Summary

This study tests whether a drug called interferon gamma can help intensive care patients recover more quickly from pneumonia they got while on a breathing machine. The drug aims to boost the immune system, which is often weakened after severe illness or injury. About 132 adults will receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers will measure how many days they need the ventilator.
