Clinical Trial: BALance: ARDS Deconvolution by Bronchoalveolar Lavage Multiomics and Radiomics

U.S., June 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07633366) titled 'BALance: ARDS Deconvolution by Bronchoalveolar Lavage Multiomics and Radiomics' on May 11.

Brief Summary: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major contributor to ICU mortality and is characterised by hypoxaemia and pulmonary oedema. Pathomechanisms include barrier breakdown, immunopathology, haemostatic derailment and dysbiosis; however, the actual sequence of events and how they cumulatively lead to lung failure remains unclear. Although ARDS is frequently triggered by pneumonia, it can also occur as a result of trauma, aspiration or non-pulmonary causes. Importantly, ARDS is highly heterogeneous; growing evidence point...
