Ultra-protective lung ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentler way of using the breathing machine, and may add a machine that acts like an artificial lung, to give your lungs time to heal from ARDS. This could help you recover if your lungs are very strained.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing machine for less than 7 days.
- Your oxygen levels must be low to moderate despite the breathing machine.
- You must have lung problems that are not due to heart failure or fluid buildup.
- You need to have a high pressure or high breathing rate while on the machine.
- A family member or close relative must agree to the trial, or you must be able to consent.
- You must have social security coverage (not medical assistance for foreigners).

This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This study compares two ways of measuring how well your lungs can open up, to help doctors find the best breathing machine settings for you. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing support in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
This study tests a smarter way to set the breathing machine's pressure in people with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are also being turned onto their stomachs to help their lungs. It aims to see if using a special chest monitor (EIT) can improve oxygen levels and lung function.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This trial tests a new medicine (LEAF-4L6715) for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. The aim is to see if this medicine helps improve breathing and recovery in people on a breathing machine. The trial is for adults who have had ARDS for at least 24 hours and are already on a breathing machine.
