Nitric oxide breathing gas for children with lung failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is older than 37 weeks corrected age and up to 21 years old (including adults who cannot consent).
- Your child has been on a breathing machine for less than 72 hours and has severe lung failure (ARDS) with low oxygen levels.
- Your child is not currently on a special breathing machine called high-frequency ventilation or a heart-lung machine (ECMO), and is not already receiving nitric oxide.
- Your child does not have a significant air leak from their breathing tube or chest tube (more than 20%).
- Your child does not have a blue-type heart defect (cyanotic congenital heart disease) or a do-not-resuscitate order.
- Your child has had a blood gas test done before starting any special treatments.

This study tests whether giving nitric oxide gas through a breathing tube helps people with a lung condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) recover and leave the intensive care unit sooner. It may help some patients with mild-to-moderate cases who need a ventilator and a central line.
This pilot study tests NOA-001, a treatment given to people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are already on a breathing machine. It looks at whether the treatment can improve outcomes in ARDS caused by either non-COVID illnesses or COVID-19.
This trial tests whether breathing in nitric oxide gas can improve oxygen levels in adults with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (a serious lung condition often caused by pneumonia or sepsis). If you have this condition and meet the requirements, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas you breathe in) can improve oxygen delivery to your lungs in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are using non-invasive breathing support instead of a breathing tube. The goal is to help your lungs deliver oxygen more efficiently to your blood.
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
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.
