Trial summary

Acute chest syndrome is a severe sickle cell disease complication in children requiring blood transfusion therapy to prevent acute respiratory failure and death. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that could reverse pulmonary vascular occlusion and restore normal oxygenation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Nitric Oxide Therapy for Acute Chest Syndrome in Sickle Cell Disease Children: Randomized, Double Blind Placebo-controlled Concept-proof Trial

Acute chest syndrome is a severe sickle cell disease complication in children requiring blood transfusion therapy to prevent acute respiratory failure and death. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that could reverse pulmonary vascular occlusion and restore normal oxygenation. The randomized trial will test that hypothesis.

Read the detailed description

Acute chest syndrome is a severe sickle cell disease complication in children requiring blood transfusion therapy to prevent acute respiratory failure and death. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that could reverse pulmonary vascular occlusion and restore normal oxygenation. The randomized trial will test that hypothesis in a prospective randomized double-blind placebo controlled study. 50 children in two years will be included: 25 in each arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. We will observe the patient's transfusional needs under nitric oxide (MONOXYDE AZOTE) versus placebo inhaled therapy to evaluate inhaled MOXYDE AZOTE efficacy on improving oxygenation (transcutaneous O2 superior to 92% )

    Measured: Oxygenation improvement (transcutaneous O2 superior to 92%) after Gas inhalation will be evaluate 2hours after inclusion and therafter every 2 hours until 12 hours therapy and then every six hours for 3days and then once a day till hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of blood transfusions and total transfused blood volume

    Measured: 7 to 10 days

  2. Quantity of Pain-killer drugs required and particularly OPIOIDS

    Measured: 7 to 10 days

  3. Duration of Nitric oxide therapy

    Measured: after 7 to 10 days

  4. Duration of OXYGENOTHERAPY

    Measured: 7 to 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nitric oxide by inhalation INOMAX in people with Acute Chest Syndrome and Sickle Cell Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 10 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 4 Dec 2014. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

We will observe the patient's transfusional needs under nitric oxide (MONOXYDE AZOTE) versus placebo inhaled therapy to evaluate inhaled MOXYDE AZOTE efficacy on improving oxygenation (transcutaneous O2 superior to 92% ) (time frame: Oxygenation improvement (transcutaneous O2 superior to 92%) after Gas inhalation will be evaluate 2hours after inclusion and therafter every 2 hours until 12 hours therapy and then every six hours for 3days and then once a day till hospital discharge). 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 4 Dec 2014.
