Ondansetron for the Prevention of Patient Self-Inflicted Lung Injury in Patients With ARDS - Pilot RCT (OSIRIS-1)

8 de maio de 2026 atualizado por: Centre Integre Universitaire de Sante et Services Sociaux du Nord de l'ile de Montreal

A Pilot, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating Ondansetron for the Prevention of Patient Self-Inflicted Lung Injury Through Inhibition of Respiratory Drive in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (OSIRIS-1)

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a serious condition where the lungs become inflamed, leading to severe breathing difficulties. Despite advances in medical care, ARDS remains a life-threatening illness with a high risk of death and long-term complications. One way doctors help ARDS patients is by using special ventilation techniques to protect the lungs from further damage. However, this often requires heavy sedation or even paralyzing medications, which can lead to other problems like delirium, muscle weakness, and longer hospital stays. Allowing patients to breathe on their own might offer benefits, but it also comes with risks. Many ARDS patients have a very strong urge to breathe, which can cause them to overexert their lungs, potentially leading to additional lung damage, known as patient selfinflicted lung injury (P-SILI). Our early research suggests that a medication called ondansetron, commonly used to prevent nausea, might help reduce this strong breathing drive in ARDS patients, possibly preventing further lung injury. The OSIRIS research program is designed to explore whether ondansetron can protect ARDS patients from P-SILI, ultimately improving their chances of survival and reducing long-term complications. The first part of this program, OSIRIS-1, is a small pilot study where we will test the feasibility of running a larger, more definitive trial. We will randomly assign ARDS patients to receive either ondansetron or a placebo, given intravenously four times a day, and monitor their heart rhythms closely to ensure safety. We will also track how well patients stick to the study plan and whether ondansetron helps reduce their breathing drive and lung strain. If successful, this research could lead to new ways of treating ARDS that rely less on heavy sedation, potentially improving outcomes for these critically ill patients and setting the stage for larger, more comprehensive studies in the future.

Descrição detalhada

BACKGROUND: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening inflammatory lung condition with high mortality and long-term morbidity. Lung-protective ventilation - targeting low tidal volumes and driving pressures - is one of the few proven interventions but often requires deep sedation and neuromuscular blockade (NMB), which are associated with delirium, ICU-acquired weakness, and prolonged ICU stays. Maintaining spontaneous breathing can offer physiological advantages but is frequently limited by excessive respiratory drive, which increases the risk of patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI). Lung inflammation leading to stimulation and sensitization of pulmonary vagal afferent Cfibers could contribute to excessive respiratory effort. Stimulation of pulmonary C-fibers by serotonin increases respiratory rate in animal models through 5-HT receptors. Our previous data suggest that 3 ondansetron, a 5-HT receptor antagonist, attenuates respiratory drive and effort. We hypothesize that 3 this effect may reduce the need for sedation and paralysis, minimize P-SILI, and ultimately improve outcomes in ARDS.

OBJECTIVES: The overarching goal of the OSIRIS research program is to evaluate whether regular intravenous ondansetron can improve patient-important outcomes (survival, ventilator-free days and long term neurocognitive function) in patients with ARDS. With the OSIRIS-1 pilot study, our objective is to assess:

Feasibility:

[RQ1] What is the adherence to the study protocol? [PRIMARY] [RQ2] What is the completeness of the data collection? [RQ3] What is the recruitment rate?

Preliminary mechanistic efficacy and safety:

[RQ4] Does it decrease respiratory effort? [RQ5] Does it reduce exposure to sedatives, opioids and neuromuscular blockers? [RQ6] Is the intervention safe?

METHODS: OSIRIS-1 is a multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, phase 2 and feasibility pilot RCT. We will enroll 76 invasively mechanically ventilated adults with moderate-to-severe ARDS (PaO :FiO2 < 200). Participants will be randomized to receive ondansetron 8 mg IV or placebo every 8 hours until liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation. Feasibility will be assessed through protocol adherence (defined as scheduled doses administered within ±2 hours), completeness of key clinical outcomes (ventilator-free days, coma/delirium-free days, 90-day survival), and site-level recruitment metrics. For preliminary efficacy, we will estimate respiratory drive using Pmus (derived from occlusion pressure, ΔPocc), measured three times daily by respiratory therapists. We will also measure P0.1, respiratory rate, and other ventilatory parameters. For safety, we will monitor the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias, serotonin syndrome, and other serious adverse events.

IMPACT: OSIRIS-1 will provide essential data on mechanistic efficacy, safety, and feasibility to inform the design of a future large-scale trial evaluating patient-important outcomes. By targeting respiratory drive pharmacologically, we may enable safer spontaneous breathing, reduce the harms of oversedation and paralysis, and ultimately improve outcomes in ARDS.
