Current management is largely supportive, and no pharmacologic therapy has been shown consistently to reduce mortality in a broad population of patients with ARDS. Inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of ARDS. Excessive inflammatory activation contributes to alveolar-capillary injury, impaired gas exchange, and progression of organ dysfunction. Glucocorticoids may mitigate these processes and have been associated in some studies with improved clinical outcomes, including shorter duration of mechanical ventilation. However, the effect of glucocorticoids on survival remains uncertain.\n\nARDS is a heterogeneous syndrome with diverse etiologies, and treatment response may vary according to the underlying cause. A post hoc analysis of the Dex-ARDS trial suggested that the treatment effect of glucocorticoids may be greater in ARDS caused by pneumonia or extrapulmonary sepsis. In a cross-sectional survey of 135 patients with ARDS from 20 ICUs in China, pneumonia- and extrapulmonary sepsis-associated ARDS accounted for 77.6% of cases, indicating that these are the predominant etiologic subtypes encountered in clinical practice in China. More importantly, compared with ARDS attributable to other causes, pneumonia- and extrapulmonary sepsis-associated ARDS has been associated with higher mortality, suggesting a greater disease burden, worse prognosis, and a more urgent need for improved treatment strategies. On this basis, the present trial will enroll patients with ARDS caused by sepsis, including pneumonia and extrapulmonary sepsis.\n\nThe primary hypothesis of this study is that, among patients with sepsis-associated ARDS, dexamethasone plus usual care, as compared with placebo plus usual care, will reduce 90-day all-cause mortality. We therefore designed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the clinical efficacy of dexamethasone in patients with sepsis-associated ARDS.

In these patients, setting the ventilator appropriately is essential to improve oxygenation while limiting ventilator-induced lung injury. One important ventilator setting is positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), which helps keep the lungs open. However, the optimal PEEP level may vary from one patient to another.\n\nThe recruitment-to-inflation ratio (R\u002FI ratio) is a bedside measurement used to estimate the potential for lung recruitment during a decrease in PEEP. It compares the compliance of the lung volume recruited by PEEP with the compliance of the already aerated lung. A higher R\u002FI ratio suggests that increasing PEEP is more likely to reopen collapsed lung units, whereas a lower R\u002FI ratio suggests limited recruitability and a higher likelihood that additional pressure would mainly distend lung areas that are already open. In clinical practice, the R\u002FI ratio is increasingly used to guide PEEP adjustment, with the aim of improving recruitment and oxygenation while avoiding unnecessary increases in airway pressure. However, although the R\u002FI ratio is used in routine care, there are currently no data demonstrating that this measurement is reproducible when repeated in the same patient under similar conditions.\n\nThe hypothesis of this study is that the R\u002FI ratio is reproducible when measured twice in the same patient under stable conditions, including no significant changes in ventilator settings, hemodynamic status, or ongoing treatments.\n\nThis prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study will include adult ICU patients with ARDS who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, deep sedation, and assist-control ventilation. For each patient, airway opening pressure will be assessed, and the R\u002FI ratio will be measured twice on the same day by a trained clinician, between 20 and 120 minutes apart, without changes in ventilator settings or treatments likely to influence the measurement.\n\nThe main objective is to evaluate the within-patient reproducibility of the R\u002FI ratio. Secondary objectives include describing changes in airway opening pressure and R\u002FI ratio over time, assessing the reproducibility of expired tidal volume during the maneuvers, and evaluating the clinical tolerance of these ventilatory measurements.\n\nThe study will include 80 patients across 4 French intensive care units.

However, in-hospital mortality remains high (between 35% and 45%). Notably, morbidity among surviving patients is very high and is largely dominated by neuropsychological sequelae. Attention and executive function disorders, confusion, disorientation, or memory impairment are thus found in 70 to 100% of patients following ARDS. These disorders are still present in 46 to 80% of surviving patients one year after ARDS and in 20% of them five years later.\n\nAlthough essential to treatment, mechanical ventilation carries a risk of significant complications. Beyond the risk of infection and complications related to sedation and neuromuscular blockade, the use of mechanical ventilation is associated with a risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).\n\nThe use of so-called protective ventilation reduces the risk of VILI and improves patient outcomes. However, analysis of relevant physiological parameters shows that the risk of VILI may still exist even when ventilator settings comply with recommendations and the concept of protective ventilation. Driving pressure (which represents Strain) is a good marker of VILI; it represents the distension of the lung with each breath relative to the initial lung volume. Values above 14 cmH₂O are associated with high mortality in patients with ARDS. Inspiratory transpulmonary pressure represents Stress-that is, the pressure that distends the alveoli at the end of inspiration-and is also associated with the risk of VILI. Finally, mechanical power represents the amount of energy delivered to the lung by the ventilator and has been validated as a marker of VILI. The advantage of mechanical power over the other indices described is that it incorporates all components that can lead to VILI.\n\nAmong the various sources of neurological damage during ARDS, inflammatory processes appear to play a major role. Numerous inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β) are secreted during ARDS, and animal studies have demonstrated a link between inflammation and hippocampal damage. Furthermore, cerebral ischemic lesions, exacerbated by systemic inflammation and endothelial activation leading to coagulation activation with thrombus formation, may also contribute to the development of cognitive impairments.\n\nIn addition to the inflammatory processes associated with ARDS, mechanical ventilation itself may have a significant impact on neuroinflammatory damage. Recently, the term \"ventilator-associated brain injury\" (VABI) has been proposed to describe these secondary neurological lesions induced by mechanical ventilation. Studies in mouse and pig models have demonstrated a relationship between the dose and duration of VILI, apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and neuronal damage. An animal study in mice also showed an association between the duration of mechanical ventilation and the onset of cognitive impairments.\n\nDuring brain injury, proteins and neurotransmitters are released and serve as biomarkers of brain damage. Elevated plasma levels of S100B protein indicate astrocyte damage caused by traumatic, anoxic-ischemic, or inflammatory mechanisms. It correlates with neurological prognosis following cardiac arrest, in ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes, in neurodegenerative diseases, and in patients with traumatic brain injury.\n\nClinical studies have shown a negative correlation between elevated S100B protein levels, the MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) score, and the MMSE (Mini-mental state evaluation ) in patients with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), respectively, indicating an association between this protein and cognitive impairment.\n\nThe investigators therefore hypothesize that mechanical ventilation associated with high mechanical power is linked to a significant risk of brain injury, reflected by elevated serum S100B protein levels and the presence of neurocognitive disorders long after ARDS.",[26,155,156,120,157],"s100b","Mechanical Power","Transpulmonary Pressure","2026-06-09",{"date":160,"type":35},"2026-06-10",{"date":162,"type":20},"2026-10-17",{"date":164,"type":20},"2029-10-23",{"name":166,"class":167},"University Hospital, Angers","OTHER_GOV",{"id":169,"slug":170,"hasResults":12,"nctId":171,"briefTitle":172,"officialTitle":173,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":174,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":51,"maxAge":175,"enrollmentInfo":176,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":178,"briefSummary":179,"conditions":180,"keywords":181,"overallStatus":31,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":184,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":185,"startDateStruct":187,"completionDateStruct":189,"leadSponsor":191,"locationsCount":4},"100633554","phase-3-study-of-xuanbai-shengmai-decoction-in-the-treatment-of-acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome-100633554","NCT07528196","Study of Xuanbai Shengmai Decoction in the Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome","Clinical Collaboration Project of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Major and Intractable Diseases - A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial of Xuanbai Shengmai Decoction in the Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Despite advances in care, hospital mortality remains high, ranging from 34% in mild cases to 46% in severe ARDS. Positive-pressure MV remains the cornerstone of ARDS management. However, when excessive stress and strain are applied to the lung parenchyma, it can exacerbate lung injury, leading to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). VILI substantially contributes to morbidity and mortality in ARDS. Strategies that reduce tidal volume (Vt), driving pressure (ΔP, defined as plateau pressure minus PEEP), and respiratory rate (RR) can lower the mechanical power (PowerRS), i.e., the energy delivered to the lungs by the ventilator. This reduction in pulmonary stress and strain may lessen VILI and potentially improve survival. Nonetheless, reducing Vt to \\\u003C6 ml\u002Fkg in order to achieve plateau pressures \\\u003C23-25 cm H₂O, driving pressures \\\u003C9-11 cm H₂O, and RR \\\u003C15-20\u002Fmin can result in severe hypercapnia. This, in turn, may increase intracranial pressure, promote pulmonary hypertension, impair myocardial contractility, reduce renal perfusion, and trigger endogenous catecholamine release. Thus, such \"ultraprotective\" MV strategies are not feasible for most ARDS patients managed with conventional ventilation. The neutral findings of the REST trial further suggested that low-flow extracorporeal CO₂ removal (ECCO₂R) devices may provide insufficient CO₂ clearance to enable ultraprotective ventilation while adequately controlling respiratory acidosis. Moreover, since partial lung derecruitment may occur with substantial Vt reduction, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be necessary, particularly in patients with PaO₂\u002FFiO₂ \\\u003C120-130 at the time of Vt reduction. Therefore, respiratory extracorporeal life support (ECLS)-ranging from high-flow ECCO₂R to mid-flow venovenous ECMO (VV-ECMO)-can be employed in this setting. These modalities facilitate further reductions in ventilatory intensity while ensuring adequate oxygenation and CO₂ removal.",[26],[513,514],"ECLS","Acute Respiratory Distress Syndorme (ARDS)","2026-04-09",{"date":491,"type":35},{"date":238,"type":20},{"date":519,"type":20},"2028-08",{"name":102,"class":42},{"id":522,"slug":523,"hasResults":12,"nctId":524,"briefTitle":525,"officialTitle":526,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":527,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":51,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":528,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":529,"briefSummary":530,"conditions":531,"keywords":532,"overallStatus":31,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":515,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":536,"startDateStruct":537,"completionDateStruct":539,"leadSponsor":541,"locationsCount":4},"100457781","phase-2-multicentric-randomized-study-to-assess-safety-and-efficacy-of-centhaquine-in-patients-with-ards-100457781","NCT05241067","Multicentric, Randomized Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Centhaquine in Patients With ARDS","A Multicentric, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Centhaquine as an Adjuvant to the Standard of Care in Patients With Moderate to Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)","Inclusion Criteria:\n\nA subject will be eligible for inclusion in the study if he\u002Fshe fulfills the following criteria:\n\n1.

It is a rapidly progressive form of respiratory failure and accounts for approximately 10% of admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) and has a high mortality (40%) in severe cases. Globally, approximately 3 million ARDS cases are reported each year, with around 200,000 cases seen in the United States.\n\nThe etiology of ARDS could be pulmonary or extra-pulmonary. Patients with ARDS have symptoms like difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath, and cyanosis, and they may require assisted breathing\u002Fventilatory support\u002Fextracorporeal membrane oxygenation. About 25% of ARDS patients need mechanical ventilation to support breathing; however, a ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is known to further exacerbate ARDS in many of them. In recent decades, numerous efforts have been made to develop therapies for treating\u002Fmanaging ARDS. Unfortunately, they have been largely unsuccessful or inconclusive, and at present, no effective pharmacological therapy for ARDS is available. Hence, development of better therapeutics for ARDS is an unmet need.\n\nCenthaquine is a first-in-class resuscitative agent for hypovolemic shock approved for marketing in India. Centhaquine has been found to be an effective resuscitative agent in rat, rabbit, and swine models of hemorrhagic shock. Its safety and tolerability have been demonstrated in a human phase I study in 25 subjects (CTRI\u002F2014\u002F06\u002F004647). Results from multicentric, randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled clinical phase II (CTRI\u002F2017\u002F03\u002F008184) and phase III (CTRI\u002F2019\u002F01\u002F017196) studies conducted in India indicate that centhaquine is a novel, first-in-class, highly effective resuscitative agent for hypovolemic shock. A total of 155 patients with hypovolemic shock have been studied in the combined phase II and III trials, while a multicentric phase IV study (NCT05956418) in 400 patients with hypovolemic shock is currently being conducted in India. The outcomes of the completed trials indicate that centhaquine is safe and reduces mortality significantly (P=0.0271) compared to standard treatment of hypovolemic shock. In the phase II and III studies, ARDS and MODS were evaluated as secondary endpoints. Centhaquine provided hemodynamic stability and significantly reduced ARDS and multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS) in patients enrolled in these trials, which suggests that centhaquine has potential beyond treating hypovolemic shock and could be useful for ARDS treatment. Centhaquine is likely to provide hemodynamic stability, improve tissue oxygenation, reduce pulmonary edema, reduce ARDS score, and reduce MODS in patients with ARDS.",[26],[123,533,534,535],"Resuscitation","Centhaquine","Hypoxia",{"date":491,"type":35},{"date":538,"type":20},"2026-05",{"date":540,"type":20},"2026-12-31",{"name":542,"class":290},"Pharmazz, Inc.",{"id":544,"slug":545,"hasResults":12,"nctId":546,"briefTitle":547,"officialTitle":548,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":549,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":51,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":550,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":84,"phases":4,"briefSummary":551,"conditions":552,"keywords":553,"overallStatus":209,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":558,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":559,"startDateStruct":561,"completionDateStruct":563,"leadSponsor":565,"locationsCount":567},"100631749","trunk-inclination-positive-end-expiratory-pressure-and-lung-recruitability-100631749","NCT07504731","Trunk Inclination, Positive End-expiratory Pressure, and Lung Recruitability","Impact of Trunk Inclination on Lung Mechanics According to PEEP and Reruitability","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Intubated moderate and severe ARDS according to the Berlin definition (PaO2\u002FFiO2 ratio \\\u003C= 200 mmHg)\n* Under continuous sedation with or without paralysis\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age \\\u003C18 years\n* Bronchopleural fistula\n* Pure COPD exacerbation\n* Contraindication to EIT monitoring (e.g. burns, pacemaker, thoracic wounds limiting electrode belt placement)\n* Hemodynamic instability (Systolic BP \\\u003C 75 mmHg or MAP \\\u003C 60 mmHg despite vasopressors and\u002For heart rate \\\u003C 55 bpm)\n* Contraindications to mobilization (e.g., intracranial hypertension, spinal cord injury)\n* Intra-abdominal hypotension (IAP≥12mmHg)\n* Pregnancy\n* Attending physician deems the transient application of high airway pressures to be unsafe",{"count":291,"type":20},"This multicenter, physiological, observational study hypothesizes that in moderate to severe ARDS, trunk inclination unloads the chest wall, but its impact on lung mechanics depends on PEEP levels and lung recruitability.",[26],[554,555,556,557],"trunk inclination","lung mechanics","positive end-expiratory pressure","lung recruitability","2026-03-25",{"date":560,"type":35},"2026-04-01",{"date":562,"type":35},"2026-03-20",{"date":564,"type":20},"2027-04-30",{"name":566,"class":42},"Zhongda Hospital",3,{"id":569,"slug":570,"hasResults":12,"nctId":571,"briefTitle":572,"officialTitle":573,"acronym":574,"eligibilityCriteria":575,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":576,"maxAge":577,"enrollmentInfo":578,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":580,"briefSummary":581,"conditions":582,"keywords":586,"overallStatus":209,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":594,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":595,"startDateStruct":597,"completionDateStruct":599,"leadSponsor":601,"locationsCount":43},"100602473","phase-2-pediatric-acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome-ards-management-trial-100602473","NCT07123961","Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Management Trial","Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Management (PARMA) Trial","PARMA","Inclusion:\n\n1. age \\> 2 weeks (\\> 38 weeks corrected gestational age) and \\\u003C 18 years (not yet had 18th birthday)\n2. acute (≤ 7 days of risk factor) respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation\n3. ventilated with endotracheal tube or tracheostomy for ≤ 7 days from risk factor onset\n4. hypoxemia defined as PaO2\u002FFIO2 (measurement of the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma\u002Fconcentration of inhaled oxygen) \\> 300 (or SpO2\u002FFIO2 (measurement of the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that is carrying oxygen\u002Fconcentration of inhaled oxygen) \\> 315 on Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) ≥ 5 cmH2O (rate of pressure delivery) on two consecutive measurements 4 hours apart and sustained at the time of consent and randomization\n5. bilateral opacities on chest radiograph as determined by radiologist, clinical attending, or PI\n\nExclusion:\n\n1. hypoxemia caused primarily by hydrostatic pulmonary edema from heart failure or fluid overload\n2. non-palliated or unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease\n3. ventilated via tracheostomy at baseline prior to acute illness\n4. obstructive airway disease determined to be the primary cause of respiratory failure\n5. severe moribund state not expected to survive \\> 72 hours\n6. any limitations of care at time of screening\n7. escalation to high frequency oscillatory ventilation or extracorporeal support (i.e., meeting PARMA protocol failure criteria) at time of screening\n8. previous enrollment in this study","2 Weeks","17 Years",{"count":579,"type":20},160,[274],"Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening lung condition that can affect children.
