Official title Nalbuphine in ARDS Patients After Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06037330
What this study is testing
What is Nalbuphine?
Nalbuphine is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Also referred to as Nalbuphine Hydrochloride Injection.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Critically ill patients need reasonable and moderate analgesic and sedative treatment to eliminate or reduce pain, anxiety and restlessness, improve patient comfort and cooperation, reduce patients' stress response, protect organ function and optimize prognosis. As a semi-synthetic opioid receptor agonist-antagonist, nalbuphine can bind to μ, κand δ receptors, has partial antagonistic effect on μ receptor, and is fully activated on κreceptor, with very weak δ receptor activity.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
