Recruiting studies
- NCT06014138RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Volatile sedation study for ARDS patients

Comparing two breathing machine settings for high carbon dioxide failure
This trial tests two different ways of setting a noninvasive breathing machine (BiPAP) to help patients with high carbon dioxide levels in the blood due to respiratory failure. It aims to find which setting works better for patients at Lenox Hill Hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06068647Recruiting
Ultrasound and breathing tests for lung disease patients
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06177925RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for limited spread SCLC
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) plus standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has only spread to a few places. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06188195Recruiting
Preventing newborn breathing problems with steroids
This study tests a plan to prevent a severe newborn breathing problem called NARDS. If your baby's risk is very high, you may be offered a steroid treatment that could help their lungs work better at birth.
ChongqingAges Any age - NCT06203405Recruiting
Sedation guided by breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06217276Recruiting
Breathing muscle fatigue and leg oxygen in COPD
This study looks at how breathing muscle tiredness relates to oxygen levels in leg muscles for people with moderate-to-severe COPD. It may help patients understand their condition better.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT06258681Recruiting
Breathing exercise device for recovery after heart surgery
This trial tests a new breathing exercise device designed to help your lungs recover after heart surgery. It may make your breathing easier and speed up your return to daily activities.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 40–65 - NCT06271213Recruiting
Gut-lung study for children with breathing problems
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
GlasgowAges birth–16 years - NCT06292299Recruiting
Breathing monitor study for children with sleep or breathing issues
This study looks at how well a new breathing monitor works for children with sleep problems, breathing pauses in newborns, or epilepsy. It may help doctors better understand breathing patterns without extra needles or blood tests.
Glasgow, Glasgow CityAges 1 minute–16 years - NCT07603310Recruiting
PEEP levels in ARDS based on lung response
This study tests whether adjusting ventilator settings based on how well your lungs respond can improve oxygen and reduce damage in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, within the first 36 hours of diagnosis.
Rancagua, Región del Libertador General Bernardo O’HigginsAges 18 years+ - NCT06341972Recruiting
Recovering after breathing support: a self-help program
This study tests a self-management program to help people who felt anxious after being on a breathing machine in the ICU. It aims to improve emotional recovery and quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06384963Recruiting
Pacing after bypass for heart failure patients
This trial tests a special pacing therapy that uses your natural breathing rhythm to improve heart function after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help people with weak heart muscles recover better after surgery.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 22 years+ - NCT06402318Recruiting
Quick breath test for COVID, flu, and RSV
This study tests a breathalyzer device that quickly detects COVID-19, flu, and RSV from your breath. If you are already being tested for these viruses, you may join to see if this new method works as well as the usual swab test.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT06412172Recruiting
Natural history study of lung papillomatosis
This study is for people with HPV-related recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) that has spread to the lungs. Doctors will follow your health over time and study the condition to learn more about how it progresses.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–99 - NCT06441773Recruiting
Lung rehab for advanced lung cancer on maintenance therapy
This study tests if a respiratory (breathing) rehabilitation program can improve quality of life for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are on maintenance treatment after initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06467864Recruiting
Predicting lung infection outcomes using early bacteria tests

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06472219RecruitingPhase 3
PREDICATE trial for serious lung infections
This trial tests a new approach to treating serious respiratory infections in hospitalized adults. It aims to see if a targeted strategy works better than standard care while avoiding extra risks.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06477302Recruiting
Sticking with breathing rehab for lung cancer
This trial looks at how well people with lung cancer stick with a respiratory rehabilitation program (breathing exercises and support). Researchers want to see if factors like your treatment stage or daily function affect your ability to keep up with rehab. It may help find ways to better support patients during recovery.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06490744Recruiting
Lung function after COVID-19 in lung transplant patients

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 956 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.
