Early breathing support for ARDS using a pressure release ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be diagnosed with ARDS based on the trial’s oxygen/ventilator criteria (Pao2/FiO2) and recent onset
- Have been on a breathing machine with a tube (endotracheal mechanical ventilation) for less than 48 hours
- Be 18 years or older
- Not be pregnant
- Your breathing support team expects you will need the breathing machine for at least 48 hours (not less)

This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
This study looks at a specific breathing event (“avalanche phenomenon”) when the lungs are opened in people with early, moderate-to-severe ARDS. The goal is to understand what’s happening in the lungs and whether it can guide better care.
This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
This study looks at whether starting early movement and breathing-related care while in the ICU helps people with ARDS (a serious lung condition). You may be eligible if you recently needed a breathing machine and are expected to need it for a bit longer.
This study tests an “extra-CO2 removal” breathing support approach to help protect the lungs in people with moderate ARDS, a serious lung injury. You would be on a ventilator for a short time, and the team would check whether this approach improves breathing outcomes while aiming to be safer for the lungs.
