Inhaled nitric oxide for severe obesity with breathing failure
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) because of severe breathing failure
- You have been on the ventilator for less than 72 hours
- You are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) at Massachusetts General Hospital
- You have a tube in an artery and a central vein for monitoring
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have certain heart, lung, or blood conditions that would make the treatment unsafe

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 trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
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.
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 gas can help full-term newborns who have severe breathing problems and high blood pressure in their lungs. It aims to improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for more intensive support.
This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can improve outcomes in people with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help reduce breathing problems by targeting how airways and blood vessels respond in the lungs.
