Summary

This trial aims to test the effectiveness and safety of a new treatment called rhu-pGSN when added to standard care for patients with moderate-to-severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with moderate-to-severe ARDS due to pneumonia or other infections, who are on mechanical ventilation or receiving high-flow oxygen. They must have had acute lung failure within the past 48 hours and show specific signs on chest imaging. Women of childbearing age and men with partners at risk of pregnancy must use reliable contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests rhu-pGSN, a potential new treatment for ARDS, against a saline placebo. Both groups receive standard care as well. Participants are randomly assigned to either the test drug or placebo without knowing which one they're getting (double-blind).
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, participants should be aware that any new medication can cause unexpected reactions ranging from mild symptoms like headaches or nausea to more serious conditions affecting organs.
