About this study

Official title: Incidence of Hypotension Based on the Discontinuation Order of Vasopressors in the Management of Septic Shock

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of hypotension based on the discontinuation order of norepinephrine and vasopressin in patients receiving concomitant norepinephrine and vasopressin infusions for the treatment of septic shock.

Read the detailed description

There are little data regarding the discontinuation of vasopressors in patients with septic shock. Therefore, the investigators intend to evaluate the incidence of hypotension based on the discontinuation order of norepinephrine and vasopressin in patients receiving concomitant norepinephrine and vasopressin infusions for the treatment of septic shock.

Conditions
Septic Shock
Being tested
Vasopressin, Norepinephrine

What participants receive

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

  • VasopressinDrug

    Vasopressin will be reduced first (0.01 U/hour)

  • NorepinephrineDrug

    Norepinephrine will be reduced first (0.1 microgram/kg/hour)

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of hypotension

    Hypotension is defined as mean arterial pressure is less than 65mmHg

    Measured: One hour after dose reduction of vasopressors

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time of hypotension

    Time interval (min) from time of dose reduction of vasopressors to time to development of hypotension

    Measured: One hour after dose reduction of vasopressors

  2. Vasopressor free day

    Measured: 28 days after dose reduction of vasopressors

  3. 28-day mortality

    All cause mortality within 28 days after hospitalization

    Measured: 28 days

  4. ICU mortality

    All cause mortlity during ICU admission

    Measured: 3 months

  5. In-hospital mortality

    All cause mortality during hospitalization

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vasopressin and Norepinephrine in people with Septic Shock, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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 30 Jan 2015. 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 South Korea. 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: Futility by interim analysis). 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?

Incidence of hypotension (time frame: One hour after dose reduction of vasopressors). 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 NCT01493102, 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 30 Jan 2015.
