Aspirin for pneumonia in older adults
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a daily low dose of aspirin can help older adults recover from pneumonia. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve outcomes for patients hospitalized with the infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests new ways to diagnose pneumonia faster and more accurately in older adults who come to the emergency room with breathing problems. The goal is to see if these new tests work better than the current methods.
This study tests a pneumococcal vaccine designed for 20 types of bacteria in older adults who are hospitalized with suspected community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to see how the vaccine works in real-world care and whether it affects how pneumonia happens or progresses.
This Phase 3 trial studies which aspirin dose works best in people with COPD, with the goal of improving disease control. You may be asked to take aspirin and be monitored for safety, especially bleeding risk and heart/brain history.
This study looks at how the immune system in the nose and throat reacts to Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria and viruses in adults aged 60-85. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or treat pneumonia.
This study looks at older adults with severe pneumonia to understand what causes it and how to improve outcomes. If you are 65 or older and have severe pneumonia, this trial may help doctors learn more about your condition.
This trial is testing how many days of antibiotics are best for adults with pneumonia who are treated by their regular doctor (not in a hospital). The goal is to find the shortest effective treatment to reduce side effects and antibiotic resistance.
