18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Clinical diagnosis of ARDS:

  • Chest x-ray: bilateral pulmonary infiltrates
  • Hypoxemia: PaO2:FIO2 ratio <200
  • Volume status: wedge and CVP<18

Main inclusion criteria:

  • Adults (≥18 years of age), non-pregnant
  • On mechanical ventilatory support

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Inadequate medical history for determining inclusion/exclusion criteria, as determined by the Principal Investigator and/or Sub-Investigators.
  2. Unlikely to complete the protocol with clinic follow-up after discharge, as determined by the Principal Investigator and/or Sub-Investigators or hospice status.
  3. Active drug/alcohol use with positive drug screen or alcohol level on admission.
  4. Prior history of thyroid cancer or hyperthyroidism, per thorough patient/family interviews, review of past medical history, medication list, laboratory test.
  5. Prior history of cardiovascular disease including:

    1. Hypertensive crisis in the past 3 months (systolic >200, or diastolic >120 mmHg),
    2. Sustained ventricular arrhythmia in the past 3 months (duration > 30 seconds)
    3. Coronary artery disease (documented >50% occlusion in any coronary vessel)
    4. Cardiac-related angina pectoris (> 2 episodes in the past 3 months)
    5. Myocardial infarction with ischemia on ECG (i.e., new ST-elevation/depression of >1mm in contiguous leads), or positive cardiac enzymes (Ratio of CK-MB: Total CK > 3.5).
    6. Peripheral vascular disease (documented >50% occlusion in any peripheral vessel).
    7. Moderate or severe ischemic/non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (documented ejection fraction < 40%).
    8. Decompensated or symptomatic heart failure (i.e., hospitalized for CHF exacerbation, or a change in CHF medications within two weeks prior)
  6. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  7. Currently taking tricyclic antidepressants, glycosides, ketamine, or vasopressors with ongoing evidence of myocardial ischemia.
  8. Known allergy to study drug.

Arms of the Study

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Active treatment

Control arm

Arm Description

Liothyronine Sodium (T3), 5-10-25-50µg instilled directly into the airways in a total volume of 10 ml (T3+0.9% sodium chloride). Progressive dosing every 24 hours for total 96 hours.

Standard of Care

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI)
EVLWI is calculated as ml of extravascular lung water fluid reported by VolumeView system (Edwards Lifesciences) divided by patient's body weight in kg. EVLWI will be measured at baseline and 1 hour post T3 installation to calculate change in EVLWI. Lower EVLWI values indicate greater treatment efficacy.
Change in Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI)
EVLWI is calculated as ml of extravascular lung water fluid reported by VolumeView system (Edwards Lifesciences) divided by patient's body weight in kg. EVLWI will be measured at baseline and 12 hours post T3 installation to calculate change in EVLWI. Lower EVLWI values indicate greater treatment efficacy.
Change in Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI)
EVLWI is calculated as ml of extravascular lung water fluid reported by VolumeView system (Edwards Lifesciences) divided by patient's body weight in kg. EVLWI will be measured at baseline and 24 hours post T3 installation to calculate change in EVLWI. Lower EVLWI values indicate greater treatment efficacy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Arterial Oxygenation
Arterial partial pressure of oxygen will be sampled by arterial catheter (reported as mmHg) upon admission and then 24 hours after the first dose of T3 to calculate change in arterial partial pressure of oxygen. Increased arterial partial pressure of oxygen indicates greater treatment efficacy.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
It is hypothesized that instillation of (T3) into the airspace will increase alveolar fluid clearance in patients with ARDS, resulting in reduced extravascular lung water (EVLW).
Detailed Description
Randomized, unblinded, intervention versus non-intervention trial Purpose: To determine the safety and tolerability of T3 delivery into the lungs of ARDS patients, and to measure the effect of T3 on EVLW index in ARDS patients. Liothyronine Sodium (T3), 5-10-25-50µg will be instilled via catheter through ETT into the airways in a total volume of 10 ml (T3+0.9% sodium chloride) over 4 days (96 hours) with progressive dosing. 68 participants [50 treatment + 18 controls] will be investigated over 18 months or until target enrollment is achieved. No research intervention will occur with control subjects. Control subjects will receive standard of care.
