Trial summary

The impact of continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) on sepsis-induced multiple organ failure severity is controversial. We thus sought to assess the effect of early application of haemofiltration on the degree of organ dysfunction and plasma cytokine levels in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.

About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Randomized Multicentric Controlled Study on Impact of Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration on Organ Failure at the Early Phase of Severe Sepsis

The impact of continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) on sepsis-induced multiple organ failure severity is controversial. We thus sought to assess the effect of early application of haemofiltration on the degree of organ dysfunction and plasma cytokine levels in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.

Read the detailed description

prospective, randomized, open, multicentre study was performed between 1997 and 1999 in 16 French intensive care units. Patients were enrolled within 24 hours of development of the first organ failure related to a new septic insult. They were randomized to group 1 (HF), who received haemofiltration for a 96 hr period, or group 2 (C) who were managed conventionally. The primary end-point was the number, severity and duration of organ failures at 14 days, as evaluated by the SOFA score, on an intention-to-treat analysis. Strict guidelines were provided to perform continuous haemofiltration under the same conditions and objectives in all centres.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing venovenous hemofiltration in people with Bacteremia and Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections, run by Hopital Lariboisière 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2006. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The primary end-point was the number, severity and duration of organ failures at 14 days, as evaluated by the SOFA score, on an intention-to-treat analysis. 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 4 Dec 2006.
