Early Insulin Therapy and Development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Insulin for Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a severe lung condition that causes respiratory failure. Symptoms usually develop within 24 to 48 hours of an original injury or illness, and people with ALI/ARDS typically require care in the intensive care unit (ICU). Little is known about how to prevent the onset of ALI/ARDS. The purpose of this study is to examine if early infusions of insulin, known as intensive insulin therapy (IIT), can help prevent ALI/ARDS in hospitalized patients with high levels of blood sugars and severe infections.
