A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Patients (≥18 years and <80 years) with a clinical diagnosis of ARDS of any aetiology (pneumonia, including SARS-CoV-2, sepsis, pancreatitis, bronchospasm and trauma) admitted to the ICU.
  • Orotracheal intubation (OTI) and mechanical ventilation within 72 hours prior to randomisation.
  • Moderate-severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2: ≤200 mmHg under standardised conditions (PEEP≥5 cm H2O).
  • Heart rate ≥ 60 bpm.
  • Invasive systolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg.

You likely can't join if

  • Prolonged hospital admission prior to randomisation (i.e. ≥7 days at the time of randomisation).
  • Use of noradrenaline at concentrations greater than 0.2 µg/kg/min at the time of the randomisation.
  • Use of dobutamine within 48 hours before randomisation.
  • Concomitant pulmonary embolism.
  • Known severe peripheral arterial disease.
  • Known asthma before admission (with active bronchodilator therapy).

  • Heart rate ≥ 60 bpm.
  • Invasive systolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg.
What rules you out
  • Prolonged hospital admission prior to randomisation (i.e. ≥7 days at the time of randomisation).
  • Use of noradrenaline at concentrations greater than 0.2 µg/kg/min at the time of the randomisation.
  • Use of dobutamine within 48 hours before randomisation.
  • Concomitant pulmonary embolism.
  • Known severe peripheral arterial disease.
  • Known asthma before admission (with active bronchodilator therapy).
  • Active beta-blocker treatment prior to admission (i.e. within 3 months prior to admission).
  • Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <50%).
  • Life expectancy due to other processes (cancer, degenerative diseases, etc.) of les tan 6 months.
  • Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction.
  • Concomitant acute heart failure (cardiac index ≤2.5 L/m2 or pulmonary capillary pressure ≥15 mmHg or clinical suspicion).
  • Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, 2:1 AV block, high-grade/advanced AV block and third-degree AV block. Also significant sinus bradycardia, which would be implied by having a heart rate >60 bpm as an inclusión criterion.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Cardiogenic shock.
  • Persistent invasive blood pressure <110 mmHg despite vasopresor agents.
