Recruiting studies
- NCT04158479Recruiting
Registry for people on ECMO life support
This registry collects information about people who are placed on ECMO, a heart-lung machine used to support breathing and/or circulation. It may help doctors better understand who benefits and how to manage ECMO in the future.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05540834RecruitingPhase 2
Testing blood-clot guidance for ICU patients with severe lung failure
This Phase 2 trial tests whether using a blood test that shows clotting strength and “clot breakdown time” can help guide treatment for people in the ICU with acute respiratory failure from infection. If you qualify, the team will use these blood results to decide on clot-related therapy and compare outcomes to standard care.
Liverpool, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT07849491Enrolling by invitation
Pharmacist-led antibiotic review for respiratory infections
This study tests whether a pharmacist-led deprescribing strategy—carefully reviewing and possibly reducing or stopping antibiotics that may not be needed—can improve safety and outcomes in patients with respiratory infections taking azithromycin.
Islamabad, IslamabadAges 18–65 - NCT07845305Enrolling by invitation
Breathing tube placement with sedation only to preserve breathing
This study tests whether giving only sedation (not a paralytic drug) during emergency breathing tube placement can help you keep breathing on your own. It aims to see if this approach is safer and helps recovery.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07839949Recruiting
Monitoring breathing effort during ventilator weaning
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how hard your breathing muscles are working while the ventilator support is being reduced. It aims to help doctors wean you off the ventilator more smoothly and safely.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges Any age - NCT07841691Recruiting

This study looks at how to use antibiotics more effectively for young children with chest infections. It aims to improve treatment and reduce unnecessary antibiotics.
Johannesburg, GautengAges 2 months–2 years - NCT07832643Recruiting
Allergy and breathing problems in babies at 12 months
This study follows full-term babies from birth to 12 months to see if allergies affect breathing problems. It may help doctors understand and prevent respiratory issues in infants.
Amiens, PicardieAges Up to 1 year - NCT07810010RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for RSV and HMPV in adults 60 and older
This study tests a new vaccine that protects against two common respiratory viruses: RSV and HMPV. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and works well in older adults, who are at higher risk for serious illness from these viruses.
Bruse, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 60 years+ - NCT07810283Enrolling by invitation
Using a new imaging belt to guide breathing support
This study tests a new belt that takes pictures of your lungs to help doctors adjust your breathing support. It may help make non-invasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) more comfortable and effective for people with chronic breathing problems.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07799636Recruiting
Early warning for breathing problems after surgery
This study tests a new way to predict breathing problems soon after surgery by looking at ventilator waveforms. If successful, it could help doctors spot issues earlier and provide better care.
Chengdu, SichuanAges Any age - 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 - NCT06553911Recruiting
AI tools for diagnosing respiratory infections
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors read X-rays or CT scans of people with respiratory infections. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate.
ShanghaiAges 1–90 - NCT07747337Recruiting
Lung transplant recovery study
This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07739446Enrolling by invitation
Do face masks help prevent catching the flu or COVID-19?
This trial looks at whether wearing surgical masks when out in public can reduce your chances of getting the flu or COVID-19. If you join, you'll be assigned by chance to either wear a mask outside for 3-4 months or not wear one, and you'll be tested if you get sick.
ChibaAges 20–49 - NCT07734649RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
RSV and HMPV vaccine study for adults 60 and older
This study tests a new vaccine that targets two respiratory viruses, RSV and HMPV, to see if it's safe and effective in adults 60 years and older. It may help prevent serious lung infections caused by these viruses.
Gadsden, AlabamaAges 60 years+ - NCT07730034Recruiting
Early physical therapy after heart surgery to prevent breathing problems
This trial tests whether starting physical therapy soon after planned heart surgery can help prevent breathing complications. It is for adults who are having a first-time coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and meet specific health criteria.
ZagrebAges 18–80 - NCT07717372Recruiting
CRP test for adults with respiratory infection in primary care
This trial tests whether a simple finger-prick test (C-reactive protein or CRP) can help doctors decide whether antibiotics are needed for adults with a cold or other respiratory infection. If you are an adult with recent symptoms and have not taken antibiotics yet, you may be able to join.
JakartaAges 18 years+ - NCT07722130Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to help breathing after neck injury
This trial tests if a device placed near the spinal cord can help people with a neck injury breathe better without a ventilator. It's for those who still need breathing support at least 2 weeks after their injury.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07711964RecruitingPhase 4
Finding the best steroid dose for ARDS patients on a ventilator
This trial tests different doses of corticosteroids to find the best one for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery while reducing side effects.
TaipeiAges 18 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.

CPAP and oxygen delivery in preterm infants
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges Any age - NCT06673225Recruiting
