Understanding ARDS Through Lung Fluid and Imaging Analysis
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study examines lung fluid samples and imaging scans from patients on breathing machines to better understand acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. Researchers hope this will help doctors diagnose and treat ARDS more effectively in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are able to provide written consent (or have a legal representative who can)
- You are currently on a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine) in the ICU
- You fall into one of the study groups: ARDS diagnosis, severe pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation, or ventilated patients without ARDS

This study looks at the early changes in the lungs of people with sepsis who develop a severe breathing problem called ARDS. Researchers will collect small samples of lung fluid to better understand the condition and potentially improve future treatments.
This study is for patients in the ICU with ARDS (a severe lung condition). It looks at biomarkers (special substances in your blood) to help understand different types of ARDS. You do not receive any treatment, but you help researchers learn more about the disease.
This study looks at how the immune system responds in people with ARDS (a severe lung injury) and tests a new treatment called PIP-2 in the lab to see if it might help. It aims to better understand lung injury and find new ways to treat it.
This trial tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with a lung condition called ARDS. It may help improve breathing and recovery compared to standard care.
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 doctors safely remove breathing tubes from patients with lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find ways to improve decisions about when to take the tube out.
