About this study

Official title: Convalescent Plasma Treatment in Patients With Severe 2009 H1N1 Infection: a Prospective Cohort Study

Treatment of severe 2009 H1N1 infection with convalescent plasma will reduce mortality.

Read the detailed description

Patients presented with severe 2009 H1N1 infection responded poorly to antiviral agents. Meta-analysis of reports from 1918 H1N1 pandemic suggested that convalescent plasma might be an effective treatment option for patients with severe 2009 H1N1 infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Death

    mortality during hospitalization directly related to H1N1 2009 infection

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Complication

    including pneumonia, ARDS, renal failure, heart failure and secondary infection

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

  2. Length of stay in ICU

    days of stay in ICU

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

  3. Adverse events secondary to the convalescent plasma treatment

    Allergic reaction (including anaphylaxis), acute renal failure, fluid overload

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

  4. Time on respiratory support

    including ventilator, CPAP and BiPAP

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

  5. Change in viral load

    Daily measurement of H1N1 2009 viral load

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

  6. Change in cytokine level

    daily measurement of cytokine level (serum)

    Measured: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing H1N1 convalescent plasma and oseltamivir and Oral Oseltamivir alone in people with Influenza A, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in China.

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 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 2 Mar 2011. 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 China. 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?

Death (time frame: Participants are followed until death or discharge from ICU (average 2 weeks)). 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 2 Mar 2011.
