Anti-TF Antibody (ALT-836) to Treat Septic Patients With Acute Lung Injury or Acute Respiratory...

SepsisAcute Lung Injury1 more

This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind, multi-center, Phase II clinical study to test the safety and efficacy of a recombinant chimeric anti-tissue factor antibody (ALT-836) versus placebo in patients with sepsis and acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). This study was divided into two parts and the first part of the study has been completed. In the first part of the study, sixty patients were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive one dose of the study drug or placebo. In the second part of the study, ninety patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive a multi-dose treatment regimen of single doses every 72 hours up to a maximum of 4 doses of the study drug or placebo, provided there are no safety concerns.

Poly-ICLC to Prevent Respiratory Viral Infections A Safety Study

InfluenzaSevere Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome3 more

This study will examine the safety of an experimental medication called Poly-ICLC, developed for preventing or reducing the severity of infections from influenza and other viruses acquired through the nose, mouth and lungs. The study is divided into two parts, in which Poly-ICLC is tested at different dose levels. Healthy people between 18 and 70 years of age who have no chronic medical problems may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following procedures: Part I Up to 7 days before Poly-ICLC administration: Medical history, physical examination and blood tests. Day 1: Nasal wash and Poly-ICLC administration. A small amount of salt water is placed into the front of the nose and then suctioned out. Poly-ICLC is then squirted into each nostril, one after the other, at a dose of 0.25, 0.5 or 1 mg. A small number of subjects are given a placebo (a solution with no active ingredient.) Subjects are observed in the clinic for 30 minutes after treatment. Day 2: Subjects receive a second nasal wash and repeat blood tests. They keep a diary card for 1 week, recording any drug side effects. Day 5: Subjects have repeat blood tests and a review of their diary card. The keep a diary card for another 3 weeks. Day 12: Subjects are contacted by phone to review their diary card. Day 28: Subjects are contacted by phone to review their diary card. Part II Up to 7 days before Poly-ICLC administration: Medical history, physical examination and blood tests. Day 1: Nasal wash and Poly-ICLC administration. Same as above for Part I participants. Day 3: Subjects receive a second dose of medication and are observed again for 30 minutes. Day 4: Subjects receive a second nasal wash and repeat blood tests. They keep a diary card for 1 week, recording any drug side effects. Day 7: Subjects have repeat blood tests and a review of their diary card. The keep a diary card for another 3 weeks. Day 14: Subjects are contacted by phone to review their diary card. Day 28: Subjects are contacted by phone to review their diary card.

Study of a Novel Technique of Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Failure...

Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The investigators have recently demonstrated the beneficial effects of combined high-frequency oscillation (HFO) and tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) on the respiratory physiology [1,2] of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (NCT00416260). Preliminary short-term survival results were also encouraging. Consequently, in the present clinical trial, the investigators intend to increase the size of the studied population, in order to evaluate the effect of HFO-TGI on survival with adequate statistical power. Furthermore, the investigators intend to elucidate the mechanism of the HFO-TGI-related physiological benefit.

Comparison of Two Methods of High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in Individuals With Acute Respiratory...

Respiratory Distress SyndromeAdult

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition that causes respiratory failure. Individuals with ARDS often require the use of an artificial breathing machine, known as a mechanical ventilator. High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is a form of mechanical ventilation that pumps small amounts of air into the lungs at a constant high rate. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of two HFOV methods in individuals with ARDS.

SURFAXIN® Treatment for Prevention of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) in Very Low Birth Weight...

Respiratory Distress SyndromeNewborn2 more

SURFAXIN® (lucinactant) treatment will be examined in very low birth weight infants to prevent development of chronic lung disease, commonly known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), in premature infants who have required continued intubation and received surfactants for the prevention or treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Efficacy Study of CytoSorb Hemoperfusion Device on IL-6 Removal in ARDS/ALI Patients With Sepsis...

Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeAcute Lung Injury1 more

The hypothesis of this study is use of CytoSorb hemoperfusion device as an adjunctive therapy to the standard of care in treating ARDS/ALI patients in the setting of sepsis will result in improved clearance of cytokines when compared to control patients receiving only the standard of care.

Extrapulmonary Interventional Ventilatory Support in Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome...

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

A prospective, randomized study will be performed investigating the effects of a pumpless extracorporeal interventional lung assist [iLA] on the implementation of a lung-protective ventilatory strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS] with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 200. The duration of ventilation, intensive care and hospital stay and in-hospital mortality will be investigated.

Mechanical Ventilation, Directed by Esophageal Pressure Measurements, in Patients With Acute Lung...

Acute Lung InjuryAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to see whether esophageal pressure (PES) measurements will allow the investigators to choose the best method of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute lung injury (ALI).

Nitric Oxide Administration for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

This research project is an open-label, randomized study for the use of Nitric Oxide in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The study examines whether nitric oxide (NO) treatment impacts the the P:F ratio (arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) divided by fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) in patients with ARDS. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether the order of NO therapy will have any effect on response, and evaluate the characteristics of patients who respond to NO compared to those who do not.
