About this study

The proposed work will determine the effect of neuromuscular blockade on physical function and recovery in patients with ARDS. The investigators will conduct a prospective ancillary study at five PETAL clinical centers that will evaluate the neuromuscular structure and function of ROSE (Reevaluation of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade) patients during and after critical illness, including in-person assessments at 6 months after hospital discharge. The investigators hypothesize that patients randomized to NMB will have an increase in ICU-acquired neuromuscular dysfunction during and after critical illness.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will assess this dysfunction in different ways, appropriate for patients' stage of critical illness and anticipated recovery. During critical illness, the investigators will use nerve conduction studies (NCS) to assess nerve and muscle function, identifying presence of early neuromyopathy (primary outcome, Aim 1). Additional early assessments will include bedside ultrasound to determine muscle mass and echogenicity, indices of atrophy and loss of muscle architecture. Later in acute hospitalization as patients are able to participate in testing, the investigators will use hand grip dynamometry to assess muscle strength (primary outcome, Aim 2). Additional assessments at this time will be hand held dynamometry to determine proximal muscle strength, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and repeat ultrasound to evaluate muscle mass, and short physical performance battery (SPPB) to assess activity. After hospital discharge-at 6 months after ARDS-the investigators will assess activity in-person using the SPPB (primary outcome, Aim 3). Additional post-hospital assessments include detailed evaluation of healthcare utilization, six minute walk testing (6MWT) to determine endurance, and repetition of previous assessments of muscle structure, function and strength to provide novel, detailed information of recovery process.

Each aim tests a distinct hypothesis of the effect of randomization to NMB on ICU-acquired neuromuscular dysfunction, investigating different time points and aspects of physical function, so aims are not interdependent. For example, it is plausible that the direct toxicity of NMB on muscle will lead to early evidence of neuromyopathy, manifest as reduced muscle depolarization amplitudes with nerve stimulation. But if NMB attenuates lung injury, strength may be improved by hospital discharge, despite early injury to muscle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Neuromyopathies, run by University of Washington 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 1 Feb 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Catherine Hough, MD (2067443356), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Neuromyopathy (time frame: Through 6 months after hospital discharge). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Feb 2017.
