About this study

Official title: Impact of Inflammation Biomarkers on the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Definition in Intensive Care Unit

The ARDS has a clinical definition with criteria of the American-European Consensus Conference (1994). This definition inconveniently applies to a lot of patients with acute respiratory failure.

We know that there are 2 forms of ARDS morphology on CT scan : "lobar attenuation" (loss of aeration with no concomitant excess in lung tissue) predominating in the lower lobes and "non lobar attenuation" with diffuse and massive loss of aeration with excess lung tissue in all the pulmonary parenchyma.

Today, plasmatic biomarkers are used as prognostic and diagnostic markers of ARDS. Some of them are characteristics of the different damages in the ARDS (alveolar epithelium and vascular endothelium lesions) : sRAGE, SP-D, PAI 1 and sICAM 1.

This study's hypothesis is that patients with ARDS criteria and lobar morphology on CT scan present loss of aeration but no inflammatory pulmonary oedema, whereas patients with non lobar morphology on CT scan present both characteristics.

The primary purpose of our protocol is to show that the patients who respond to ARDS criteria and have a lobar morphology on CT scan do not have an elevation of the biomarkers specific to the pulmonary aggression of ARDS.

Read the detailed description

This multicentric prospective observational study will compare the level of different biomarkers specific to ARDS damages : the soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), the surfactant protein D (SP-D), Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and Soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (sICAM 1) in the two pulmonary morphologies of ARDS on CT scan : lobar and non lobar.

Patients under mechanical ventilation and with ARDS criteria for less than 24 hours(American-European Consensus Conference, 1994) will be enrolled.

Within 24 hours of enrolment, 10ml of blood sample will be collected and stored at -80°C. Plasmatic biomarker concentrations will be determined through ELISA method.

Within 48 hours of enrolment, patients will have a pulmonary CT scan without injection (end of expiration and ZEEP), a classical practice in this pathology.

Nine university hospitals will take part in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasmatic concentrations of biomarkers specific to the pulmonary aggression of ARDS in the 2 different morphologies on CT scan (lobar and non lobar): • sRAGE • SP-D • sICAM 1 • PAI 1.

    Measured: within 24 hours of enrolment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare the 2 different forms of CT scan morphology in term of : • Mechanical ventilation duration • Mortality at 28 days • Mortality at 90 days

    Measured: within 48 hours of enrolment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 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. 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?

Plasmatic concentrations of biomarkers specific to the pulmonary aggression of ARDS in the 2 different morphologies on CT scan (lobar and non lobar): • sRAGE • SP-D • sICAM 1 • PAI 1. (time frame: within 24 hours of enrolment). 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 8 Jul 2014.
