About this study

Official title: Extrapulmonary Interventional Ventilatory Support for Lung Protection in Severe Acute Respiratory Distress - a Prospective Randomized Multi Centre Study

A prospective, randomized study will be performed investigating the effects of a pumpless extracorporeal interventional lung assist [iLA] on the implementation of a lung-protective ventilatory strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS] with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 200. The duration of ventilation, intensive care and hospital stay and in-hospital mortality will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation group:

Implantation of the iLA - adaptation of the ventilation strategy, explantation of the iLA after corresponding improvement (see treatment plan for details) - weaning from the ventilation and extubation according to specified criteria.

Control group:

Ventilation strategy based on the concept of lung-protective ventilation without extracorporeal support, weaning from the ventilation and extubation according to specified criteria (see treatment plan for details).

Being tested
lung protective ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lung protective ventilation in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University of Regensburg at 1 site in Germany.

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 12 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 2 Mar 2011. 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 Germany. 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.

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?

Ventilator free days within 28 days after enrollment (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00538928, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2 Mar 2011.
