Trial summary

Nicotine patches are frequently used in smoking patients during their stay in the ICU in order to avoid tobacco's weaning symptoms which are likely to interfere with mechanical ventilation weaning. Until now the effectiveness of this treatment has not been proven. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multicentric Evaluation of a Daily Nicotine Patch Administration on Mechanical Ventilation Weaning in Smoking Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit

Nicotine patches are frequently used in smoking patients during their stay in the ICU in order to avoid tobacco's weaning symptoms which are likely to interfere with mechanical ventilation weaning.

Until now the effectiveness of this treatment has not been proven. The aim of this study (NICOREA study) is to determine if a difference exists on the duration of mechanical ventilation once patients receive or not a nicotine substitute.

Read the detailed description

Six hundred mechanically ventilated patients are going to be enrolled to receive nicotine or placebo during a 24 month period in 14 centers in France.

What participants receive

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

  • Nicotine patchDrug

    Also called Nicorette

    One or two 15 mg nicotine patch(es) applied from 6am to 10 pm during 21 days

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Nicorette placebo

    One or two placebo patch(es) applied from 6am to 10 pm each day for 21 days

Study groups in NCT01104896

Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of mechanical ventilation expressed in hours

    Measured between the time of tracheal intubation to tracheal extubation without reintubation for at least 48 hours

    Measured: 48 hours after extubation

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Length of stay in the ICU expressed in day(s)

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  2. Number of failure of mechanical ventilation weaning

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  3. Incidence of score above +1 of the RASS scale measured every 4 hours

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  4. Number of days with delirium assessed by the CAM-ICU score

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  5. Number of hours under sedation below RASS -4, between -3,-2, -2,+1 indexed by the overall duration of sedation

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  6. Number of self-extubation(s)

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  7. Number of pneumonia acquired during mechanical ventilation

    Measured: Within the first 30 days

  8. SOFA score

    Measured: between 48 and 72 hrs

  9. Tobacco weaning rate at hospital discharge

    Measured: Within the first 120 days

  10. 28th day mortality rate

    Measured: betwwen 28th and 48th days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nicotine patch in people with Smoking and Mechanical Ventilation, run by University of Paris 5 - Rene Descartes 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 5 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shohreh Azimi (+33 1 44 84 17 79, shohreh.azimi@sls.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Length of mechanical ventilation expressed in hours (time frame: 48 hours after extubation). 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 16 Apr 2010.
