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+ - NCT04221737Recruiting
Early breathing support for ARDS using a pressure release ventilator
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18–80 - NCT04068012Recruiting
Test of a decision support tool for children with PARDS
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07710469Enrolling by invitation
Weighted blanket for comfort during breathing tube removal
This study tests whether a weighted blanket can help people feel calmer and more comfortable while they are being weaned off a breathing tube in the intensive care unit (ICU). If it works, it might reduce anxiety and the need for strong sedative medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07643324Recruiting
Breathing support study during kidney stone removal surgery
This study compares two different breathing-machine settings during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure to see which works better and causes fewer lung problems. You would be randomly assigned to one setting or the other during your surgery.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - NCT05134467Recruiting
Protocol-based weaning from the ventilator in ICU patients
This study looks at a step-by-step plan to help patients come off the breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) and checks how well it works. If you’re an ICU patient on the ventilator for at least two days, you may be eligible to follow their protocol.
SeoulAges 19–99 - NCT05348291Recruiting
Ventilation tubes for babies with frequent ear infections
This trial studies whether placing ventilation (ear) tubes in very young children can reduce how often ear infections happen. It focuses on babies under 1 year old who have a high pattern of repeat ear infections.
LundAges 1–2 - NCT06142474RecruitingPhase 3
SGLT2 inhibitors for heart failure patients during ventilator weaning
This trial tests a heart failure medication (SGLT2 inhibitor) to help people with heart failure who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) get better and come off the machine faster. It is for patients with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps weakly (EF ≤ 40%).
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07255742Recruiting
Lactoferrin to prevent pneumonia in babies on breathing machines
This study tests whether giving lactoferrin (a protein found in breast milk and other body fluids) to newborns on a ventilator (breathing machine) can prevent a lung infection called ventilator-associated pneumonia.
TantaAges birth–3 months - NCT06240637Recruiting
Telemonitoring for starting home ventilator
This study tests whether using a remote monitoring system (telemonitoring) helps people adjust better to a new home ventilator. It is for people with long-term breathing problems who are starting a ventilator for the first time.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07851740Recruiting
Lung surgery breathing settings study
This study tests different breathing settings during lung surgery to see which one helps keep your lungs healthy. It may help you breathe better after surgery.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07848165Recruiting
Probiotics to prevent pneumonia in children on breathing machines
This trial tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent pneumonia in children who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. If your child is on a ventilator, these friendly bacteria might help keep their lungs healthy.
Tanta, Al GharbiaAges 1 month–18 years - NCT02735707RecruitingPhase 3
Adaptive trial for severe pneumonia care in intensive care
This study tests ways to improve treatment for adults with severe pneumonia that lands them in the ICU, adjusting the plan as results come in. It may help your care team find better treatments for lung infection and breathing/heart support needs.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07768748Recruiting
Understanding breathing support interactions with your ventilator
This study looks at how well your breathing matches the ventilator when using certain home ventilation machines. It aims to improve how these devices help people with breathing problems.
Schmallenberg, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT07759934RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing ASK0912 to polymyxin B for hospital-acquired pneumonia
This study compares an experimental antibiotic called ASK0912 with an approved antibiotic (polymyxin B) in adults with hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia. It aims to see if the new drug is as effective and safe as the standard treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07752004Enrolling by invitation
Using a stress ball during breathing support therapy
This trial tests whether squeezing a stress ball can help reduce stress and anxiety in people who are using a breathing mask that supports their breathing (non-invasive ventilation). It might make the experience more comfortable and help you feel calmer during treatment.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07750288Recruiting
Studying shortness of breath in children with acute respiratory distress
This study looks at how shortness of breath (dyspnea) relates to the progression of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), a severe lung condition in children. It aims to understand breathing difficulties better to improve care.
SantiagoAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07732114Recruiting
Liver vein vs. heart echo to check right heart function on a ventilator
This study compares a liver vein ultrasound method with a standard heart ultrasound for checking how well the right side of the heart is pumping in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). If you are on a ventilator and can get a clear ultrasound of your heart and liver veins, you may be able to join.
Alexandria, Shebin El-KomAges 18 years+ - NCT06107907Recruiting
Oxygen flow and pressure in heart failure patients
This study tests a new way to measure pressure in your lungs while you receive high-flow oxygen therapy. It may help doctors better understand how to use this treatment in people with heart failure who need extra breathing support.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06609577Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diaphragm pacing for patients on ventilators
This trial tests a personalized pacing device that uses ultrasound to help your diaphragm muscle work better while you are on a breathing machine. It may help you breathe on your own sooner and improve your recovery.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–95 - NCT05030337Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 506 recruiting ventilation 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 ventilation 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 ventilation 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.
