NCT ID NCT06814340

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving the lungs a near-complete rest (apneic ventilation) early after starting ECMO helps people with the most severe form of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). About 280 participants will be randomly assigned to either near-apneic ventilation or standard ultra-protective lung ventilation. The goal is to see if this approach reduces lung injury, shortens time on ECMO, and improves survival at 60 days.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome refractory to conventional therapy placed on VV-ECMO support in the 48 hours (maximum tolerance : +2h) preceding inclusion. 2. Obtain informed consent from a close relative or surrogate. According to the specifications of emergency inclusion, randomization without the close relative/surrogate consent could be performed if the patient is unable to give his/her consent and when the close relative/surrogate/family member are absent. Close relative/surrogate/family member consent will be asked as soon as possible after randomization. The patient will be asked as soon as possible to give his/her consent for the continuation of the trial when his/her condition will allow. 3. French Social security registration (except AME) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Age \< 18 2. Pregnancy or breastfeeding 3. Initiation of VV-ECMO \> 48 h (maximum tolerance : +2h) 4. Cardiac arrest with cumulated no flow time \&amp;gt;10 minutes before ECMO (within 48 hours prior to inclusion) 5. Irreversible neurological pathology 6. End-stage chronic lung disease 7. Contraindications for high PEEP level: untreated pneumothorax, barotrauma 8. Irreversible ARDS with no hope for lung function recovery 9. Patient moribund on the day of randomization, SAPS II \&amp;gt;90 10. Liver cirrhosis (Child B or C) 11. Lung transplantation 12. Burns on more than 20 % of the body surface 13. Participation in another interventional study with a similar primary endpoint (mortality, lung transplantation, or duration of ECMO) or being in the exclusion period at the end of a previous study 14. Individuals under guardianship, or permanently legally incompetent adults
