About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Sevoflurane in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation in Intensive Care Unit: A Comparative Prospective Study

Prospective, open-label, single-center, study to investigate the effect of sevoflurane sedation compared to a propofol-controlled arm during COPD exacerbation requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in ICU.

Primary outcome measure:

Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patients,

Secondary outcomes measures:

Respiratory mechanics (Maximum pressure, PEEPi and PEEPtot, trapped volume), Gas exchange by the help of blood gases, The heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation by electro-impedancemetry, Evolution of pulmonary inflammation, Trophicity and contractility of the diaphragm,

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    During the first 30 minutes after randomization, patients will be treated with propofol (same dosage as the propofol group).

    Once the AnaConDa® system is installed, sevoflurane administration will begin (propofol is stopped).

  • PropofolDrug

    In the control group, sedation will be maintained with the above objective (RASS between -4 and -5, BIS between 40 and 60) until the patient is extubated.

    In the sevoflurane group, propofol is administrated during the first 30 minutes after the randomization and when the AnaConDa® system is installed propofol is stopped.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patients

    Total airway resistance will be measured using the ventilator by setting a 5s inspiratory pause and to measure the sum of (Pmax-P1)/Flow + (P1-Pplat)/Flow. The mechanical ventilation setting will be standardised during the study period and will be similar between the two groups.

    Measured: Hour 48

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Maximum pressure

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  2. PEEPi

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  3. PEEPtot

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  4. Trapped volume

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  5. Gas exchange by the help of blood gases

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  6. Heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation by electro-impedancemetry

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  7. Proinflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, TNFalpha) and sRAGE measurements in miniBroncho-Alveolar lavages

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

  8. Thickness of the diaphragm measured by ultrasound

    Measured: Evolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane and Propofol in people with COPD Exacerbation and Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 28 Dec 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 France. 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: Study halted prematurely and will not resume; participants are no longer being examined or receiving intervention The study was terminated prematurely due to inclusion difficulties). 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?

Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patients (time frame: Hour 48). 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 28 Dec 2021.
