Trial summary

Although mechanical ventilation is life saving, it is associated with a number of severe complications collectively referred to as ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). VILI contributes to the high morbidity and mortality associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of High Frequency Oscillation on Biological Markers of Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI): Nested Translational Biology Sub-Study of the OSCILLATE Pilot Study

Although mechanical ventilation is life saving, it is associated with a number of severe complications collectively referred to as ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). VILI contributes to the high morbidity and mortality associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Within the context of a randomized study evaluating the feasibility of conducting a study comparing high frequency oscillation to conventional lung protective ventilation in early severe ARDS, we are evaluating the effect of both ventilator strategies on biological markers of VILI.

Read the detailed description

Specific objectives:

To measure known biomarkers conventionally associated with VILI and biotrauma To measure potential novel biomarkers of VILI and biotrauma To identify the best time point for biomarker measurement To collect and store samples for differential expression and genomic analysis

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Serum concentration of known biomarkers associated with VILI and biotrauma

    Measured: Baseline, after standardization, 6-10 hours after randomization, 12-16 hours after randomization, 24-30 hours after randomization, 72-76 hours after randomization, and every 3 subsequent days until death, discharge, or completion of the study at 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum concentration of tissue and cell specific markers that are potential novel biomarkers associated with VILI and biotrauma

    Measured: Baseline, after standardization, 6-10 hours after randomization, 12-16 hours after randomization, 24-30 hours after randomization, 72-76 hours after randomization, and every 3 subsequent days until death, discharge, or completion of the study at 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Unity Health Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 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 17 Nov 2008. 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 Canada. 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?

Serum concentration of known biomarkers associated with VILI and biotrauma (time frame: Baseline, after standardization, 6-10 hours after randomization, 12-16 hours after randomization, 24-30 hours after randomization, 72-76 hours after randomization, and every 3 subsequent days until death, discharge, or completion of the study at 28 days). 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 17 Nov 2008.
