About this study

Official title: Effect Of Acute Inflammatory Mediators On Duration Of Functional Limitations In Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure, A Randomized, Controlled Pilot Study of Early ICU Rehabilitation Strategies

This is a randomized, controlled, pilot study of two separate Cohorts of patients from the intensive care unit. Cohort I will enroll 50 patients and randomize to receive one physical therapy session per day or receive usual ICU care. Cohort II, will enroll an additional 50 patients and randomize to receive either two physical therapy sessions per day or usual care. Outcome will be length of hospital stay measured in days. Secondary outcomes will be mortality, ventilator days, ICU days, and for Cohort II, grip strength, dynamometer strength assessments and the short physical performance battery (SPPB). Study subjects will have blood for cytokine analysis through their first week of study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early ICU rehabilitation strategies in people with Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Wake Forest University 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 1 inclusion and 13 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 15 Aug 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 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?

Hospital length of stay, days (time frame: The participants will be followed for the duration of the hospitalization, an expected average of 3 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 15 Aug 2018.
