Trial summary

Circadian rhythms, which play crucial roles in physiology, are emerging as important regulators of specific immune functions. Hospitalization in intensive care unit leads to a deep impairment of circadian rhythm. Infection is a frequent event during ICU hospitalization. Read more about this study

About this study

Circadian rhythms, which play crucial roles in physiology, are emerging as important regulators of specific immune functions. Hospitalization in intensive care unit leads to a deep impairment of circadian rhythm. Infection is a frequent event during ICU hospitalization.

The investigators hypothesis is that in trauma patients the lack of circadian rhythm variations is associated with the occurrence of infection. The primary aim of the study is to assess the circadian variations of plasma Bmal1 in the occurrence of healthcare related infection during the 30 days after inclusion. The secondary aims are to assess the plasma expression of circadian genes (Clock, Cry1, Per3, and Rev-erba), the production of cytokines in plasma, and the concentration of cortisol, according to the occurrence of an infection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood samples in people with Infection, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Jul 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?

area under the curve representing the maximal expression of Bmal1 gene during the first 24 h following inclusion (time frame: 24 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 NCT02307747, 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 28 Jul 2023.
