Recruiting studies
- NCT06319274RecruitingPhase 2

This study collects and analyzes the moisture you breathe out while on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to learn more about your condition by examining your breath.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT05160987Recruiting
Sedation choice for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study compares two sedation medicines—remimazolam vs midazolam—for very sick ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It looks at whether one sedative works better or is safer for keeping patients comfortable while they’re critically ill.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04494074Recruiting
Cooling fever in ventilated people with septic shock
This study tests whether external cooling can safely lower very high fever in people who are on a breathing machine for septic shock. It may help improve outcomes by controlling fever while they are treated for the infection causing their illness.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06607055Recruiting
Immune markers in ICU patients with pneumonia
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in ICU patients on a ventilator who have pneumonia. By measuring immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand and predict complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05751863Recruiting
Sedation-first vs usual care in ventilated trauma patients
This study compares how pain medicine and calming medicine are started in critically injured (trauma) adults who are on a breathing machine. It aims to see whether a specific “analgesia-first” approach can improve comfort and support breathing weaning.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07436780Recruiting
Immune cells in the lungs of ventilated patients
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs of people on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these cells change in patients who develop pneumonia while on the ventilator.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT05525312Recruiting
Two breathing strategies during lung surgery for lung cancer
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06339580RecruitingPhase 2
Volume-targeted ventilation for neuromuscular disease
This trial tests a smarter ventilator setting that automatically adjusts pressure to deliver a steady amount of air. It may help people with slowly worsening muscle weakness who already use a nighttime breathing machine.
London, LondonAges 18–80 - NCT07114289Recruiting
Breathing test methods for overweight patients on ventilators
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07408375Recruiting
Adjusting breathing machine for tumor ablation
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine (ventilator) during a tumor-destroying procedure called thermal ablation. The goal is to find the safest pressure settings to protect your lungs while you are sedated.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07284888Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07686315Recruiting
Safer breathing with advanced monitoring on a ventilator
This trial is testing a new way to monitor your breathing while you are on a ventilator, to make it safer. It is for people who need a ventilator for reasons other than lung failure, like after a coma, injury, or severe infection.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07653568Recruiting
Comparing two ultrasound methods to guide fluid therapy in septic patients on ventilators
This study tests whether a neck ultrasound (carotid Doppler) or a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) is better at determining how much fluid a septic patient on a ventilator needs. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with sepsis on a breathing machine, this trial helps doctors choose the best way to give fluids that can improve blood pressure and organ function.
Islamabad, Federal AreaAges 12 years+ - NCT07239687Recruiting
Comparing two propofol sedation methods for ICU patients on ventilators
This study compares two computer-controlled methods for delivering propofol sedation to ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to determine which method provides safer and more effective sedation for critically ill patients.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07120672Recruiting
Breathing tube removal success study
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06835842Recruiting
Rib mobilization for pneumonia patients on a ventilator
This study tests whether a gentle rib movement technique (called rib mobilization) can help people with pneumonia who are on a breathing machine get ready to breathe on their own. It aims to see if this therapy makes it easier to wean off the ventilator.
CairoAges 40–50 - NCT06832306Recruiting
Diaphragm pacing for breathing support in ICU
This trial tests a device that helps stimulate the diaphragm to improve breathing in patients who need a ventilator. It's for people with new breathing problems who have been in the ICU on a ventilator for less than 4 days.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06602557RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled antibiotic for lung infection during ECMO support
This trial tests whether adding an inhaled antibiotic (amikacin) to standard IV antibiotics can better treat a serious lung infection (pneumonia caused by Gram-negative bacteria) in patients on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) and a breathing tube. If you or your loved one is on ECMO and has this type of pneumonia, this study may offer a new treatment approach.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03431064Recruiting
Ultrasound test during surgery to predict fluid needs in children
This study looks at a specific breathing maneuver done while your child is on a ventilator during surgery, and uses ultrasound-related measurements to predict whether they’ll need extra fluids. If it works, it may help doctors give the right amount of fluid and avoid problems from too little or too much.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 17 years - NCT06702813Recruiting
High-frequency vibration breathing treatment for ICU patients
This trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilated patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 203 recruiting ventilated patients 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 ventilated patients 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 ventilated patients 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.
