Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn"

This trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of surfactant administration with thin catheter technique together with analgesic premedication in comparison with the established INSURE-strategy. It will provide valuable knowledge to improve clinical methodology and enhance lung protective treatment strategies for preterm infants.

To investigate the safety and tolerance of a single infusion of ProTrans® in subjects with "severe" respiratory complications associated with pneumonia caused by COVID-19, Influenza A, Metapneumovirus or RSV infection.

In this interventional clinical trial, researchers will administer electroacupuncture versus sham electroacupuncture to sepsis patients with ARDS and collect objective outcome measures. The study will be divided into 2 groups. The EA group will receive electroacupuncture and the SHAM-EA group will receive sham electroacupuncture. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on the synthesis of SPMs in sepsis patients with ARDS.

Neutrophil elastase (NE) released by neutrophils play an important role in inflammatory cascade and lung tissue injury of ARDS.Inhibition of NE is expected to prevent the pathophysiological process of ARDS and alleviate lung injury. Siverestat sodium is a specific inhibitor of NE, which has been proved by basic and observational clinical studies to be effective in alleviating lung injury of ARDS, but there is a lack of prospective multi-center randomized controlled clinical trials.Therefore, this study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of sivelestat sodium in the treatment of ARDS patients with SIRS in a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a time-cycled, pressure controlled, intermittent mandatory ventilation mode with extreme inverse I:E ratios. Currently it is considered as a non-conventional ventilatory mode. The investigators aim to compare APRV with conventional mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is often complicated by Right Ventricular Dysfunction (RVD), and the incidence can be as high as 64%. The mechanism includes pulmonary vascular dysfunction and right heart systolic dysfunction. Pulmonary vascular dysfunction includes acute vascular inflammation, pulmonary vascular edema, thrombosis and pulmonary vascular remodeling. Alveolar collapse and over distension can also lead to increased pulmonary vascular resistance, Preventing the development of acute cor pulmonale in patients with acute respiratory distress. ARDS patients with RVD have a worse prognosis and a significantly increased risk of death, which is an independent risk factor for death in ARDS patients. Therefore, implementing a right heart-protective mechanical ventilation strategy may reduce the incidence of RVD. APRV is an inverse mechanical ventilation mode with transient pressure release under continuous positive airway pressure, which can effectively improve oxygenation and reduce ventilator-associated lung injury. However, its effect on right ventricular function is still controversial. Low tidal volume (LTV) is a mechanical ventilation strategy widely used in ARDS patients. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with LTV, APRV improved oxygenation more significantly, reduced the time of mechanical ventilation, and even had a tendency to improve the mortality of ARDS patients However, randomized controlled studies have shown that compared with LTV, APRV improves oxygenation more significantly and also increases the mean airway pressure. Therefore, some scholars speculate that APRV may increase the intrathoracic pressure, pulmonary circulatory resistance, and the risk of right heart dysfunction but this speculation is not supported by clinical research evidence. In addition, APRV may improve right ventricular function by correcting hypoxia and hypercapnia, promoting lung recruitment and reducing pulmonary circulation resistance. Therefore, it is very important to clarify this effect for whether APRV can be safely used and popularized in clinic.we aim to conduct a single-center randomized controlled study to further compare the effects of APRV and LTV on right ventricular function in patients with ARDS, pulmonary circulatory resistance (PVR) right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PA coupling), and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).

This will be a prospective, multi-center, two-arms,parallel, randomized, controlled trial with a superiority design,conducted in China. The investigators conduct this multi-centre, randomized, controlled trial to test the hypothesis that NHFOV is more effective than nCPAP in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in infants with a gestational age of less than 28 weeks when used as a primary noninvasive ventilation (NIV) mode.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute lung injury and a major cause of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission worldwide. Despite a large number of randomized clinical trials, a specific and effective pharmacological approach for patients with ARDS is still lacking. Fibroproliferation is a crucial part of the host defence response, and severe fibrotic lung disease affects ARDS patients even years after acute phase resolution. Pirfenidone is an oral anti-fibrotic drug, approved and largely used for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The effect of Pirfenidone in ARDS has been evaluated only in animal models. This is a randomized controlled study to evaluate for the first time the efficacy of Pirfenidone in ARDS.

The purpose of our prospective monocentric, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of intravenous lidocaine on gas exchange and inflammation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due or not to Covid-19 pneumonia. Half of the patients will receive intravenous lidocaine and the other half will receive intravenous NaCl 0,9 % as placebo.

This study is a Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Phase Ib Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of STC314 Injection Administered as Continuous Intravenous Infusion in Chinese Patients with ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome).
