About this study

Official title: Insufficient Cellular Oxygen in ICU Patients With Anaemia: the INOX ICU-2 Study

The purpose of this study is whether the mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) is a feasible and reliable tool in ICU patients with anaemia undergoing red cell transfusion to ultimately personalize blood transfusion decisions in the ICU.

Read the detailed description

Evidence is increasing that in some cases a Hb trigger of 7-8g/dl may be too low and te question arises whether an individualized red cell transfusion strategy may benefit critically ill patients. New studies have shown the potential of protoporphyrin IX-triple state lifetime technique to measure mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) in vivo, which possibly is an early indicator of oxygen disturbance in the cell and therefore a physiological trigger for red cell transfusion. The goals are: 1. Determining the feasibility of using mitoPO2 and the variability of mitoPO2 measurements in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients before and after receiving a red cell transfusion 2. Describing the effects of red cell transfusion and the associated change in [Hb] on mitoPO2 and on other physiologic measures of tissue oxygenation and oxygen balance 3. Describing the association between mitoPO2 and vital organ functions. Included patients will undergo red cell transfusion as planned. However, red cell transfusion will be delayed by 2 hours. At multiple predefined moments data collection including blood samples and measurements of mitoPO2 will take place.

The results of this study cannot be immediately translated to clinical practice. Using these results, the investigators will design a phase 2 diagnostic study, most probably a randomized clinical trial that will yield applied knowledge with respect to personalizing red cell transfusion. Application will be in ICU patients with anaemia who might or might not profit from red cell transfusions. It will lead to a reduction of both over- and under- transfusion.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03092297
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ICU patients with anaemiaAt admission to the ICU all patients, or their legal representatives, expected to stay at the ICU for longer than 24 hours will be asked to participate in the study and will be asked informed consent. ICU patients with anaemia in whom a central venous catheter is already in place and in whom a red cell transfusion is planned, will be included in the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Variability of mitoPO2

    Variability of mitoPO2 before and after red cell transfusion. This will be compared to traditional parameters used to measure oxygenation and oxygen balance.

    Measured: Variability of mitoPO2 will be assessed during 8 predefined moments (within a timeframe of 24 hours) in the study

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Organ damage

    Value of mitoPO2 measurements for predicting (ischemic) organ damage

    Measured: Value of mitoPO2 in predicting (ischemic) organ damage will be assessed during 8 predefined moments (within a timeframe of 24 hours) in the study

  2. Microcirculation

    Association of mitoPO2 with the microcirculation

    Measured: Association of the mitoPO2 with the microcirculation will be assessed during 2 predefined moments (before transfusion and 24 hours after transfusion) in the study

  3. Length of stay

    Length of hospital-stay and ICu stay

    Measured: Length of stay will be assessed during the 3 months follow-up time

  4. Mortality

    90-day mortality, hospital mortality and ICU mortality

    Measured: Mortality will be assessed during the 3 months follow-up time

  5. Adverse events

    Adverse and serious adverse events of the mitoPO2 measurements

    Measured: Association of the mitoPO2 with adverse events will be assessed during 8 predefined moments (within a timeframe of 24 hours) in the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Care and Anemia, run by Sanquin-LUMC J.J van Rood Center for Clinical Transfusion Research at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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 was stopped early (reason given: COVID-19 pandemic). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Variability of mitoPO2 (time frame: Variability of mitoPO2 will be assessed during 8 predefined moments (within a timeframe of 24 hours) 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 NCT03092297, which also lists 2 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 19 Jan 2023.
