About this study

Official title: Measuring Auto-fluorescence of White Corpuscles for the Early Diagnosis and the Monitoring of Pneumonia in Intensive Care Units

The diagnosis of pneumonia is challenging in Intensive Care Unit. The auto-fluorescence of white corpuscles is altered during pneumonia. In presence of bacterial growth on lung samples, the measure of autofluorescence of white corpuscles could help the clinicians to discriminate bacterial colonization from acute infection.

What participants receive

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

  • Autofluorescence of white corpuscleOther

    Measure of auto-fluorescence of white corpuscles cells harvested from tracheal aspirate and/or bronchoalveolar lavages

What is being measured

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

  1. Pneumonia

    Diagnosis of pneumonia (Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score > 6, with assessment of the chest radiography by a blinded investigator)

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score > 6

    Measured: day 3

  2. Acute respiratory distress syndrome

    PaO2/FiO2 < 200 with a PEEP > 5 (Berlin definition)

    Measured: day 90

  3. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: day 90

  4. Intensive Care unit Length of stay

    Measured: day 90

  5. Mortality

    Measured: day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia, run by Nantes University Hospital at 4 sites 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 4 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 11 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

Pneumonia (time frame: 28 days). 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 NCT02717767, 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 11 Apr 2022.
