About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of an Algorithm Driven Sepsis Prediction Biomarker

A sepsis early warning predictive algorithm, InSight, has been developed and validated on a large, diverse patient cohort. In this prospective study, the ability of InSight to predict severe sepsis patients is investigated. Specifically, InSight is compared with a well established severe sepsis detector in the UCSF electronic health record (EHR).

Being tested
Severe Sepsis Prediction, Severe Sepsis Detection
Keywords
InSight, Dascena
Medical subject headings
Sepsis, Shock, Septic

What participants receive

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

  • Severe Sepsis PredictionOther

    Upon receiving an InSight alert, healthcare provider follows standard practices in assessing possible (severe) sepsis and intervening accordingly.

  • Severe Sepsis DetectionOther

    Upon receiving information from the severe sepsis detector in the UCSF electronic health record, healthcare provider follows standard practices in assessing possible (severe) sepsis and intervening accordingly.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
With InSightExperimentalHealthcare provider receives an alert from InSight for patients trending towards severe sepsis. Healthcare provider also receives information from the severe sepsis detector in the UCSF electronic health record.
Receives: Other: Severe Sepsis Prediction; Other: Severe Sepsis Detection
Without InSightActive comparatorHealthcare provider does not receive any alerts from InSight. Healthcare provider receives information from the severe sepsis detector in the UCSF electronic health record.
Receives: Other: Severe Sepsis Detection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Severe Sepsis Prediction and Severe Sepsis Detection in people with Sepsis and Septic Shock, run by Dascena 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 1 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 23 Sep 2021. 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 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?

Hospital length of stay (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 45 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 NCT03015454, which also lists 5 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 23 Sep 2021.
