Acute lung injury

This study was designed to test whether an inhaled drug called ZYESAMI could help people with severe COVID-19 avoid getting worse and needing a ventilator. It was a Phase 3 trial, meaning it was in the final stage of testing. However, the study was withdrawn before any participan…

This study was designed to see if giving calcium right away to trauma patients who need large blood transfusions could help their blood clot better, reduce the need for more transfusions, and improve survival. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no resul…

This study compares two ways of giving breathing support (PEEP) to very premature babies right after birth. One method uses a steady pressure, the other starts high then lowers it. The goal is to see which approach reduces the chance of death or chronic lung disease. Over 900 bab…

This study tests a new heating device called Therm'Up to manage hypothermia in trauma patients. Hypothermia, when body temperature drops below 35°C, can worsen injuries and increase death risk. The trial will enroll 100 adults at risk of hypothermia due to trauma, cold exposure, …

This study tests whether robot-assisted leg exercises can prevent older patients from losing strength and independence during a hospital stay. 488 patients aged 65 and older will either receive robot-guided training or standard care. The goal is to see if the robot helps them wal…

This study tests a program designed to prevent opioid misuse in people hospitalized for a traumatic injury. Participants complete brief questionnaires about pain and opioid use risk, and receive enhanced care coordination based on their responses. The goal is to see if this adapt…

This study looks at whether a fall prevention discharge class can reduce repeat fall-related ER visits in adults aged 60 and older. Researchers will compare those who attended the class to those who did not. The goal is to see if this simple education step can help prevent future…

This study tests a communication tool called Best Case/Worst Case-ICU for older adults (50+) with serious injuries in the ICU. The tool helps doctors, patients, and families discuss possible outcomes and treatment options using simple graphics. Researchers will measure if it impr…

This trial tests whether a Pain and Coordination Plan (PAC-plan) can reduce opioid use and improve quality of life in adults who have had surgery after an accidental injury. Participants receive the plan at hospital discharge, which includes an opioid management plan, a follow-up…

This study tests a brief stepped care program for adults hospitalized after a traumatic injury who show signs of PTSD. The program starts in the hospital and aims to reduce PTSD symptoms and the number of emergency room visits over time. About 424 participants are involved, and t…

This study looks at how serious combat injuries affect the long-term health of U.S. military members. Researchers will measure heart function, sleep quality, and stress-related body signals in 200 injured service members. The goal is to understand links between injury severity, s…

This study aimed to compare three medicines (propofol, etomidate, and ketamine) given to adult trauma patients to help them breathe with a breathing tube. The goal was to see which drug leads to the best outcomes, like survival and fewer side effects. However, the study was withd…

This study tests whether a drug called racecadotril can reduce fluid leakage in skin blisters, as a model for what happens in the lungs during Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is a severe lung injury with no effective drug treatments, where patients' lungs fill wi…

This study looks at how the body's natural response to severe injury or major surgery can sometimes go wrong, leading to complications. Researchers will collect blood samples from 320 trauma patients and elective surgery patients to measure markers of inflammation and blood clott…

This observational registry will follow 5,000 adults with various wounds—like diabetic foot ulcers, burns, or surgical wounds—to see how different treatments (e.g., hydrocolloid, foam, silver dressings) perform in everyday medical settings. Researchers will measure wound healing,…

This study looks at 37 children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are on breathing machines. Researchers want to see if measuring certain inflammation markers in saliva works as well as measuring them in fluid from the lungs. If saliva works, it could lead to a …

This study is tracking over 600 people who received the GORE VIABAHN stent-graft as part of their normal medical care for conditions like peripheral artery disease or aneurysms. Researchers are monitoring how often serious device-related problems occur. The goal is to see how saf…

This study follows 432 adults who were in the ICU after a traumatic injury or burn. Researchers want to see if and why patients develop long-term problems with memory, thinking, and daily function. By tracking cognitive skills and inflammation over time, they hope to uncover link…

This study aims to see if a simple, non-invasive breathing test can accurately measure the acidity (pH) in the airways, which is often abnormal in lung diseases. Researchers will compare results from this breath test with standard methods in 150 healthy volunteers and people with…

This study will track 100 people with traumatic hand and wrist injuries at Sohag University Hospital in Egypt from October 2025 to April 2026. Researchers want to learn how these injuries happen and what the outcomes are. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatment is …

This study watches 200 people with lung, gut, or hormone diseases over time using special brain scans (PET). It aims to see how these diseases change brain activity and whether those changes can predict tumor return, spread, or survival. No new treatment is tested—just observatio…

This study looks at two ways of setting a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with sepsis who need help breathing. One method is personalized based on each patient's lung measurements, while the other is a standard approach. Researchers will use CT scans to see how air move…
