  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult (18 years old ≤ age ≤ 80 years old) immunocompromised patients admitted to hospital with moderate to severe ARF diagnosed within the last 72 hours, which meets the indications for ventilatory support.
  • Patients are considered as moderate to severe ARF when the ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) is between 85 and 170 while the patient is breathing oxygen through a Venturi mask, or clinically diagnosed as the following:
  • 30 mmHg < PaO2 < 50 mmHg on room air;
  • Clinical evidence of respiratory distress (intercostal recession, polypnea >35/min or dyspnea at rest).
  • Patients are considered as immunocompromised when clinically diagnosed as at least one of the following:

About this study

VENIM is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled trial of studying the initial ventilation strategy for adult immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure.

Read the detailed description

The VENIM is a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effects of NIV compared with IMV in adult immunocompromised patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory failure (ARF). Patients who meet the indications for both ventilatory supports will be included. The intervention will consist of randomly allocation, treatment with NIV or IMV, concomitant medication. Primary outcome is 30-day hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes include in-hospital mortality, length of stay in hospital, improvement of oxygenation, nosocomial infections, seven-day organ failure, adverse events of intervention, et al. Subgroups with different disease severity, causes of immunodeficiency and types of ARF will also be analyzed.

Being tested
Noninvasive mechanical ventilation, Invasive mechanical ventilation

What participants receive

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

  • Noninvasive mechanical ventilationProcedure or surgery

    Noninvasive mechanical ventilation will be delivered to the patient through a mask. The mask will be adjusted and connected to a ventilation system.

  • Invasive mechanical ventilationProcedure or surgery

    Invasive mechanical ventilation will be initially performed by using the volume controlled mode, and could be adjusted to pressure controlled mode or other modes based on clinical situation.

  3. Length of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: through study study completion, an average of 2 years

  4. Nosocomial infections

    Measured: through study study completion, an average of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Noninvasive mechanical ventilation and Invasive mechanical ventilation in people with Immunocompromised Patients and Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

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 10 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 6 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 Yi Li, M.D. (13693109826, billliyi@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

30-day all-cause mortality (time frame: the 30th day after patient inclusion in the study). 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 NCT02983851, 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 6 Dec 2016.
