Filter by:The study will investigate the influence that extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) could have on the efficacy and persistance of efficacy of prone position in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Prone position will increase blood oxygenation in 75% of the cases and will be persistant in half of the cases. Unfortunately, no clinical criteria has been found correlated with efficacy. The quantity of lung edema, with increased lung weight, could be a determinant factor of efficacy and the persistance of the efficacy. EVLWi, assessed with the PiCCO2 device, reflects the quantity of fluid accumulated in interstitial and alveolar spaces. The hypothesis is that patients with higher EVLWi will have less efficacy of prone position in oxygenation and also that the beneficial effects of prone position will last shorter compared to patients with lower EVLWi.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of potential help in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), due to their anti-inflammatory properties. The investigators will analyze the effect of 3 iterative infusions of ex vivo expanded Wharton's Jelly MSCs (total dose 2.10^6/kg) in patients with ARDS due to COVID19, who require mechanical ventilation.
For the last years, studies have described the " Post-intensive care Syndrome " (PICS), which consists in alteration of quality of life, cognition, autonomy and psychological disorders within the months after intensive-care. Patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units are at high risks to develop PICS. The primary objective is to analyse the incidence of the post-traumatic stress disorder at 12 months after intensive-care for a COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
Vascular leakage following endothelial injury, responsible for interstitial and alveolar edema, is a major feature of pathogen induced acute lung injury. As acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to pandemic Covid-19 is associated with more than 60% mortality, controlling vascular leakage may be a major target to decrease the mortality associated with the spreading of the disease in France. FX06, a drug under clinical development containing fibrin-derived peptide beta15-42, is able to stabilize cell-cell interactions, thereby reducing vascular leak and mortality in several animal models, particularly during lipopolysaccharide-induced and dengue hemorrhagic shock . A phase I study was conducted in humans, with no specific adverse event detected with a dose up to 17.5 mg/kg. In a phase II randomized multicentre double-blinded trial in 234 patients suffering from ST+ acute coronary syndrome, FX06 treated patients exhibited a 58% decrease in the early necrotic core zone. Importantly, adverse events were highly comparable between groups, indicating a high safety profile for the drug . Lastly, the drug was used as a salvage therapy in a patient exhibiting a severe ARDS following EBOLA virus infection . Altogether, those data indicate that FX06 is well tolerated in humans and is a potent regulator of vascular leakage. Our hypothesis here is that FX06 may decrease pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability during ARDS following SARS-CoV-2 infection, thereby improving gas exchanges and the outcome of infected patients.
PrismaLung+ is indicated to provide extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study is intended for patients with increased levels of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in their blood and ≥ 18 years old, and will treat patients with mild or moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using PrismaLung+. The study will assess tidal volume reduction and confirm the safety of PrismaLung+.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of siltuximab compared with normal saline in combination with standard of care (SOC) in selected hospitalized patients with COVID-19 previously treated with corticosteroids or another respiratory virus infection associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
A double-blind, randomized, controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MSC (mesenchymal stromal cells) intravenous administration in patients with COVID-induced ARDS compared to a control arm.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intermittent, nearly vertical, patient positioning in a specialized upright bed, on outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are in the ICU.
With this study researchers want to find the highest safe dose of the soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC) Activator, BAY 1211163 and how safe and well the study drug works. Furthermore researchers want to gather information on the way the body absorbs, distributes and gets rid of the study drug given as increasing multiple doses by inhalation to patients who cannot breathe by their own and suffer from a type of lung failure that causes fluid to build up in the lungs making breathing difficult (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.
