• Innate Immune Immunoparalysis and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Critically Ill Elderly Patients

  This study tests whether signs of innate immune immunoparalysis in adults on ventilators are linked to developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

  Recruiting Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge · L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona · NCT07551258

• Combined mPCR and algorithm-based therapy to optimize early antibiotics in VAP

  This trial tests whether adding a broad respiratory mPCR test and a local-epidemiology algorithm helps doctors choose better initial antibiotics within 24 hours for adults with ventilator-associated pneumonia.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 4 Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes · Alès and 1 other locations · NCT07403474

• Using airway resistance changes to guide suctioning for ventilated patients

  This study will test whether monitoring airway viscous resistance from ventilator waveforms can help time sputum suctioning for patients on mechanical ventilation with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.

  Recruiting at 3 sites Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University · Bengbu, Anhui and 2 other locations · NCT07375667

• Two Oral Care Methods for Mechanically Ventilated Adults

  This trial tests whether a pediatric toothbrush or a foam swab for oral care affects oral bacteria and the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia in adults on mechanical ventilation.

  Recruiting Marmara University · Zonguldak · NCT07283380

• Aztreonam‑avibactam for MBL-producing CRE infections in hospitalized adults

  This study will see if aztreonam‑avibactam helps hospitalized adults with complicated intra‑abdominal infections or hospital/ventilator‑associated pneumonia caused by MBL-producing CRE.

  Recruiting Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital · Nanchang, Jiangxi and 1 other locations · NCT07268560

• Early detection of ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill children using microbial and immune signatures.

  This project will test whether combining microbial genomic data and a child's immune-response signals can detect ventilator-associated pneumonia earlier in critically ill children on mechanical ventilation.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge · NCT07026656

• Inhaled colistin to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients

  This study is testing if inhaled colistin can help prevent pneumonia in patients on ventilators who are at high risk for infections.

  Recruiting Qilu Hospital of Shandong University · Jinan, Shandong · NCT06834971

• Inhaled Colistin to Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Brain-Injury Patients

  This trial tests whether inhaled colistin can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia in adults with acute brain injury who are on a ventilator.

  Recruiting Southeast University, China · Nanjing, Jiangsu · NCT06819462

• Using inhaled amikacin to prevent pneumonia in cirrhosis patients on ventilators

  This study is testing if inhaled amikacin can help prevent pneumonia in patients with cirrhosis who are on ventilators.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Phase 4 Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India · Hyderabad, Telangana and 1 other locations · NCT06808074

• Immediate versus confirmed-start antibiotics for suspected non-severe ventilator-associated pneumonia

  This study will try starting antibiotics right away versus waiting for lab confirmation in adults on a ventilator who have a first suspected non-severe VAP.

  Recruiting at 42 sites Nantes University Hospital · Angers, France and 41 other locations · NCT06743529

• Preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in the ICU by using evidence-based practices and nurse behavior change

  This project will try training ICU nurses in evidence-based practices and using recent equipment to see if intubated patients in a Dhaka tertiary hospital have fewer ventilator-associated pneumonias and better outcomes.

  Recruiting Hiroshima University · Dhaka and 1 other locations · NCT06624540

Quick answers

How many Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) clinical trials are recruiting right now?

11, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.

Where are these trials running?

In 9 countries. The most sites are in China (4 trials), France (2 trials), Guadeloupe (1 trial), United Kingdom (1 trial), India (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.

What phases are they in?

Phase 4: 2. 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.
