About this study

Official title: Skeletal Muscle Wasting in Patients With Sepsis

The current project was designed to examine dynamic changes in muscle wasting during sepsis. Researchers will focus the mitochondrial dysfunction of muscle cells and investigate the role of HO-1 in it. Researchers interested in identifying factors involved in the pathology of muscle wasting during sepsis.

Read the detailed description

Rapid muscle atrophy or muscle wasting occured to septic patients.Sepsis induced muscle wasting has become a severe, frequent, and persistent complication among critically ill patients. Multiple factors including ubiquitin-proteasome system, proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress contribute muscle proteolysis.

It is known that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) possesses a variety of functions like anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and anti-apoptosis effects. In order to investigate the mechanisms under the condition, researchers are going to examine the role of HO-1 in muscle atrophy during sepsis.

What participants receive

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

  • therapy according to SSC guidelines and muscle biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Septic patients will be treated according to the international guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock 2012. Skeletal muscle biopsies, blotted free from blood, are frozen within 30 seconds in liquid nitrogen, and stored in liquid nitrogen until processing.150-300 mg muscle (wet weight) was routinely obtained , which is more than sufficient for the analyses proposed, with some muscle remaining for any additional validation assays that may arise during the course of the research. Muscle will be processed either for isolation of mRNA/microRNA or protein

  • standard surgery for femoral fracture and muscle biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Patients with femoral fracture will under standard surgery for fracture fixation. Percutaneous needle muscle biopsies will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Atrophy, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2015. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

HO-1 mRNA and protein expression, mitochondria function of musculus vastus lateralis (time frame: 3 days after diagnosis). 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 9 Feb 2015.
