- NCT06808074RecruitingPhase 4
Inhaled amikacin to prevent pneumonia in cirrhosis patients on ventilators
This trial tests whether inhaling an antibiotic called amikacin can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) who are on a breathing machine. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with liver issues and needs a ventilator, this study may help reduce the risk of a serious lung infection.

CPAP on ECMO for severe lung failure
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are already on a life-support machine called VV-ECMO. It tests whether adding a special breathing tube (CPAP) can help their lungs heal better.

Preventing early lung infections after severe brain injury
This study tests whether giving an antibiotic (ceftriaxone) early after a severe brain injury can prevent lung infections caused by the breathing machine (ventilator). It is for adults in the ICU who recently started on a ventilator due to a brain emergency.
Kingswood, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06834971Recruiting
Inhaled colistin to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests if inhaling a medication called colistin can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection) in patients who are on a breathing machine. It aims to reduce the risk for those at high risk of getting an infection from drug-resistant bacteria.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06921655Recruiting
Using pressure and muscle measurement to avoid too much breathing help in the ICU
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine settings for patients who are awake and breathing on their own but still need support. The goal is to avoid giving too much help, which can make the breathing muscles weak.
Trento, TrentoAges 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+ - NCT06971042Recruiting
Using lung ultrasound to find ARDS early in ventilated patients
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
TantaAges 22–80 - NCT07001696Recruiting
Predicting breathing support needs with chest X-ray and blood gas
This trial looks at whether combining a chest X-ray and a blood gas test can help doctors decide if a critically ill patient needs a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to find a better way to make this important decision.
Zagazig, Al SharqiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07005505Recruiting
Comparing two breathing trial methods for ICU patients on ventilators
This study compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07017608Recruiting
Breathing effort before and after tube removal
This study measures how hard your breathing muscles work while you are on a ventilator and right after the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors understand how to make the transition easier.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07026656Recruiting
Quick diagnosis of ventilator pneumonia in critically ill children
This study tests a new way to quickly diagnose pneumonia in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It uses information from the body and germs to find the right treatment faster.
CambridgeAges 1 month–16 years - NCT07044089Recruiting
Lung protection during heart bypass surgery
This trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
Kocaeli, izmitAges 18–70 - NCT07047092RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP vs. NIV for sleep apnea in COPD after breathing failure
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
ParisAges 18–84 - NCT07102407Recruiting
A teaching program to prevent pneumonia from the breathing machine
This trial tests a teaching program for ICU staff and patients to help prevent pneumonia that can develop from being on a breathing machine. If you are on a ventilator, this program may keep you safer.
KaramanAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07114549Recruiting
Validating a tool to predict difficult mask ventilation
This study tests whether a scoring system (MASCAN) can correctly predict if a patient will be difficult to ventilate using a facemask during surgery. It aims to improve safety by identifying high-risk patients before anesthesia begins.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07179432Recruiting
Facial mask breathing support: comparing two techniques
This trial tests two different hand techniques for holding a face mask during general anesthesia. It aims to find which method works better for helping patients breathe, and may be relevant for anyone having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07182851Recruiting
Pain in patients on breathing machines in the ICU
This study looks at pain in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to understand pain better so doctors can help manage it more effectively.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT07207772Recruiting
Electric lung imaging vs. standard breathing support in weight-loss surgery
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–65 - NCT07211763Recruiting
Comparing carbon dioxide checks during jet ventilation for liver tumor ablation
This study looks at two ways of measuring carbon dioxide levels during a special type of breathing support called jet ventilation. The goal is to see if less invasive checks work as well as standard ones for people having a procedure to treat liver tumors with heat (radiofrequency ablation).
GothenburgAges 18 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 523 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.
