Trial summary

Mortality in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is high (40 to 60 %). Protective mechanical ventilation is the cornerstone of the ARDS therapeutic strategies. Recently, a prospective multicenter study demonstrates that short-term infusion of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) reduces hospital mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Monitoring in Intensive Care Unit of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (NMBA) Used for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) After Cardiothoracic Surgery

Mortality in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is high (40 to 60 %). Protective mechanical ventilation is the cornerstone of the ARDS therapeutic strategies. Recently, a prospective multicenter study demonstrates that short-term infusion of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) reduces hospital mortality. However, the mechanisms through which NMBAs could improve survival remain speculative and the dose of NMBA needed to observe a beneficial effect is still debated. In hypoxemic ventilated patients, continuous cisatracurium infusion with an objective of no response at orbicularis oculi to train-of-four (TOF) stimulation and an objective of two responses had similar effects on respiratory parameters. In their study, Papazian and colleagues used cisatracurium with an initial standard dose of 15 mg followed by a continuous infusion of 37.5mg/h, based on previous results of studies with patients monitored for paralysis. Atracurium and its stereoisomer cisatracurium are non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs, both used in anaesthesia and intensive care units.

The aim of this study was to compare in ARDS patients a dose adjustment of continuous-atracurium intravenous infusion with an end point of one or two response at orbicularis oculi to TOF stimulation, and a dose adjustment to achieve clinical goals of protective ventilation without monitoring of TOF stimulation.

What is being measured

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

  1. cumulative total dose of atracurium (mg per kg per hour, administered from the initial phase of ARDS until disruption ≥48 hours)

    was the primary outcome, calculated by the following formula:(Initial bolus dose +(standard bolus dose x number of repetition doses)+cumulative continuous infusion dose (mg/h x number of hours))/ weight (kg) x duration of administration (hour).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Train of four monitoring in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Centre Chirurgical Marie Lannelongue 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 27 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 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?

cumulative total dose of atracurium (mg per kg per hour, administered from the initial phase of ARDS until disruption ≥48 hours) (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT02546947, 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 27 Feb 2017.
