Study on severe community-acquired pneumonia in adults
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how severe pneumonia acquired outside of a hospital is currently treated, to better understand the illness and improve care. It may help researchers develop better ways to diagnose and manage this serious lung infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are hospitalized with pneumonia that started outside of a hospital
- Your doctor has confirmed your pneumonia is severe using standard medical criteria
- You do not have a weakened immune system due to cancer, organ transplant, HIV, or long-term steroid use
- You are able to provide consent (or a family member can give permission if you cannot)

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 tests if anti-inflammatory drugs tailored to specific germs can help patients in the ICU with severe community-acquired pneumonia recover faster. You may be eligible if you've been in the ICU less than 48 hours and meet certain diagnostic criteria.
This study looks at adults with pneumonia caught outside the hospital. It aims to understand what symptoms they have and how well they recover, which could help doctors treat this condition better.
This study looks at patients with severe pneumonia caught outside the hospital. Researchers will review medical records to learn more about how this serious infection progresses.
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 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.
