Pneumonia germs, inflammation, and recovery
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain parts of the bacteria that cause pneumonia (called virulence factors) and your body's natural inflammation markers are related to how well you recover. The goal is to learn more about what affects pneumonia outcomes, which could help doctors personalize treatment.

This study looks at adults who get pneumonia outside of a hospital (community-acquired pneumonia) to understand their symptoms, treatments, and outcomes. If you are an adult with this type of pneumonia, you might be able to join.
This study looks at how hospital-acquired pneumonia is diagnosed and treated in China. If you join, your doctors will track your infection and treatment to help improve care for future patients.
This registry study collects information from patients hospitalized with pneumonia who also have a weakened immune system. The goal is to better understand how to treat and manage pneumonia in people like you.
This study looks at the germs in your lungs to understand why some people's pneumonia doesn't get better with standard antibiotics. If you are hospitalized with pneumonia and have just started treatment, you may be asked to provide a sputum sample so researchers can study your lung microbiome.
This study follows how community-acquired pneumonia progresses in hospitalized patients who already have serious health problems or weakened immune systems. The goal is to better understand risk and changes over time, which may help guide future care for people like you.
This study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
