All recruiting trials (6)
-
Single-dose inhaled rh-KGF-2 for ARDS in adults
This trial tests whether a single inhaled dose of rh-KGF-2 helps adults with ARDS who are on ventilators, using three dose levels to see which is safest and potentially most effective.
-
Transpulmonary Pressure-Guided Ventilation for Right Heart Protection in ARDS
This study tests whether using transpulmonary pressure to guide ventilation can reduce right heart involvement in adults with pneumonia-related moderate to severe ARDS.
-
How changing PEEP affects breathing drive and effort during pressure‑support ventilation
We will test whether changing PEEP levels changes neural respiratory drive and inspiratory effort in adults on pressure‑support ventilation for moderate‑to‑severe ARDS or acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
-
PRE-VAIL: reducing enteral feeding before prone positioning for severe ARDS
This trial tests whether temporarily reducing tube feeding before turning adults with moderate-to-severe ARDS onto their stomachs lowers stomach pressure and feeding problems.
-
Using prone positioning to predict neurological complications in ARDS patients
This study looks at patients with severe breathing problems who are treated by lying on their stomachs to see if this position can help predict any brain issues they might have.
-
Diaphragm stimulation to improve breathing in ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing if a new way of stimulating the diaphragm can help ICU patients on ventilators breathe better compared to standard care.

Quick answers
How many ARDS (Moderate or Severe) clinical trials are recruiting right now?
6, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 4 countries. The most sites are in China (4 trials), Netherlands (1 trial), Canada (1 trial), United States (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Early Phase 1: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
