About this study

Aim of the study is to investigate the impact of two different fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) on outcome in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Read the detailed description

The high oxygen group is treated during mechanical ventilation with either a fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.7 (high oxygen group) or a fraction of inspired oxygen 0.4 (control group). The intervention continues until withdrawal of mechanical ventilation, ICU discharge or until 14 days from ICU randomisation.

Primary outcome is worse than expected outcome in the corresponding treatment arms based on outcome meas-ured by the probability of bad outcome using the CRASH® risk calculator (prognostic model for predicting outcome after traumatic brain injury).

Secondary outcome is occurence of lung injury during mechanical ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glasgow outcome scale(GOS) and/or Extended glasgow outcome scale (GOSE)

    The study is powered to have 80% power at 5% significance level to detect a treatment effect that decreases the proportion of poor outcome from 55% to 45%.

    Each patient is given an individualized tailored prognosis based on patient's baseline prognosis in a large reference population. Outcome is measured by using functional outcome score, Glasgow outcome score (GOS) and/or GOS extended (GOSE).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 6 month outcome

    Combined proportion of unfavourable neurological outcomes at 6 months:

    severe disability (GOSE 2-4) or death (GOSE 1):

    Occurence of lung injury during mechanical ventilation: ALI-criteria or ARDS criteria used (paO2/FiO2 ratio less than 300 or 200 respectively):

    Mortality at 6 months:

    Proportion of surviving patients with unfavourable neurological outcome at 6 months (GOSE 2-4).

    Quality of life assessment (EQ-5D) at 6 months:

    Prolonged mechanical ventilation Re-intubation rates

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Normobaric oxygen in people with Traumatic Brain Injury | Patient, run by Kuopio University Hospital at 4 sites in Finland.

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 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 14 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 4 sites in Finland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to slow recruitment the study was terminated). 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?

Glasgow outcome scale(GOS) and/or Extended glasgow outcome scale (GOSE) (time frame: 6 months). 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 14 Aug 2018.
