Inhaled solutions to help clear airways in pneumonia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests different inhaled medications to help patients with pneumonia clear mucus from their lungs. You may qualify if you have pneumonia and need help with airway clearance because you cannot cough up mucus on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with pneumonia (confirmed by medical records or ICD-10 codes)
- Age 18–100 years
- Unable to cough up mucus on your own and need suctioning to clear airways
- Clinical respiratory score between 4 and 8 (a measure of breathing difficulty)
- Not currently taking bronchodilator medications (inhalers that open airways)
- Oxygen support at 10 L/min or less (if using oxygen)

This trial tests different treatments for serious lung infections in people who are already in the hospital. It may help doctors learn which treatment works best for recovery and survival when pneumonia-like illness is suspected.
This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
This trial studies a new testing method (HCAP-Pcr) for people with pneumonia caught in the hospital or other healthcare settings. Doctors will use a special lung washing procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage to quickly identify the cause of the infection, which could help guide treatment faster.
This trial tests a new airway clearance device in ICU patients with pneumonia. It may help clear mucus from your lungs and improve breathing without needing a breathing tube.
This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
This trial tests different ways of giving an inhaled antibiotic (polymyxin B) to people on a ventilator who have pneumonia caused by tough bacteria that don't respond to usual antibiotics. The goal is to find the best way to deliver the medicine to help clear the infection.
