About this study

Official title: A Pilot, Single Center Prospective, With Parallel Groups, Controlled and Open to Evaluate the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide for Inhalation in Lung Donors and in the Prevention of Reperfusion Injury.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide in prevention of lung graft dysfunction due to ischemia-reperfusion

Read the detailed description
  • Pilot, single-center, prospective, randomized, parallel-group, controlled, open-label trial.
  • Sixty lung donors will be analyzed, making a comparative study between donors receiving NO for 3 hours prior to removal of the organ versus a control group to which NO will not be administered.
  • A Swan-Ganz catheter will be placed to determine PVR, PAP, MV, and PCP; and blood gases will be done after arterial cannulation to determine FiO2/PaO2 hourly. Also, standard blood chemistry, hematology, coagulation parameters, and arterial blood gas.
  • Prior to NO administration and before procurement, a BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) will be done to determine the presence of leukocytes, predominantly neutrophils, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF, and proteins as well as obtaining secretions for culture.
  • The dosage of NO will be 10ppm, with NO2 and methemoglobinemia being monitored exhaustively.
  • In the operating room and prior to lung removal, a new BAL will be done and the anti-inflammatory agents described above will be determined.
  • Organ removal and the preservation fluid used will be standard, according to the established surgical protocol.
  • Anesthesia: methylprednisolone 1 g will be administered before organ extraction; hemodynamic determinations of mAP, PAP, CVP, MV, and hourly urinary output and arterial blood gas.
  • Hemodynamic and respiratory determinations will be made in the lung receptors: mAP, mPAP, PVR, MV, PCP, DO2, Qs/Qt, and CVP as well as gas determinations every 30 minutes, blood chemistry, hematology, and coagulation immediately after reperfusion. A BAL will also be done after anesthesia induction.
  • Incidents during surgery will be recorded, especially the need for extracorporeal circulation as well as transfusion requirements and ischemia times.
  • After surgery, another BAL will be done both 24 hours and 48 hours after return to the Recovery Unit. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters will be monitored every 4 hours for the first 48 hours after surgery, as well as arterial blood gases.
  • Blood chemistry will be done every 12 hours along with coagulation and hematology tests.
  • Chest x-ray on admission and daily to determine the degree of the patient's edema over the first 48 hours.
  • Drug administration: the NO will be administered in the respirator intake at a dose of 10ppm for 48 hours. A monitor will be used showing the gas dosage continuously, as well as NO2 and methemoglobinemia.
  • The inflammatory agents (TNF, IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10) will be determined with the ELISA technique.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nitric oxide in people with Lung Transplantation, run by Mallinckrodt at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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 19 Oct 2016. 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 Spain. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Edema and mPAP (time frame: 4 - 48 hours). 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 NCT00570245, which also lists 3 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 19 Oct 2016.
