Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome clinical trials at University of California Health

10 in progress, 7 open to eligible people

Showing trials for
  • JUST BREATHE, Breathing Life Into Innovative Therapies for ARDS (Master Record)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This is a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of host-directed therapeutics in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) utilizing a platform trial design. Participants will be randomized to receive either a placebo or one of the active treatments. This record describes the default procedures and analyses for all cohorts. Each specific cohort may have additional eligibility requirements, safety and efficacy procedures, or endpoints, which will be described in the corresponding intervention-specific records on clinicaltrials.gov listed below in the detailed description.

  • Precision Ventilation vs Standard Care for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this interventional study is to compare standard mechanical ventilation to a lung-stress oriented ventilation strategy in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Participants will be ventilated according to one of two different strategies. The main question the study hopes to answer is whether the personalized ventilation strategy helps improve survival.

  • STimulation to Activate RespIration

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label Phase 2 feasibility trial. Subjects on mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) with lung injury (including subjects who meet criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)) will be randomized 2:1 to diaphragm neurostimulation-assisted ventilation (DNAV) using the AeroNova System plus lung-protective ventilation (Treatment) vs. lung-protective ventilation alone (Control).

  • APS Phenotyping Study

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of the observational APS phenotyping study is to better understand risk factors, potential biomarkers, length and severity of illness, and recovery for adults with ARDS, pneumonia, and/ or sepsis. This study will also generate a biobank of specimens collected from these patients that will be available to investigators for future studies of ARDS, sepsis, and/or pneumonia.

  • Personalized Ventilator Settings for Patients on ECMO

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    While mechanical ventilation can be used to sustain life in those with lung injury, it, can further worsen lung injury or prevent lung healing resulting in high morbidity and mortality as seen in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the highest level of life support also known as the heart-lung machine, investigators may minimize injury from mechanical ventilation to allow the lungs to heal; however, the optimal ventilator strategies while on ECMO are unknown. This study will evaluate personalized ventilator strategy compared to standard of care ventilation.

  • Precision Medicine Adaptive Network Platform Trial in Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    The goal of this trial is to accelerate the development of pharmacological therapies for critical illness by identifying biological sub phenotypes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The trial will stratify participants by biological markers into different sub phenotypes, then randomized 1:1:1 to active treatment 1, active treatment 2, or usual care. Initial stratification will be into hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory sub phenotypes in ARDS based on plasma biomarker profiles. Regular adaptive analyses will enable efficient identification of treatment effects within each sub phenotype, stopping interventions where there is evidence of efficacy or futility, and bringing in new interventions and potentially new sub phenotypes.

  • ARDS in Children and ECMO Initiation Strategies Impact on Neurodevelopment (ASCEND)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    ASCEND researchers are partnering with families of children who receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after a sudden failure of breathing named pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). ECMO is a life support technology that uses an artificial lung outside of the body to do the lung's work. ASCEND has two objectives. The first objective is to learn more about children's abilities and quality of life among ECMO-supported children in the year after they leave the pediatric intensive care unit. The second objective is to compare short and long-term patient outcomes in two groups of children: one group managed with a mechanical ventilation protocol that reserves the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) until protocol failure to another group supported on ECMO per usual care.
