About this study

Official title: Sodium-Lactate Versus Mannitol in the Treatment of Intracranial Hypertensive Episodes in Severe Traumatic Brain Injured Patients

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of bolus of either sodium-lactate or mannitol on the evolution of intracranial pressure (ICP) during intracranial hypertensive episodes (IHE)

Read the detailed description

Osmotherapy with mannitol remains the first treatment currently recommended to treat intracranial hypertension in severe head injury.However, this treatment in not always efficient and is associated with side-effects and a transitory action. Hypertonic sodium-lactate, by its osmotic and energetic properties could be superior to mannitol to decrease ICP. Study objectives : to compare the effect of mannitol and sodium-lactate on ICP at the fourth hour after the start of infusion during IHE in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) (main endpoint) ; to compare the percentage of successfully treated episodes between both treatments and to compare the neurological status after one year of evolution (glasgow outcome score)(secondary endpoints)

Patients inclusion : adult severe TBI (glasgow coma score < 9) < 66 yrs Exclusion criteria : polytrauma, bilateral fixed dilated pupils, motor score < 4, neurosurgery, prolonged episode of hypoxia or arterial hypotension, 34 patients included from november 2003 to november 2004 and randomized into two groups : MAN group receiving mannitol 20% 100 ml in 15 min (17 patients, 36 episodes of IHE treated) and LAC group receiving semimolar sodium-lactate 100 ml in 15 min (17 patients, 37 episodes of IHE treated). For ethical reasons a rescue treatment in a crossover fashion was performed for each episode of IHE when the randomized treatment failed.

Follow-up : one year after the TBI. Study end : november 30, 2005

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Mannitol, Sodium-Lactate in people with Severe Trauma Brain Injury and Intracranial Hypertension, run by Institut d'Anesthesiologie des Alpes Maritimes at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficiency to decrease ICP during IHE episodes. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2010.
