New breathing method for severe pneumonia-related lung failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of using a ventilator (TCAV) versus standard care for people with moderate-to-severe lung failure caused by community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU on a breathing machine (ventilator) with low oxygen levels even with extra oxygen and pressure.
- You have pneumonia you caught outside the hospital, with at least two symptoms like cough, phlegm, chest pain, or trouble breathing.
- Your symptoms started within the last 7 days.
- You have been on the breathing machine for 24 hours or less.
- You are covered by a French social security program and have given consent (or a family member has).

This trial tests two types of breathing support (APRV and BiPAP) to see which works better for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help improve breathing and recovery for those on a ventilator.
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
This study tests a different way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with lung injury (ARDS) to see if it helps them recover better. You might be able to join if you are already on a ventilator in the ICU and meet certain health conditions.
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine to protect the lungs in people who are on ECMO (a machine that adds oxygen to the blood) for severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). If you qualify, you might get a treatment approach that could help your lungs heal better.
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
