Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–85 with laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection who meet the new global ARDS definition and have PaO2/FiO2 ≤200 mmHg within the specified symptom-to-randomization time windows are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients already receiving ECMO before the first dose, those with non‑viral causes of ARDS, or those outside the enrollment time windows are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 trial compares STSA-1002 injection with placebo in adults aged 18–85 who have a laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection and meet the new global definition of ARDS with PaO2/FiO2 ≤200 mmHg. Eligible participants must be within specified windows from symptom onset to randomization or have recent worsening of respiratory symptoms. Participants receive either STSA-1002 or placebo and are monitored for safety, tolerability, and clinical respiratory outcomes. The trial is conducted at three tertiary hospitals in China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, STSA-1002 could improve oxygenation and shorten the duration or severity of respiratory failure in patients with ARDS.

How similar studies have gone: Previous drug trials for ARDS have produced mixed results, so this specific therapy is relatively novel and not yet proven in large trials.
