What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled platform trial to study the safety and effectiveness of host-directed treatments in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This trial compares investigational drugs against placebo while all participants continue to receive standard ARDS care. Each treatment is evaluated within its own group, and additional specific criteria and procedures may apply for each drug cohort. Participants are assigned to one of several groups receiving either vilobelimab, paridiprubart, bevacizumab, or placebo. Vilobelimab is given intravenously up to six times on specific days if the patient remains hospitalized. Paridiprubart and bevacizumab are administered as single intravenous doses on the first day. The treatment period begins on Day 1 and continues through hospital discharge. Following discharge, participants are followed for up to 90 days plus two weeks. During the study, participants undergo physical exams, lab tests including biomarker collection, ECG, chest imaging, and complete questionnaires until Day 90. Researchers monitor outcomes such as survival rates, oxygenation improvements, ventilator use, hospital and ICU stays, and functional status using WHO and Karnofsky scales. Safety is closely tracked through the incidence and severity of adverse events. Overall participation lasts about 90 days, including screening, treatment, and follow-up phases.

  • Expected survival less than 72 hours
  • More than 48 hours on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO for ARDS at consent
  • Clinical condition making ventilation withdrawal unlikely
  • Severe COPD requiring continuous home oxygen or mechanical ventilation (except CPAP or BiPAP for sleep apnea)
  • Interstitial lung disease or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis needing continuous home oxygen
  • NY Heart Association Class IV congestive heart failure
  • Allergy to study medications or their ingredients
  • Receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapy for cancer or transplant rejection (with exceptions at investigator discretion)
  • Undergoing active cancer chemotherapy
  • Use of investigational immunomodulator or immunosuppressant drugs within 5 half-lives or 30 days before randomization
  • Active tuberculosis, active Hepatitis B, or HIV with low CD4 count or high viral load
  • Use of other investigational drugs within 30 days before consent
  • Recent abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal issues, or poor wound healing after major surgery
  • Considered unsuitable for the study by the investigator
  • May have additional cohort-specific requirements
