What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study looks at whether lying on the side at different angles can improve lung function in people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. About 140 adult patients will be randomly placed in either the standard face-down position or a side-lying position at 30°, 90°, or 120°. Doctors will use a special imaging tool (electrical impedance tomography) to see how air moves in the lungs and how well oxygen gets into the blood. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to help ARDS patients breathe and reduce the risk of death.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \>= 18 years. 2. Diagnosis of ARDS according to the Berlin Definition (2023 update). 3. Clinically evaluated as suitable for positional therapy by physicians. 4. Signed informed consent obtained from the patient or legal representative. 5. Absence of severe spinal deformities or musculoskeletal disorders that may compromise safe high lateral positioning. 6. No severe skin conditions (e.g., extensive open wounds or pressure ulcers) that may affect the feasibility of lateral positioning. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or lactating women. 2. Severe cardiac diseases (e.g., unstable arrhythmia or heart failure) that may worsen with positional changes. 3. Severe coagulation disorders with increased bleeding risk. 4. Known allergy to the EIT device or any of its components. 5. Severe psychiatric disorders impairing study compliance. 6. Current participation in experimental therapies that may affect pulmonary function. 7. Severe active infections requiring special isolation measures. 8.
