Recruiting studies
- NCT06733168Recruiting
Electric imaging to guide breathing machine settings for ARDS
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.

Testing a wearable device for COPD severity
This trial tests a wearable device (WearME) that tracks your breathing and activity to see how well it can measure COPD severity. It may help you and your doctor better understand your lung function at home.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–100 - NCT06757543Recruiting
Comparing video vs direct laryngoscopy for newborn intubation
This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube into newborn babies: using a video camera to see the airway versus the standard method of looking directly. It aims to find which technique is safer and more effective.

Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06772922Recruiting
Pulmonary and heart rehab program testing combined exercise
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
Campinas, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06775106Recruiting
Breath test to find lung infections faster
This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
Portland, OregonAges 18–120 - NCT06777758RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two sedatives for endoscopy procedures
This trial compares two sedative medications, Remimazolam and Propofol, to see which works better for upper GI endoscopy exams and treatments. The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for patients.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT06784739Recruiting
COVID-19 immunity study for hospital staff and patients
This study looks at how the immune system responds to COVID-19 in healthcare workers and infected patients at Danderyd Hospital. It aims to understand immunity and help guide future care.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06785571RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain relief study for ICU patients on a ventilator
This study tests a painkiller called nalbuphine for ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to see if it controls pain as well as or better than usual care, with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06788093Recruiting
Reducing antibiotic overuse with decision support
This trial tests a tool to help doctors decide when antibiotics are truly needed for lung infections like bronchitis or pneumonia. It may help you avoid unnecessary antibiotics and their side effects.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06788886Recruiting
Breathing practice for brain and mental health in cancer and other illnesses
This study tests a simple breathing practice to see if it can improve brain health and mental well-being for people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, or their caregivers. You will do light exercises and answer questionnaires, and some participants will also have an MRI brain scan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT06800586Recruiting
Air pollution and health: new early warning signs
This study looks for new early warning signs (biomarkers) of how air pollution affects lung and blood health. It is for people with COPD, lung cancer, or leukemia who have never smoked much, as well as for healthy hospital workers.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06801327Recruiting
Comparing two breathing therapies for bronchiectasis
This trial tests whether a new device called Simeox works better than standard chest physical therapy for people with bronchiectasis (widened airways that trap mucus). It compares how well each method clears mucus from the lungs.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 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 - NCT06819943Recruiting
Bed positioning to reduce pressure on the body
This study tests a special bed positioning technique (lateralization therapy) to see if it lowers pressure on the body and helps prevent bedsores in people on breathing machines. If you are on a ventilator and not yet ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help improve your comfort and skin health.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06826794Recruiting
VentilO study for heart surgery patients on ventilators
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing in patients who are on a ventilator right after heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust settings more accurately.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06829732Recruiting
Closed-loop oxygen control for ICU patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts the oxygen level in your breathing tube, aiming to keep your oxygen levels in a safe range with less need for manual changes. It may help if you are in the ICU, need a breathing machine, and have low blood oxygen despite receiving extra oxygen.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06840106Recruiting
Steam therapy for breathing issues after thyroid removal
This study tests whether breathing in steam can help with sore throat, cough, or other breathing problems that sometimes happen after a thyroid surgery. If you had a thyroid tumor removed and are having these symptoms, this treatment might help you feel better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–69 - NCT06840717Recruiting
Genetic links to type 2 asthma in kids
This study looks at how certain genes might be connected to type 2 asthma in children. It aims to find out which kids are more likely to have asthma so doctors can better treat it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–14 - NCT06844370Recruiting
Home vs hospital NIV care for MND
This study compares two ways of starting non-invasive ventilation (NIV) — a breathing machine — for people with motor neurone disease (MND). It aims to see if starting NIV at home is as safe and effective as starting it in the hospital.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 957 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.
