Trial summary

Carbon monoxide poisoning still places a burden on the healthcare system worldwide. While oxygen therapy is the cornerstone treatment, the role and practical modalities of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) remain controversial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Study of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Non-Comatose Patients With Acute Domestic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide poisoning still places a burden on the healthcare system worldwide. While oxygen therapy is the cornerstone treatment, the role and practical modalities of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) remain controversial. This study aimed at comparing one session of HBO at 2 absolute atmosphere followed by 4 hours of normobaric oxygen therapy to 6 hours of normobaric oxygen therapy in adult victims of acute domestic carbon monoxide poisoning and without coma.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • normobaric oxygen therapyOther

    oxygen therapy was delivered via a full face mask at high flow to achieve 100% of inspired oxygen fraction

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapyOther

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was delivered in a hyperbaric chamber, pressurized at 2 absolute atmosphere (1 hour plateau) and the patient breathed high oxygen concentration via a full face mask followed by 4 hours of normobaric oxygen therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. full recovery

    Full recovery was defined as an absence of symptoms reported on the self-assessment questionnaire with a normal physical exam (including normal neuropsychological functions).

    Measured: at one month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. persistent neurological sequels

    Neurological sequels were considered persistent (PNS) if they were present both at hospital discharge and at one-month evaluation, regardless of the type of manifestation

    Measured: at one month

  2. delayed neurological sequels

    Delayed neurological sequelae (DNS) were any neurological manifestations that appeared between hospital discharge and one-month evaluation, regardless of their severity. Patients with DNS were those considered fully recovered at hospital discharge but with neurological manifestations at one-month evaluation

    Measured: at one month

  3. variations in carboxyhemoglobin levels

    the difference in serum carboxyhemoglobin levels between baseline values and values recorded immeadiately after study treatment completion

    Measured: at 12 hours from randomization

  4. serious adverse events

    any complications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

    Measured: at one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing normobaric oxygen therapy and Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in people with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, run by University of Versailles 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2010. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: this study was suspended for futility). 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?

full recovery (time frame: at one month). 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 Apr 2010.
