Finding the best steroid dose for ARDS patients on a ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests different doses of corticosteroids to find the best one for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery while reducing side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ARDS (a serious lung condition) and need extra oxygen (FiO₂ of 50% or more)
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) right now
- You have been on the breathing machine for less than 3 days
- You are 18 years or older
- You are not already taking steroids or have a condition that prevents their use
- You do not have uncontrolled internal bleeding or infection

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 tests whether the steroid dexamethasone can help people with sepsis who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung injury. If you have an infection and need breathing support, this study may help find a better treatment.
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 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 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 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.
