Lung repair study in older adults with ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific pathway (called RSPO3/SDC-1) helps repair damaged lungs in older adults with ARDS. It may help doctors find new ways to improve recovery after severe breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 65 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) within the last 24 hours
- You are currently on a breathing machine or non-invasive support like a CPAP mask
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney failure
- You have not had a lung infection (like pneumonia) or a blood clotting disorder
- You have not taken any special immune therapy (cytokine-based drugs) in the last 3 months

This study looks at blood and sputum samples from people with ARDS (a severe lung condition) to find what affects their recovery. It might help doctors better understand how to treat ARDS in the future.
This trial observes the symptoms, treatments, and recovery of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It aims to learn more about how different types of breathing support affect outcomes.
This trial is testing new treatments for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. The goal is to find therapies that help patients breathe better and recover faster. If you or a loved one has ARDS, this study may offer access to experimental treatments.
This trial checks if a lung test called the recruitment-to-inflation ratio gives the same result when done more than once. The test helps doctors understand how much of the lung can be opened up with more pressure from the breathing machine. This may help improve care for patients with severe lung injury.
This trial studies two ways to measure how much of your lungs can open up again (recruitability) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure. It may help improve oxygen levels in patients with severe lung injury.
This trial looks at how the immune system might cause severe breathing problems (ARDS). It may help doctors understand what happens in the lungs during this condition and find better ways to treat it.
