Effect of Inhaled Nitric Oxide Therapy in Adults With Moderate-to-Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Sponsor: Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), added to standard care, can reduce mortality in adults with moderate-to-severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does iNO therapy reduce 28-day all-cause mortality compared to standard care alone? Does iNO therapy increase the number of ventilator-free days through day 28? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the group receiving iNO plus standard care with the group receiving placebo plus standard care to see if iNO improves survival and other clinical outcomes. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either iNO or a placebo through the ventilator. Receive all other standard treatments for ARDS as per current guidelines. Be closely monitored for 28 days to track survival, time on the ventilator, and safety.

Inhaled Nitric Oxide Therapy
Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) delivered via the portable INOwill N200 system in addition to standard ARDS care. iNO administration will commence immediately upon enrollment, with its concentration set and titrated in accordance with established clinical practice guidelines.
