Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients admitted to Medical Center of the Rockies with minor injuries.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a minor injury or injuries, defined as:
  • no episodes of systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg between occurrence of injury and admission;
  • no blood transfusion requirement;
  • base deficit < 5 mEq/L;
  • no requirement for mechanical ventilation other than transiently during orthopedic surgery.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy
  • corticosteroid use,
  • prisoners, and/or
  • head trauma as determined by computed tomography (head trauma may itself induce diabetes insipidus, a marker of pituitary damage and vasopressin deficiency), and/or
  • evidence of spinal cord injury (another cause of vasodilatory shock).
  • Patients will also be excluded if pre-hospital provider information cannot be obtained, or indicates that the trauma occurred more than one 1 hour prior to emergency department admission.

About this study

Official title: Determination of Serum Vasopressin Levels and Correlation With Life-threatening Complications in Adults With Severe Hemorrhagic Shock.

The purpose of this study is to determine if vasopressin is used up by the body during traumatic shock (severe low blood pressure due to trauma).

Read the detailed description

For humans suffering trauma and severe hemorrhagic shock, no randomized controlled studies of the effect of exogenous vasopressin use exist, although case reports have suggested it may be of benefit. Even some moribund patients with "irreversible" shock survived severe hemorrhagic shock after administration of vasopressin. This suggests that at least some patients suffering severe trauma could benefit from AAVP administration. Recently, many clinicians and notable research consortiums have suggested that AVP shows promise for human resuscitation and have called for further human studies.

This is a prospective, single-center observational study designed to evaluate (1) whether vasopressin is depleted in severe, but not minor, trauma; and (2) the degree to which endogenous vasopressin levels predict the occurrence of ARDS, sepsis, or death. To test the first hypothesis, serum vasopressin levels (continuous independent variable) will be assessed at enrollment (time 0), 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours later, and correlated with the two levels of trauma (categorical dependent variable). To test the second hypothesis, serum vasopressin levels (now a continuous dependent variable) will be correlated with each of three outcomes-death, ARDS, and sepsis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vasopressin levels.Cohort will consist of subjects with a minor injury or injuries defined as: 1. no episodes of systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg between occurrence of injury and admission; 2. no blood transfusion requirement; 3. base deficit < 5 mEq/L; 4. no requirement for mechanical ventilation other than transiently during orthopedic surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Injury, run by Poudre Valley Health System at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2018. 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 United States. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Serum vasopressin levels. (time frame: 24 hours.). 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 25 May 2018.
