Pneumonia

This small Phase 2 trial tested an experimental drug called Auxora in 10 patients with critical COVID-19 pneumonia who were on ventilators. The goal was to see how the drug affected immune cells in the lungs and to check its safety. The study was terminated early, so results are …

This phase 3 trial tests whether an inhaled combination of budesonide (a corticosteroid) and formoterol (a bronchodilator) can prevent acute respiratory failure in hospitalized adults with pneumonia and low blood oxygen levels. Participants receive either the active treatment or …

This early-phase trial tested a new therapy called CYNK-001, which uses natural killer cells from the placenta to fight COVID-19. It enrolled only 7 adults with moderate COVID-19. The study was terminated early, so we have limited information on safety and effectiveness.

This study tested whether giving the heart medication metoprolol through a vein could help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) in the ICU. The goal was to see if it helped them breathe without a machine for more days. However, the trial was stopped early and only 14 people too…

This early-phase trial tested whether inhaling low doses of carbon monoxide could be safe for people with severe lung injury caused by sepsis. Only 5 participants were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if a personalized dosing formula could safely a…

This study tested whether adding reparixin to standard care could prevent death or the need for a breathing machine in 414 hospitalized adults with COVID-19 or other pneumonia. The trial was stopped early. Researchers compared reparixin to a placebo to see if it reduced severe ou…

This study tested whether the antibiotic ceftolozane-tazobactam, guided by a rapid molecular test, could effectively treat serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in people with blood cancers or those who had a stem cell transplant. The 17 participants received the antibiotic t…

This Phase 2 trial tested the drug silmitasertib (CX-4945) plus standard care in adults with pneumonia caused by COVID-19 or influenza. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce the need for hospitalization or prevent death. The study planned to enroll 120 people but was termi…

This study tested whether giving antibiotics early to ICU patients who may have inhaled stomach contents could prevent pneumonia and improve recovery. Only 5 patients were enrolled before the trial was stopped early. The results are too limited to draw any conclusions about wheth…

This study looked at whether giving vitamin C to elderly patients hospitalized with pneumonia could improve their breathing and daily function. Only 9 people took part before the study was stopped early. Because it was so small, we can't say if vitamin C helps or not.

This study aimed to see if skipping a type of muscle relaxant during general anesthesia could lower the risk of serious lung complications in high-risk surgery patients. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only 3 participants, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn.…

This study followed 83 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who were starting standard treatments. The goal was to collect information to help develop a digital tool that can spot early signs of pneumonitis/ILD, a serious lung inflammation that can occur as a side effe…

This study looked at how mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) affects the energy centers (mitochondria) of immune cells in patients with severe lung infections and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers aimed to understand why some patients get worse despi…

This study looked at how certain immune cells, called non-conventional T cells, behave in patients with severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers collected blood and airway samples from 258 intensive care unit patients to track these cells over …

This study tested a special band called AirGo to monitor breathing patterns in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure. The goal was to see if the band could detect early signs of worsening breathing, helping doctors decide when to use a breathing tube. The study …

This early-phase study tested the safety and tolerability of an experimental drug called iCP-NI in 24 healthy adults. Participants received either the drug or a placebo by intravenous infusion. The trial was terminated, so no conclusions about effectiveness can be drawn.
