Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn"

Two-center, randomised controlled, cross-over clinical trial in preterm infants born at gestational age below 34+1/7 weeks receiving supplemental oxygen and respiratory support (Continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) or Invasive Ventilation (IV)). Routine manual control (RMC) of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) will be tested against RMC supported by closed-loop automatic control (CLAC) with "slow"-algorithm and RMC supported by CLAC with "fast"-algorithm. The primary hypothesis is, that the use of the "faster" algorithm results in more time within arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) target range compared to RMC only. The a-priori subordinate hypothesis is, that the faster algorithm is equally effective as the slower algorithm to maintain the SpO2 in the target range.

Bubble - Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been reported to be effective, cheaper, simpler and more accessible compared to mechanical ventilator and surfactant treatment for preterms with respiratory distress syndrome in the neighbouring countries. This study aims to implement and determine the effectiveness of bCPAP and its immediate outcomes compared to oxygen therapy in preterm babies presenting with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Premature infants frequently have trouble breathing after birth. If the respiratory disorder is caused by surfactant deficiency or dysfunction, the disease is treated with a medication called surfactant that is given to the infant through a tube inserted into the windpipe. This study will compare the safety of two of the commonly used surfactants, poractant and calfactant,in the United States. Poractant has added chemicals called phospholipids which are known to cause inflammation and irritation in the body of premature infants. The investigators will compare this to another similar surfactant that does not contain these chemicals by looking at samples from the windpipe, while the tube is in place, and from blood tests in the first few days of life. The investigators are hoping to learn whether calfactant is a safer therapeutic agent to treat respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants compared to poractant.

The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is one of common clinical critically diseases. In the United States, the incidence of ARDS reaches 31%, which is one of the main causes of death in patients. There is no unified treatment process for ARDS currently and the treatment measures are not yet standardized, so the standardization of ARDS treatment processes is needed to reduce mortality in patients. Following the evidence-based medicine principles and six-step treatment standards of ARDS, this study uses the method of multi-center randomized controlled clinical trials to evaluate the standardized treatment process of ARDS, which provides the basis for the standardized treatment of ARDS.

A randomized, double blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, parallel group, fixed dose, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glenzocimab in ARDS.

Prospective, physiological study to systematically assess the effects of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with and without inspiratory synchronization in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) exhibiting intense inspiratory effort while on assisted ventilation.

This clinical trial will enroll participants that have pneumonia caused by the COVID-19 virus. During the study patients will receive 7 to up to 14 days of defibrotide. After completing the treatment, participants will have 30 day follow-up check-up to assess for adverse events and clinical status. This final assessment can be done virtually, by telephone or electronically (email) if the patient cannot be contacted by phone. No in-person visit is required. The hypothesis of this trial is that defibrotide therapy given to patients with severe SARS-CoV2 ARDS will be safe and associated with improved overall survival, within 28 days of therapy initiation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vadadustat for the prevention and treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in hospitalized patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

To demonstrate the efficacy of VERU-111 in the treatment of SARS-Cov-2 Infection by assessing its effect on the proportion of subjects that are alive without respiratory failure at Day 22. Respiratory failure is defined as non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen, intubation and mechanical ventilation, or ventilation with additional organ support (e.g., pressors, RRT, ECMO).

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of volume targeted vs. pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation (MV) on circulatory parameters and cerebral oxygenation in the extremely preterm infants.
