Trial summary

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder with rising incidence varying between 35 and 80 per 100,000 in Europe and the USA. About 15% of patients develop necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) with a mortality of up to 42% and frequently prolonged hospitalisation in the survivors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: EAGLE: Early Goal-directed Volume Resuscitation in Severe Acute Pancreatitis: A Randomised Multi-centre Study

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder with rising incidence varying between 35 and 80 per 100,000 in Europe and the USA. About 15% of patients develop necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) with a mortality of up to 42% and frequently prolonged hospitalisation in the survivors. Despite a fulminant pathophysiology comparable to that of sepsis, the management of NP is still re-active, symptomatic and mainly based on paradigms with low grade evidence. In sepsis beneficial effects of early goal-directed fluid resuscitation resulting in reduced mortality have been clearly shown. With regard to these data and several studies of NP demonstrating the deleterious effects of fluid loss and haemoconcentration within the first 24h after admission, early goal-directed fluid resuscitation has the potential of improving outcome also in NP. Therefore, it is the aim of this RCT to demonstrate beneficial effects of early goal-directed resuscitation using an algorithm based on modern haemodynamic parameters such as Intra-thoracic Blood Volume Index (ITBI), Extravascular Lung Water Index (ELWI) and Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) which can be easily and safely obtained due to recent progress in haemodynamic monitoring. The algorithm is aimed at maintaining adequate resuscitation (ITBI, SVV) as well as preventing pulmonary over-hydration (ELWI).The use of a similar algorithm in cardiac surgery patients resulted in a significant reduction in catecholamine use, lactate levels, duration of ventilation and ICU stay.

Read the detailed description

Resuscitation using crystalloids and/or colloids with the following goals:

ITBI: 850 -1000 ml/sqm, if ELWI <=12*ml/kg 750 - 850 ml/sqm, if ELWI >12*ml/kg and/or PaO2:FiO2 <200

*ELWI <=12ml/kg, if MAP>65mmHg without catecholamines <=14ml/kg, if catecholamines required for MAP>65mmHg SVV <10% (only in controlled ventilation and sinus rhythm) MAP >65mmHg (MAP: Mean Arterial Pressure) IAPP >60mmHg (IAPP: Intra-abdominal Perfusion Pressure)

    Measured: ICU-, 28-days- and in hospital mortality

  2. APACHE-II-Score

    Measured: 4d; 7d; 28d

  3. Number of ICU-days

    Measured: Admission to transfer or death

  4. Percentage of organ failure within each group

    Measured: Time of ICU-stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PiCCO-parameter-guided volume resuscitation in people with Acute Pancreatitis, run by Technical University of Munich 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 17 inclusion and 3 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 8 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 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?

Increase in APACHE II >=4 within 4 days as compared to baseline (admission to ICU) (time frame: 4 days after admission to the ICU). 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 NCT00894907, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Oct 2020.
