Frequently Asked Questions — critical illness Clinical Trials

How many clinical trials are currently recruiting for critical illness?
ClinicalMetric currently tracks 30 actively recruiting clinical trials for critical illness, sourced in real time from ClinicalTrials.gov. The total number of registered studies—including those not yet enrolling or in active follow-up—is 30. Trial availability changes daily as new studies open enrollment and existing ones reach capacity.
What trial phases are available for critical illness?
critical illness research spans Phase 1 (1 trial), Phase 2 (2 trials), Phase 3 (2 trials), Phase 4 (3 trials). Phase 1 studies evaluate safety and dosing in small groups, Phase 2 studies assess preliminary efficacy in 100–300 participants, and Phase 3 trials compare the new treatment against the standard of care in 300–3,000+ patients. Phase 4 post-approval studies monitor long-term outcomes in real-world populations.
How do I find out if I qualify for a critical illness clinical trial?
Eligibility criteria for critical illness trials vary by study and typically specify age range, disease stage or severity, prior treatment history, and specific diagnostic or laboratory parameters. Each listing on ClinicalMetric links to the full protocol on ClinicalTrials.gov, where inclusion and exclusion criteria are documented. Contact the sponsoring site's research coordinator directly to confirm your eligibility—your treating physician or specialist can also help identify the most appropriate trial based on your medical history and current treatment status.
