New drug aims to reduce deaths from severe lung failure
NCT ID NCT05947955
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called recombinant human plasma gelsolin (rhu-pGSN) added to standard care for people with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by pneumonia or other infections. About 600 hospitalized adults will receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers will measure how many survive at 28 days, how many days they need a ventilator, and other outcomes. The goal is to see if this drug can improve survival and recovery.
