Heart drug fails to prove benefit for lung failure patients in early-stop trial
NCT ID NCT05847517
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 took part, so no clear conclusions can be drawn.
