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.

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.
