ReInvigorate Trial Summary

This trial evaluates a system to help people with breathing machines wean off them. Subjects are randomized between a treatment group with the system and a control group with standard care. Primary endpoints are time to weaning and serious adverse event rates.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 22 or older who have been on mechanical ventilation for at least four days and failed one weaning attempt. They should be expected to need ventilation for at least another two days. Pregnant women, those with certain medical devices, severe lung conditions, recent neck cancer treatments, or significant bleeding risks are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the pdSTIM System's ability to help patients stop needing a ventilator by stimulating the phrenic nerve. Participants will either receive standard care alone (Control group) or standard care plus the pdSTIM System therapy (Treatment group), assigned randomly in equal numbers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of the pdSTIM System may include discomfort at the stimulation site, possible interference with other medical devices if present, and potential risk of infection or bleeding where leads are placed.
