About this study

Use of brain natriuretic peptide to evaluate the cardiac function in the course of meningococcal septic shock or severe sepsis.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: determining sensibility and specificity of BNP blood level to detect myocardial dysfunction in septic shock or severe sepsis due to Neisseria meningitidis in children.

METHODS: Prospective multicentric clinical trial including 7 French pediatric intensive care units. Serial cardiac ultra sounds and blood sampling will be done for patients hospitalized for purpura fulminans beginning at the time of admission in pediatric intensive care. Any child from 6 months to 18 years without preexisting cardiac disease and presenting with purpura fulminans will be enrolled after obtaining consent of both parents. From adult's studies on septic shock and BNP, a total number of 30 patients was calculated to be necessary to prove the interest of BNP in this indication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BNP in people with Meningococcal Infections and Septic Shock, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 28 Aug 2023. 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 France. 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?

Repeated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) blood level (time frame: Up to day 5). 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 28 Aug 2023.
