Steroids for severe adenovirus pneumonia in adults
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding steroids (corticosteroids) to standard care helps adults with severe adenovirus pneumonia recover faster. It is for people in the ICU who have a confirmed adenovirus infection and severe pneumonia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are in the ICU
- You have a confirmed adenovirus infection (from a respiratory test)
- You have severe pneumonia (either on a breathing machine/septic shock, or have at least three of the minor criteria listed)
- You are not taking certain other steroids or have conditions that prevent steroid use

This study tests if giving steroids can help adults with severe pneumonia caused by the flu who are in the ICU. You may qualify if you are very sick with flu pneumonia and need a breathing tube or other intensive treatments.
This trial tests if giving steroids early, based on your immune system, can help treat severe pneumonia that needs ICU care. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether adding corticosteroids helps non-HIV immunocompromised adults with severe Pneumocystis pneumonia in the ICU. If you meet the criteria, you may be randomly assigned to receive either steroids plus standard care or standard care alone.
This trial tests whether giving steroids early to people hospitalized with severe flu pneumonia can improve recovery and reduce complications. It may help by reducing lung inflammation.
This study tests whether giving steroids (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) to adults hospitalized with severe respiratory infections can help them recover faster. If you have a serious lung infection and low oxygen levels, this trial may be an option for you.
This study tests whether a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) can help people with severe breathing problems or serious infections who have a specific 'hyperinflammatory' pattern. If you are in the ICU on a ventilator, this trial may be an option for you.
