NCT ID NCT05795465
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called GEn-1124 in 52 adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung condition. The drug is given as an IV infusion twice daily for 5 days, starting as soon as possible after diagnosis. The main goal is to check if the drug is safe and tolerable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GEn-1124 (given as an intravenous infusion)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment to help control severe lung inflammation in ARDS patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all ARDS patients. The main goal is safety, not yet proven effectiveness.
