Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will consist of patients who are 1) primarily assigned to the Division of General Surgery, Trauma, and Surgical Critical Care and 2) admitted to the surgical intensive care units will be screened for eligibility based on enrollment criteria.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if fluorescence angiography can detect occult shock (hypoperfusion).

Read the detailed description

Hypoperfusion may be multifactorial, due to hemorrhage, shock or other disease processes resulting in either capillary leak into the interstitium or profound vasodilatation. Currently, diagnosis of hypoperfusion depends on indirect markers of perfusion such as lactate, blood pressure, creatinine, urine output, and mental status. These are all late signs of hypoperfusion as they are precursors to impending system failure. In this study, the focus will be on one of the most common causes of hypoperfusion in the surgical population; sepsis and septic shock.

What participants receive

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

  • skin perfusion imageDevice

    Upon enrollment following written, informed consent, the patient will receive an injection of 7.5 mg of Indocyanine Green (ICG) intravenously (Dilute 25 mg of Indocyanine Green (ICG) with 10 cc of solvent to achieve a 2.5 mg/cc concentration.) Following injection, Novadaq's LUNA™ fluorescence angiography system will be utilized to map a standard skin perfusion image (SPI) over the upper extremities and anterior chest wall.

Study groups in NCT02846727
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sepsis GroupThis group will consist of surgical intensive care patients with diagnosis of sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock.
Receives: Device: skin perfusion image
Control GroupThis group will consist of patients that serve as controls who do not have diagnosis of sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock.
Receives: Device: skin perfusion image

What is being measured

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

  1. Skin Perfusion Value

    We aim to obtain a SPI within 6 hours of enrollment. Skin perfusion images produced by LUNA have computerized, graded quantification of fluorescein intensity (values 0-256). The mean score will be used to compare Sepsis and Control arms.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoperfusion, run by Yale University at 1 site in United States.

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 23 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2018. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Skin Perfusion Value (time frame: Up to 6 hours). 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 11 Jan 2018.
