Study of immune causes of acute respiratory distress
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe lung infection, major injury, shock, or other condition that can lead to ARDS.
- Your breathing symptoms started less than 7 days ago.
- You have fluid in both lungs that is not caused by a heart problem or too much IV fluids.
- Your oxygen level in blood is low (PaO2/FiO2 of 300 or less) while on breathing support (PEEP of at least 5 cmH2O).
- You have not been on a breathing tube for longer than 48 hours.
- You do not have a condition that weakens your immune system, such as active cancer, transplant history, or certain blood problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the real-world features, treatments, and outcomes of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. If you are on certain types of breathing support and meet the oxygen and lung scan criteria, your participation may help improve care for others with this condition.
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 study looks at how the immune system and ECMO (a machine that helps oxygenate blood) can improve outcomes for people with moderate to severe ARDS. If you join, researchers will monitor your condition and treatment to find better ways to manage this serious lung problem.
This study looks at blood and sputum samples from people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) to find clues that might predict how well they will recover. The goal is to improve care and outcomes for future patients.
This study looks at better ways to protect the lungs during mechanical ventilation (breathing support) for people with ARDS, a serious lung injury. It aims to find ways to reduce additional damage to the lungs while on a ventilator.
This study collects health information from ICU patients with or at high risk for ARDS to better understand the condition and develop a tool to help doctors make decisions. It may not directly help you, but it could improve care for future patients.
