About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Assessment With Transpulmonary Thermodilution and Transesophageal Echocardiography in Patients With Early Septic Shock

The purpose of this study is to assess the concordance of therapeutic changes proposed after an early hemodynamic evaluation (hemodynamic profile) in septic shock patients using jointly the transpulmonary thermodilution technique and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Read the detailed description

Each patient will be assessed by both the transpulmonary thermodilution technique and TEE (H0). The two assessments will be performed in random order (central randomization stratified by participating center), but within 30 minutes (no change of ongoing treatment during the assessment period). Two investigators not involved in patient care and blinded to the results of the alternative technique will performed independently the hemodynamic assessment using one of the two modalities for hemodynamic assessment tested in the study. They will interpret the results at bedside and propose a therapeutic change to the attending physician, according to the hemodynamic profile. The latter will finally: precisely identify the clinical problem to be solved (e.g., therapeutic target of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign not reached, tissue hypoperfusion), choose a therapy adapted while taking into account the clinical scenario and the results of both the transpulmonary thermodilution and TEE, evaluate the efficacy of this treatment (problem solved or not) and its tolerance (potential side-effect attributable to the treatment). In addition, the presence or resolution of signs of tissue hypoperfusion will systematically be assessed at H6, H12 and H24. Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed by an independent committee of experts.

What is being measured

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

  1. therapeutic procedure following the hemodynamic assessment

    Changes in therapy proposed after the hemodynamic assessment (hemodynamic profile) by each of the two tested methods: blood volume expansion (preload responsiveness), positive inotrope (cardiac dysfunction), vasopressor (vasoplegia), no change in ongoing therapy or dose tapering (inotropes or vasopressor).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. efficacy and safety of therapeutic intervention

    Efficacy (clinical problem solved) and tolerance (potential side-effects) of the therapeutic change.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing early septic shock in people with Septic Shock, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 2 sites 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 1 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 22 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

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?

therapeutic procedure following the hemodynamic assessment (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01188993, 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 22 Aug 2018.
