Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT05731024Recruiting
Closed-loop breathing control vs standard care for kids in ICU
This study compares a computerized “closed-loop” system that helps match breathing support to a child’s needs versus usual (standard) breathing control. It’s for critically ill children on a breathing machine, aiming to improve synchronization between the child and the ventilator.
AydinAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07279831Recruiting
Brain-lung interaction study in acute respiratory failure
This trial looks at how the lung and brain communicate during serious breathing problems. If you are in the ICU with a new breathing issue and need high-flow oxygen therapy, researchers want to study your brain and lung activity together.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07274527Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07265882Recruiting
Bedside test for breathing tube patients
This trial uses a simple bedside test to evaluate patients who are on a breathing machine and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors better understand and manage acute respiratory failure.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–90 - NCT06901050Recruiting
A study of FAST HUGS care for ICU patients with low oxygen
This trial tests a special care bundle called 'FAST HUGS' to see if it helps people in the ICU with low oxygen levels get better sooner. It focuses on patients in the Chest Intensive Care Unit who have trouble getting enough oxygen.
ErzurumAges 18–100 - NCT07251790Recruiting
Better breathing support for very preterm babies
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges birth+ - NCT06902194Recruiting
Kids' immune response to respiratory infections study
This study looks at how South African children's immune systems respond to acute respiratory infections. It may help find better ways to treat or prevent these infections.
Cape Town, Western CapeAges Up to 13 years - NCT07232550Recruiting
Breathing study for children needing bronchoscopy
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
WarsawAges Up to 17 years - NCT07237139Recruiting
Lung volume changes during breathing support in preterm infants
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT05756894Recruiting
Stimulation therapy to improve breathing after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a neurostimulation approach to help breathing problems after a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you have a certain type and level of spinal cord injury and breathing weakness, and you can safely attend study visits with caregiver support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07214571RecruitingPhase 2
Study of S-337395 for RSV in high-risk adults
This trial tests an experimental drug called S-337395 for adults with RSV who are not in the hospital but are at high risk for severe illness. It aims to see if the drug can help prevent symptoms from getting worse.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT07216755Recruiting
Breathing training and nitrate for altitude exercise
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
Daytona Beach, FloridaAges 18–40 - NCT07208591RecruitingPhase 3
Test of an experimental drug for severe viral lung infection (ARDS)
This study tests an experimental drug (STSA-1002) for people with severe breathing problems caused by a viral infection. It aims to see if the drug can help improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for a breathing machine.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07211529Recruiting
Nerve block during chest surgery to reduce complications
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07203781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and their effect on breathing effort
This study is testing how different settings on a breathing machine affect your breathing effort and drive. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings for patients with severe low oxygen levels.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07202299Recruiting
Weaning preterm babies off high-frequency breathing machines
This trial tests two different ways to safely take preterm babies off a special breathing machine (HFOV). It aims to find which method works better for babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome).
Al MansurahAges Any age - NCT07189078Recruiting
Comparing intubation methods for patients with low blood oxygen
This study tests two different ways to place a breathing tube in patients who are in intensive care with very low oxygen levels and need help breathing. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for patients like you.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT06936618Recruiting
Electrical impedance guided ventilator settings for breathing failure
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07175194Recruiting
Matching lung scans to ventilator settings in acute breathing failure
This study uses two lung imaging tests—CT scan and EIT (a non-invasive electrical test)—to find the best ventilator pressure for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to tailor settings to your lungs and potentially improve breathing support.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07165717Recruiting
Real-world study of breathing emergencies in ICU patients
This study looks at why some patients develop severe breathing problems in the ICU. It focuses on people who already have conditions like severe infections, injuries, or heavy bleeding that can stress the lungs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07170085Recruiting
Positioning for babies with breathing problems
This trial tests if different body positions help babies under 1 year old with breathing problems breathe better while on oxygen support (High-Flow or CPAP).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 922 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.
