Trial summary

Mechanical ventilation, although life-saving, damages the lungs through what is known as ventilator-induced lung injury. High frequency oscillation ventilation has been proposed as a ventilation method that may be less injurious to the lungs than conventional mechanical ventilation and may lead to better patient… Read more about this study

About this study

Mechanical ventilation, although life-saving, damages the lungs through what is known as ventilator-induced lung injury. High frequency oscillation ventilation has been proposed as a ventilation method that may be less injurious to the lungs than conventional mechanical ventilation and may lead to better patient outcomes. To evaluate this hypothesis, the OSCILLATE trial is comparing outcomes in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome randomized to high frequency oscillation ventilation vs conventional lung protective ventilation. The present study is a substudy of the OSCILLATE trial looking at biomarkers of ventilator-induced lung injury in blood samples drawn from patients enrolled in OSCILLATE. The objective is to look for biochemical evidence of decreased ventilator-induced lung injury in patients treated with high frequency oscillation ventilation relative to conventional ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in biomarkers of ventilator-induced lung injury

    The following biomarkers will be measured in patients enrolled in both arms of the OSCILLATE trial (high frequency oscillation ventilation and conventional lung protective ventilation) at randomization and again at 24 hrs post randomization: IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ, TGF-β, TNF-α, VEGF, sICAM-1, surfactant protein D (SP-D), Krebs von den Lungen protein (KL-6), Clara cell 16 kD protein (CC16), Angiopoietin-1, Angiopoietin-2, and vWF.

    Measured: 24 hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Canadian Critical Care Trials Group at 2 sites in Canada.

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 1 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 12 Sep 2012. 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 Canada. 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: Parent study (OSCILLATE) stopped by the Data Monitoring Committee). 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?

Change from baseline in biomarkers of ventilator-induced lung injury (time frame: 24 hrs). 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 12 Sep 2012.
