Anti-inflammatory therapies for acute respiratory distress syndrome

INTRODUCTION: Treatments for the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are mainly supportive, and ventilatory management represents a key approach in these patients. Despite progress in pharmacotherapy, anti-inflammatory strategies for the treatment of ARDS have shown controversial results. Positive outcomes with pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments have been found in two different biological subphenotypes of ARDS, suggesting that, with a personalized medicine approach, pharmacotherapy for ARDS can be effective.

AREAS COVERED: This article reviews the literature concerning anti-inflammatory therapies for ARDS, focusing on pharmacological and stem-cell therapies, including extracellular vesicles.

EXPERT OPINION: Despite advances, ARDS treatments remain primarily supportive. Ventilatory and fluid management are important strategies in these patients that have demonstrated significant impacts on outcome. Anti-inflammatory drugs have shown some benefits, primarily in preclinical research and in specific clinical scenarios, but no recommendations are available from guidelines to support their use in patients with ARDS, except in particular settings such as different subphenotypes, specific etiologies, or clinical trials. Personalized medicine seems promising insofar as it may identify specific subgroups of patients with ARDS who may benefit from anti-inflammatory treatment. However, additional efforts are needed to move subphenotype characterization from bench to bedside.
