Trial summary

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition that can result from a bacterial infection in the lungs. Viral infections may impair the body's immune system response to bacteria, which may lead to more serious lung injury. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers

Study population: Adults diagnosed with Acute Lung Injury [ALI] or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [ARDS] admitted to Intensive Care Units that are ARDSNet sites in Colorado.

  • All patients that are eligible for ARDSNet Study 06 (Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center Trial of Aerosolized Albuterol Versus Placebo in Patients with Acute Lung Injury [ALI] or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [ARDS]) and ARDSNet Study 07 (Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center Trial of Initial Trophic Enteral Feeding Followed by Advancement to Full-Calorie Enteral Feeding vs. Early Advancement to Full-Calorie Enteral Feeding in Patients with Acute Lung Injury [ALI] or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [ARDS] and Prospective, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Trial of Omega-3 Fatty Acid, Gamma-Linolenic Acid, and Anti-Oxidant Supplementation in the Management of Acute Lung Injury [ALI] or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [ARDS]) will be eligible for co-enrollment in this study
  • Experiences acute onset of each of the following criteria within a 24-hour time period:
  • Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) less than or equal to 300; if altitude is greater than 1000 meters, then PaO2/FiO2 must be less than or equal to 300 x (barometric pressure [PB]/760)

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Assessment of Viral-induced Adaptation of Neutrophil Response in ARDS - Ancillary to ARDS Network Trials

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition that can result from a bacterial infection in the lungs. Viral infections may impair the body's immune system response to bacteria, which may lead to more serious lung injury. This study will evaluate the association between the immune response and ARDS severity in people who have ARDS plus a viral infection.

Read the detailed description

ARDS is a serious condition that involves inflammation and fluid accumulation in the lungs, leading to low blood oxygen levels and breathing failure. It is often fatal and affects approximately 150,000 individuals each year in the United States. Common underlying causes include bacterial infections, lung trauma, and pneumonia. Even in people with similar risk factors for ARDS, there are often varying levels of condition severity. This may be because some people experience an ongoing viral infection that further predisposes them to the bacterial infection, worsening the severity of ARDS. Viruses release a protein called Type I interferon. This protein increases the response of the interferon stimulated genes (ISG) in neutrophils, which are white blood cells that protect the body against disease and infections by destroying bacteria. Preliminary studies have shown that some people at risk for ARDS have elevated ISGs in their neutrophils and that ISGs are associated with an impaired neutrophil response and increased severity of ARDS. This study will evaluate the association between viral-related neutrophil ISG response and the severity of ARDS.

Participants will include people on mechanical ventilation who are enrolled in either the ARDSNet 06 or 07 studies. For this study, participants will undergo blood collection within 48 hours of beginning the main ARDSNet study. There will be no study visits specifically for this study. Study researchers will analyze participants' blood samples and ARDSNet study data to gather information on mortality, the number of ventilator-free days, markers of severity of organ dysfunction and inflammation, and neutrophil response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult, run by National Jewish Health at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 22 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 14 Oct 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Primary outcome measure of subject mortality. (time frame: baseline to 90 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 NCT00548795, 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 14 Oct 2020.
