Inhaled nitric oxide for lung injury in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18-80 years old and on a breathing tube (ventilator) in the intensive care unit.
- You must have a diagnosis of mild to moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with a specific oxygen level range.
- You must have an arterial line (small tube in an artery) and a central line (small tube in a large vein) in place.
- You cannot have severe lung disease, sickle cell disease, or certain enzyme deficiencies (G6PD or cytochrome b5 reductase).
- You cannot be pregnant or less than 6 weeks after giving birth.
- You cannot have unstable blood pressure or recent changes in ventilator settings.

This trial tests whether adding a breathing gas called nitric oxide to standard care helps children with severe lung failure (ARDS) recover faster. It is for children on a breathing machine who still have low oxygen levels.
This study tests an inhaled gas (iNO300) given through your breathing tube to improve oxygen levels in critically ill patients with pneumonia. You may qualify if you are on a ventilator and have been diagnosed with pneumonia within the last 3 days.
This trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide can help people with severe obesity who are on a breathing machine because their lungs aren't getting enough oxygen. It aims to see if this treatment improves oxygen levels and recovery.
This trial tests whether giving nitric oxide gas during heart surgery can help patients recover faster and need less breathing and circulation support afterward. It is for people having planned heart or aortic surgery with a heart-lung machine for the first time.
This study tests whether inhaling nitric oxide gas can improve how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood in people with ARDS who are using noninvasive breathing support like a CPAP or high-flow nasal oxygen. It may help doctors understand if this treatment can improve lung function and potentially reduce the need for a breathing tube.
This study tests whether breathing in a special gas called nitric oxide can help people with moderate to severe ARDS (a severe form of lung failure that makes it hard to breathe). The gas is used to improve oxygen levels and may help patients on a ventilator recover.
