Trial summary

Vigorous fluid resuscitation is currently believed to play a key role in reducing complications associated with acute pancreatitis. However, aggressive fluid replacement can be associated with complications such as pulmonary fluid sequestration. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized-controlled Trial of a Targeted Approach to Fluid Resuscitation in Acute Pancreatitis

Vigorous fluid resuscitation is currently believed to play a key role in reducing complications associated with acute pancreatitis. However, aggressive fluid replacement can be associated with complications such as pulmonary fluid sequestration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternative approaches to early fluid resuscitation for patients with acute pancreatitis.

Read the detailed description

Primary Aim: Evaluate the impact of a goal-directed fluid resuscitation protocol compared to standard fluid resuscitation on systemic inflammation in patients with acute pancreatitis.

Secondary Aim: Evaluate the impact of resuscitation with Lactated Ringer's compared to normal saline on systemic inflammation in acute pancreatitis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence (point prevalence) of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) at 24 hours

    Measured: first 24 hours of hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Goal-directed fluid resuscitation in people with Acute Pancreatitis, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: interim analysis incidence primary endpoint lower than anticipated. Sigicant finding based on secondary endpoint.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Prevalence (point prevalence) of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) at 24 hours (time frame: first 24 hours of hospitalization). 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 9 Dec 2016.
