A Study of Immune Responses and ECMO in Severe Lung Injury
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must have moderate to severe ARDS, which is a severe lung injury causing low oxygen levels.
- You must not have a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in your neck) already in place.
- You must not have had a lung transplant or be using ECMO as a bridge to a transplant.
- You must not have cardiogenic shock that requires special ECMO setups (VA or VAV).

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 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 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.
This trial tests a full-course strategy using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO) for people with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. The goal is to see if starting and continuing ECMO throughout treatment improves recovery.
This trial looks at how changes in lung pressure during breathing might affect recovery in patients with severe ARDS who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It could help doctors improve treatment for people with this serious lung condition.
This study tests a special way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people who are on ECMO (a machine that helps oxygenate the blood) for severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). The goal is to see if this approach helps protect the lungs and improve recovery.
