Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial evaluates efficacy and safety of inhaled molgramostim (rhGM-CSF) in 45 patients with pneumonia associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A third of the patients will receive 150 mcg inhaled molgramostim, another third 450 mcg and the remaining third will receive inhaled placebo for 3 days. The patients will be followed for 28 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Signed informed consent form by the patient or a legal representative according to local regulations
2. Man or woman 18 to 75 years of age, inclusive
3. Women who have been post-menopausal for more than 1 year or women of childbearing potential period using a highly efficient method of contraception (i.e. a method with less than 1% failure rate such as combined hormonal contraception, progesterone-only hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tube occlusion, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence) during dosing and hospitalisation. Women must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test before the first dose of study medication and must not be lactating.
4. Diagnosis of pneumonia-associated ARDS, where the underlying condition is Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) or Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) in patients not on invasive ventilation upon diagnosis of HAP.
5. Diagnosis of ARDS according to the Berlin ARDS definition.
6. Requirement for positive pressure ventilation (non-invasive or via endotracheal tube) for more than 72 hours in total with inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2) ≥ 50% (or less when on additional ECMO therapy) not longer than 14 days

Exclusion Criteria

1. Receiving vasopressors of \>100 µg/min
2. History of liver cirrhosis Child Pugh C, chronic hemodialysis (before severe pneumonia/ARDS), lung cancer
3. Malignancy with expected survival time of less than 6 months
4. History of or listing for lung transplantation
5. Highly immunosuppressive therapy or anti-malignant combination chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior to first dose of study drug
6. Any anti-malignant chemotherapy within 24 hours prior to first dose of study drug
7. AIDS or known history of HIV infection
8. Pregnancy
9. Autoimmune thrombocytopenia, myelodysplastic syndromes with \> 20% marrow blast cells
10. History or presence of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to molgramostim or to related compounds (i.e., Growgen®, Leucomax®, Leukine™, Topleucon™)
11. Participation in another clinical trial within 90 days prior to the first dose of study drug
