Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) study: treatments and outcomes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Getting high-flow oxygen through your nose (at least 30 liters per minute), or using a breathing mask or tube with extra pressure
- Low oxygen levels in your blood (PaO2/FiO2 ratio 300 or less) within 48 hours of joining
- Cloudy areas on both lungs in a chest x-ray or CT scan, not caused by fluid from heart failure or lung collapse
- Breathing failure not mainly due to heart problems or fluid overload (if no other cause is found, an echo of your heart is needed)
- Not already on long-term oxygen or home breathing machines (except CPAP only for sleep apnea), and no other serious lung conditions like bleeding or scarring

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.
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
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 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 tests a new way to adjust the amount of air given by the ventilator to people with a severe lung injury called ARDS. The goal is to see if a specific breathing strategy can help protect the lungs and improve recovery.
This study gathers information from patients with or at high risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung injury. It aims to create a database and use artificial intelligence to better understand and treat ARDS.
