About this study

Official title: Comparing SGC and Conventional Empiric Treatment for Glucose Control in Critically Ill Patients With Sepsis in ICU

Poorly glycemic control in critically ill patients can increase their mortality, while safe and efficient glucose control is laborious and time-consuming. The Space Glucose Control which is installed with eMPC(enhanced Model Predictive Control) can get the blood glucose target range safely and effectively through regulating insulin dose rate, and decrease the glucose variability. This study is a random controlled trial involving the patients with sepsis in intensive care unit in order to evaluate the difference of safety and efficacy of blood glucose control between SGC directed and conventional treatment. At last, the trial results can determine whether the Space Glucose Control can control blood glucose safely and effectively in the patients with sepsis in intensive care units.

Read the detailed description

Design: The study was conducted as a single-centre, open randomized controlled, parallel trial.

Study population: Adult general ICU patients with sepsis and assumed to require at least 3 days of intensive care were recruited. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criterion of glucose≥9.0 mmol/L were randomly assigned using serially numbered to either the intervention group (BG control by SGC) or the control group (conventional empiric BG management). The both group aim to establish the BG levels 5.8-8.9mmol/L.

Study protocol: BG measurements were performed using glucometer to test the fingertip capillary blood sample for the BG levels. As for patients with shock or required vasopressor, arterial BG was sampled to measure through the glucometer. Insulin was infused intravenously applying the standard perfusor of the ICU. Average glucose, glucose variability, SOFA score, APACHE II score, and HLA-DR were recorded. All trial-related activities were carried out until the end of the patient's ICU stay, or for a period of 72 hours. Meanwhile, enteral and parenteral nutrition was administrated to patients according to their condition.

Statistical analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis. The percentage of values in the target range (5.8-8.9mmol/L) was defined as primary end point for the assessment of glucose control. Data are reported as mean±SD values if not otherwise indicated. Data analysis was performed using SPSS19.0.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Sepsis and Hyperglycemia, run by Southeast University, China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 2 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Min Mo, Doctor (13914719904, momin_2002@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

glucose variability (time frame: up to 3days). 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 2 Dec 2016.
