About this study

Official title: A New Multi-parameter Monitoring System Applying Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Indocyanine Green to Detect Cerebrovascular Events in Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

To assess the feasibility of a new brain tissue probe for multi-parameter neuromonitoring (NeMo Probe) and the accuracy of measurement values.

To demonstrate the ability of the NeMo probe to detect changes in cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation during cerebrovascular events monitored with established methods including brain tissue oxygenation tension and microdialysis

What participants receive

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

  • NeMo ProbeDevice

    A new minimal-invasive brain tissue probe applying near infrared spectroscopy

Study groups in NCT01801306
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NeMoProbeOtherThe NeMo System is used for intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain temperature monitoring, as well as the determination of the brain tissue oxygenation saturation (SbtO2) and cerebral blood flow. The sensors for NIRS are implemented into a conventional brain tissue probe for ICP monitoring (NeMo Probe).
Receives: Device: NeMo Probe

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the feasibility of the neuromonitoring system and accuracy of the measurement values

    Feasibility: User acceptance rate in comparison to conventional probes for ICP-monitoring. The following parameters will be analysed:

    • Incidence of concerns of users in relation to the installation of the NeMo System
    • Incidence of concerns of users in relation to the function of the NeMo System Incidence of concerns of users in relation to the removal of the NeMo System
    • User-friendliness with a 3-graded scale (equal, better, worse) compared to conventional probes for ICP monitoring Accuracy of measurement values: Results from repeated measurements of mttICG, CBV, and CBF.

    Safety endpoints:

    -Adverse events profile (including adverse device effects): Incidence of complications (infections, brain tissue damage, hemorrhage) in comparison to historical series (conventional probes for ICP-monitoring):

    Measured: Day 90 after Removal of Medical Device

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To demonstrate the ability of the neuromonitoring system to detect cerebrovascular events in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage

    Results concerning the response to cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) monitored with electrocorticography (ECoG):

    Increase of brain tissue oxygenation (SbtO2), total hemoglobin (dHbtotal, aHbtotal), CBV, CBV Hb and CBF >20% Decrease of SbtO2, dHbtotal, aHbtotal, CBV, CBV Hb and CBF >20% Changes of SbtO2, dHbtotal, aHbtotal, CBV, CBV Hb and CBF <20%

    Results concerning the sensitivity and specificity to detect delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) monitored with ptiO2 and MD:

    Correlation of CBF values <15 ml/100g/min with defined criteria for DCI (ptiO2 <15 mmHg, Gluc brain<0.7 mmol/l, Lactate-Pyruvate-Ratio >40), number of false negative and false positive events, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.

    Measured: Day 90 after Removal of Medical Device

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NeMo Probe in people with Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, run by NeMoDevices AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 18 Jun 2014. 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 Germany. 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?

To assess the feasibility of the neuromonitoring system and accuracy of the measurement values (time frame: Day 90 after Removal of Medical Device). 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 18 Jun 2014.
