About this study

Official title: Prospective Registration of Severe Pneumocystis Jiroveci Pneumonia Requiring ICU

the investigators aim to set up a multicenter registry study for severe PJP requiring ICU admission. The purpose of this study is

  1. to establish a prospective severe PJP registry about clinical characteristics, laboratory and radiographic findings, critical care management and outcomes.
  2. to explore the predictive factors associated with outcomes ;
  3. to compare the difference between PJP patients with HIV and without HIV infection.
Read the detailed description

Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) is a common opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. Although the mortality of patients with mild to moderate PJP has declined substantially, the reported outcomes of severe PJP requiring ICU admission, especially with mechanical ventilation are grave. The data on this group of patients is very limited and mainly comes from retrospective studies.

the investigators aim to set up a multicenter registry study for patient with severe PJP requiring ICU admission to provide comprehensive descriptive data on diagnosis, clinical course, critical care management and outcomes in a large cohort.

All patients with PJP admitted to the participating ICU during a two-year period will be enrolled. The CRF will be made available to the participating sites as a printable paper-based CRF.

The following individual patient data for study participants will be collected:

  • General demographic information
  • Presence of risk factors for PJP and comorbid condition
  • use of prophylactic SMZ/TMP, immunosuppressive medications prior to ICU admission
  • Information about PJP and co-infection diagnosis
  • vital signs, laboratory(blood serum and BALF sample) and radiologic data at ICU admission and during ICU stay
  • organ failures and severity of the disease at admission, new onset of organ failures during ICU stay
  • Medications for PJP, time course and modalities and settings for respiratory support
  • ICU, 28-day mortality, hospital, 90-day mortality

What is being measured

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

  1. 28-day ICU mortality

    28 days mortality after ICU admission

    Measured: Day 28

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. hospital mortality

    mortality at hospital discharge

    Measured: Day 90 (censored at hospital discharge if discharge prior to Day 90)

  2. ICU length of stay

    ICU length of stay at ICU discharge

    Measured: Day 90

  3. hospital length of stay

    hospital length of stay at hospital discharge

    Measured: Day 90

  4. occurrence of SMZ/TMP treatment failure

    SMZ/TMP treatment failure is defined as worsening P/F or radiographic features with a requirement for an increased respiratory support after 7 days of SMZ/TMP treatment (SMZ/TMP)

    Measured: day 7 after SMZ/TMP treatment

  5. mechanical ventilation free days

    days without mechanical ventilation during ICU

    Measured: day 28

  6. occurrence of non-invasive mechanical ventilation

    Non-invasive mechanical ventilation failure is defined as need for switch from non-invasive mechanical ventilation to invasive mechanical ventilation due to deteriorated respiratory failure

    Measured: day 28

  7. occurrence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum

    pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum is confirmed by chest X ray or CT

    Measured: day 28

  8. ICU acquired infectious disease

    incidence of pulmonary of extra-pulmonary infections. Diagnosis of infections disease will be defined by the need of treatment.

    Measured: day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumocystis Jiroveci Pneumonia and Intensive Care Unit, 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2017. 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 jinmin Peng, Dr. (86-010-69155036, pjm731@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

28-day ICU mortality (time frame: Day 28). 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 29 Jun 2017.
