Documentation for adult ARDS is limited due to its complexity and the fact that it affects a relatively small population, with a prevalence of 1-5 in 10,000. The lack of identified genetic factors and systematic clinical studies contributes to this gap. Additionally, the condition overlaps with other pulmonary disorders, complicating the characterization of its clinical features.
To navigate adult ARDS effectively, seek specialists such as pulmonologists with expertise in acute respiratory failure. Consider participating in clinical trials to access cutting-edge treatments and contribute to research. You can find relevant trials at ClinicalTrials.gov. Additionally, while there are no specific patient organizations identified, resources like GARD (rarediseases.info.nih.gov) may provide useful information and support. Engaging with a genetic counselor could also be beneficial, especially if there are concerns about familial patterns.
There are several orphan drugs in development for adult ARDS, including calfactant, L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, Lucinactant, nitric oxide, perfluorooctyl-bromide (PFOB), rSP-C lung surfactant, and SF-RI-1 bovine surfactant for inhalation. Currently, there are 23 active clinical trials investigating various aspects of the condition.
