Conditions
COPD
Acute Respiratory Failure
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04315558
Lead Sponsor
University of California, Los Angeles
Brief Summary

RARICO is a pragmatic, randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multi-center trial evaluating the safety and feasibility of nebulized revefenacin in comparison to nebulized ipratropium in patients with COPD and acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

Detailed Description

Objective: To assess the efficacy of nebulized revefenacin in improving the lung mechanics of COPD patients with acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (MV), in comparison to a control group receiving the short-acting muscarinic antagonist ipratropium.

Hypothesis: Revefenacin is as efficacious as ipratropium in improving the lung mechanics of COPD patients with acute respiratory failure.

RevefenacinRevefenacin Inhalation Solution [Yupelri]Revefenacin will be delivered once daily via nebulizer. In order to allow for full blinding and steady Q6 hours regimen in control arm, at hours 6, 12 and 18 after the Revefenacin dose, nebulized normal saline will be delivered.
IpratropiumIpratropium BromideNebulized ipratropium will be delivered via nebulizer Q6 hours.
