Scientists peek inside lungs to decode immune system in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT05767671
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how certain white blood cells (macrophages) in the lungs respond to inflammation in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) who are on breathing machines. Researchers will collect lung fluid samples and blood to compare immune responses from different causes of ARDS. The goal is to better understand how the body turns off inflammation and repairs lung damage, which could guide future treatments.
