Critical Illness clinical trials at UCSF

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Critical illness includes diseases that need urgent and intensive treatment. UCSF is doing research to check if lung ventilation strategies can be improved for people with serious breathing issues. This includes a study comparing standard ventilators with a technique focused on lung stress.

  • Precision Ventilation vs Standard Care for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this interventional study is to compare standard mechanical ventilation to a lung-stress oriented ventilation strategy in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Participants will be ventilated according to one of two different strategies. The main question the study hopes to answer is whether the personalized ventilation strategy helps improve survival.

  • APS Phenotyping Study

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    The goal of the observational APS phenotyping study is to better understand risk factors, potential biomarkers, length and severity of illness, and recovery for adults with ARDS, pneumonia, and/ or sepsis. This study will also generate a biobank of specimens collected from these patients that will be available to investigators for future studies of ARDS, sepsis, and/or pneumonia.
