Trial summary

Critically ill patients are on high risk for increased serum glucose levels, leading to more comorbidity and higher mortality risk. In patients with severe sepsis and septic shock hyperglycemia is a typical finding. However the need of insulin therapy is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Observation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Critically Ill Patients Under Consideration of Accuracy, Feasibility and Acceptance by Ward Staff

Critically ill patients are on high risk for increased serum glucose levels, leading to more comorbidity and higher mortality risk. In patients with severe sepsis and septic shock hyperglycemia is a typical finding. However the need of insulin therapy is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia. Newly developed technologies for continuous glucose monitoring in critically ill patients may improve glycemic control and reduce glucose variability. The investigators will perform continuous glucose monitoring in critically ill patients on ICU. Measurements will be done for a period of 72h per patient. The investigators aim is to evaluate accuracy feasibility and acceptance of these methods. To analyze accuracy sensor glucose levels will be validated due to arterial blood gas measurements with the blood gas analyzer. The investigators will investigate the influence of several factors like oedema, perspiration, BMI, body temperature, pH-value application of vasoconstrictors on accuracy and feasibility of the particular system. Furthermore Nursing staff will be given a questionnaire to identify acceptance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous glucose monitoring in people with Glucose Metabolism Disorders and Diabetic Blood Glucose Monitoring, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 9 Feb 2017. 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?

Accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring compared to blood gas analyses (time frame: 72 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 NCT02296372, 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 9 Feb 2017.
