ICU. If you’re eligible, you may use VR during your first bronchoscopy during this hospital stay.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05990348Recruiting
Comparing two breathing support methods for weaning from ventilator
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05993364Recruiting
EFA treatment for brain injury recovery
This trial tests a treatment called EFA for people recovering from a brain injury (from trauma or stroke). It aims to help patients who are still in the early stages of recovery and can breathe on their own during the day.
Rovato, BSAges 18 years+ - NCT06000761Recruiting
Mouth care with human milk for premature babies
This trial is testing whether giving gentle mouth care with human milk to very premature babies in the NICU can help their health. It focuses on babies born early and with low birth weight whose mothers can provide milk.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 1 hour–3 days - NCT06001645Recruiting
Lung biomarkers and air leaks in severe lung injury
This study looks for markers in the blood and signs of air trapped in the lung tissue of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It uses CT scans to understand why air leaks happen and if certain lab tests can predict them.
CagliariAges 18 years+ - NCT06007547RecruitingPhase 4
Preventive surfactant therapy for preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a foam that helps lungs stay open) before breathing problems start can help very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) breathe better. It might reduce the need for a breathing tube.
