About this study

Official title: A Before-and-after Assessment of Conservative Oxygen Therapy vs. Standard Care in Critically Ill Mechanically Ventilated Patients

The investigators hypothesize that it is feasible and safe to deliver a conservative approach to oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients (a tiem frame of, on average,10 days).

Read the detailed description
  1. Identify patients likely to require ventilation until the day after tomorrow (a time frame of 36 hours of average)
  2. Deliver a conservative oxygen therapy protocol while in ICU (a time frame on average of 10 days)
  3. Target an oxygen saturation between 90 and 92%
  4. Adjust FiO2 to achieve target SaO2 at all times
  5. Assess percentage of time patient is within target
  6. Assess for safety of this approach
Being tested
conservative O2 therapy, standard care

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in PaO2/FiO2 ratio from baseline to worst value

    Pao2/FiO2 ratio will be measured regularly and compared during standard care and the intervention period (a time frame of, on average, 10 days)

    Measured: 10 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Lactate

    blood lactate will be measured regularly and assessed during standard care and the intervention period

    Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing conservative O2 therapy in people with Critical Illness, run by Austin Health at 1 site in Australia.

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 2 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 11 Jul 2013. 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 Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Difference in PaO2/FiO2 ratio from baseline to worst value (time frame: 10 days). 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 NCT01684124, 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 11 Jul 2013.
