Calfactant for Direct Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Pneuma Pharmaceuticals Incorporated

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00682500

Purpose

This study will determine if administration of an suspension of calfactant, a lung surfactant, intratracheally in patients with Direct Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome within 48 hours of requiring mechanical ventilation can decrease the mortality in patients with lethal disease and shorten the course of respiratory failure in patients with sub-lethal disease.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental Calfactant treatment	Drug: Calfactant Intratracheal Instillation of 0.5 mL/cm of height of 60 mg/mL suspension in two aliquots at study entry. Repeat dosing 12 hours later if criteria are met.
