Recruiting studies
- NCT04912960Recruiting
PEEP breathing support for adults with acute lung failure
This trial studies whether a specific breathing setting called PEEP can help adults whose lungs are failing and who need a breathing machine. Doctors will compare outcomes in patients who fit this critical illness pattern and are safe for the required positioning and ventilator settings.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT05126589Recruiting
COVID-19 respiratory sample testing using virus genetic clues
This study looks at respiratory samples from adults after COVID-19 to better understand what viruses may be present and how they change over time. If you live in Hong Kong and can consent, you may be able to help researchers learn from your samples and symptoms.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05347563Recruiting
Using a chest sensor to improve ventilation in sick children
This trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
Bron, RhoneAges birth–18 years - NCT04099082Recruiting
Predicting lung scarring after a specific viral infection
This study looks at how your immune response to a particular virus (PIV) might predict future lung scarring called bronchiolitis obliterans. It may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk after a stem cell transplant.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05739617Recruiting
Breathing and sleep training for people with sleep apnea
This trial tests a comprehensive breathing and respiratory exercise program for newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help by improving sleep breathing and reducing apnea-related symptoms. You may be eligible if you recently learned you have OSA and meet age and health criteria.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–65 - NCT07666438Recruiting
Lung infections in children with chronic lung disease of prematurity
This study looks at children born very early who have chronic lung disease (BPD) and get a lung infection. Doctors want to learn more about how these infections affect breathing and health over time.
Bologna, BolognaAges 4 weeks–7 years - NCT07697482Recruiting
Breathing and relaxation training for leg swelling
This study tests whether combining breathing and relaxation exercises with standard care can help reduce leg swelling and improve how well you walk. It is for women who have had lymphedema in their legs for at least 3 months.
AdanaAges 18–65 - NCT02498587Recruiting
Study of severe breathing illness over a short period
This study looks at people who recently had fever and cough along with trouble breathing, to better understand severe acute respiratory illness. By joining, you may help researchers identify patterns that could improve recognition and care.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges Any age - NCT06754605RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new RSV vaccine for safety and immune response
This trial tests a new RSV vaccine in two phases. First, it will be given to healthy adults 18 and older to check safety. Then, it will be studied in adults 50 and older, including those with stable health conditions, to see if it helps protect against RSV, a common virus that can cause serious breathing problems in older people.
Langfang, HebeiAges 18–120 - NCT06881056Recruiting
Aerosol interferon for RSV pneumonia in toddlers
This study tests an inhaled form of peginterferon alpha-2b for children aged 1 to 3 years who have pneumonia caused by RSV. The goal is to see if this treatment helps them recover faster.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 1–3 - NCT06282718Recruiting
Observational study of respiratory infections in primary care
This study tracks how patients with respiratory infections (like bronchitis, sore throats, or COVID-19) are treated in family doctor offices across Europe. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care. You may be able to join if you have a cough, sore throat, or other symptoms that suggest a respiratory infection, and you go to a participating clinic.
AntwerpAges Any age - NCT07626073Enrolling by invitation
Respiratory Pathogen Testing Methods in ICU Pneumonia
This study compares three different laboratory tests to identify the bacteria or viruses causing pneumonia in ICU patients. The goal is to see which test method helps doctors choose the right antibiotics faster and improves patient outcomes.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT06213168Recruiting
CPAP plus high-flow oxygen vs oxygen alone for breathing failure
This study tests whether adding a breathing machine (CPAP) to high-flow oxygen can help people with sudden breathing failure more than high-flow oxygen alone. It is for adults recently admitted to the ICU with low oxygen levels.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05965128Recruiting
Testing a new 3-step diagnosis for fever and lung infections
This study tests a new, step-by-step way doctors identify what’s causing sudden fever and respiratory infections (like pneumonia or flu-like illness). It may help clinicians diagnose faster and choose the right next care.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 12–100 - NCT06514209Recruiting
Muscle relaxation levels in severe ARDS patients
This study is testing whether different levels of muscle relaxation (called neuromuscular blockade) during breathing support can improve lung function in people with serious ARDS. It might help doctors choose the best relaxation level for patients on a breathing machine.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 3 weeks–85 years - NCT07317154RecruitingPhase 1
Dendritic cell vaccine for HPV type 6 recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
This Phase 1 trial is testing a vaccine made from your own immune cells (dendritic cells) that may help your body fight the virus causing recurrent papillomas in your voice box. It is for people whose papillomas are caused by HPV type 6, who have had at least one recurrence in the past year.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06757166Recruiting
Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
This study tests if non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or high-flow oxygen) can help hospitalized patients with low oxygen levels due to COVID-19, without needing a breathing tube. It aims to see how well it works and what risks it may have.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06459011Recruiting
TAKINGCARE: Helping caregivers of lung disease patients
This study aims to understand the needs of people with long-term lung diseases and their caregivers. The goal is to find ways to better support both patients and the family members who help care for them.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 958 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.
