About this study

Official title: Endocan; Can be a New Biomarker in Ventilator-associated Pneumonia?

In this study; in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, making the day series Endocan measurements during the first 5 day to look at whether there is a relationship between the levels of VAP with Endocan. This relationship, if any, aimed to investigate whether correlated with clinical and laboratory findings [presence of fever, pathological lung X-ray, the number of white blood cells (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)] .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Serial Endocan Measurements, run by Erzincan University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 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 27 Sep 2016. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Contact ILKE KUPELI (+905555485632, ilkeser2004@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

relationship between the level of Endocan and development of VAP (time frame: 9 month). 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 NCT02916277, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 Sep 2016.
