About this study

Official title: Dexmedetomidine for Non-invasive Ventilation After Chest Trauma (VENDETTA)

Crossover randomized controlled double blinded trial :

  • The primary endpoint is the duration of Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) session (minutes) with dexmedetomidine (DEX) or placebo.
  • Secondary endpoints will be the sedation level as assessed by the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS), the number of interventions to allow the completion of NIV session, the pain intensity level as assessed by visual analogue scale, the morphine and ketamine consumption during NIV sessions, the comparison of blood gas measurements before and after NIV sessions, the reproducibility of NIV cycles. The side effects of DEX will be notified.
Being tested
Dexmedetomidine, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Thoracic Injuries

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Duration of NIV session

    Minutes

    Measured: During ICU stay (expected average of 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale

    From -5 (Unarousable) to +4 (Combative)

    Measured: During ICU stay (expected average of 2 weeks)

  2. Number of interventions on NIV settings

    Measured: During ICU stay (expected average of 2 weeks)

  3. Morphine consumption

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Thoracic Injuries, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 9 Mar 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Duration of NIV session (time frame: During ICU stay (expected average of 2 weeks)). 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 Mar 2017.
