About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Control Trial (RCT) to Determine Safety and Efficacy of PALP™ for ECCO2-R in Conjunction With Liberation From Mechanical Ventilation (MV) Compared to MV Alone in COPD Exacerbation and Respiratory Failure

A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial to Determine Safety and Efficacy of Pump Assisted Lung Protection (PALP™) for Low Flow Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Removal in Conjunction with Liberation from Mechanical Ventilation Compared to Mechanical Ventilation Alone in Patients with COPD Exacerbation and Respiratory Failure

Read the detailed description

Primary Study Objectives

  • To evaluate the clinical effect of PALP™ in reducing the time on invasive ventilation in patients with an exacerbation of COPD requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

Secondary Study Objectives

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PALP™ in patients with an exacerbation of COPD requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.
  • To determine if rates of adverse events (AEs) are reduced in patients who receive PALP™ and invasive mechanical ventilation vs invasive mechanical ventilation alone.
  • To determine mortality rates in patients who receive PALP™ and invasive mechanical ventilation vs invasive mechanical ventilation alone.
  • To determine if PALP™ will effectively reduce the number of subsequent acute decompensations requiring hospital admission for ventilatory support (invasive or noninvasive).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CO2-Removal (PALP-Device/MaquetCP) in people with COPD and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Maquet Cardiopulmonary GmbH 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 8 inclusion and 24 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2016. 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 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?

Difference in time of mechanical ventilation (time frame: 720 hours). 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 NCT02107222, 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 1 Apr 2016.
