Summary

This study tracks how often people get voice box injuries after having a breathing tube for 1 to 7 days in the ICU. It also tests whether a 14-day course of budesonide and azithromycin can help heal those injuries and improve breathing. About 64 adults who had a breathing tube will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
budesonide and azithromycin
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment to speed healing of voice box injuries from breathing tubes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply widely. The drugs may not improve symptoms.
