About this study

Official title: Hemoadsorption With CytoSorb® in Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome: a Pilot Study (The CATCH Trial: Post Cardiac Arrest Therapy With Cytosorb Hemoadsorption)

This prospective single-centre randomized control trial aims at evaluating the safety and efficacy of hemoadsorption with CytoSorb® in 40 patients with Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome admitted to the ICU.

Read the detailed description

Patients presenting Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS) in the 24 hours following their admission in Intensive Care Unit will be randomly assigned either to a control group (standard of care) either to a "Hemoadsorption" group. In the latter, the patient will be connected in the 6 hours following randomization to an extracorporeal circuit, in which a Cytosorb ® cartridge will be placed. The circuit will be set up in hemoperfusion mode. The therapy will take place for a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 24 hours. Anticoagulation will be achieved using a regional heparin-protamin regimen.

Blood samples will be collected at randomization, T1 (6 hours post-randomization), T2 (12 hours after randomization), T3 (24 hours after randomization), T4 (48 hours after randomization) and T5 (48 hours after randomization), to assess change in inflammatory cytokine levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in cytokine levels

    Plasma levels reduction of the following inflammatory mediators: IL-1β,IL-1Ra, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α.

    Measured: From baseline (randomization) to 72 hours after randomization

  2. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Rate of intervention-related complications

    Measured: From beginning of hemoadsorption to 24 hours after the end of hemoadsorption, incidence of adverse events such as haemorrhagic complications, catheter-insertion related complications and anaphylactoid reactions

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Vasopressor requirements

    Including the number of patients with a 50% decrease in the baseline vasopressor dose after 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours, and the % of patients requiring a vasopressor dose increase within 24 hours of baseline

    Measured: From baseline (randomization) to 72 hours after randomization

  2. In-hospital mortality

    All-cause mortality

    Measured: Day 14, 28 and 90 after randomization

  3. Shock reversal

    Percentage of patients with shock reversal shock reversal being defined in the present study as a norepinephrine dose <0.1μg/kg/min to maintain MAP >60-70 mmHg and a serum lactate level ≤2 mmol/L

    Measured: Within 24 hours from randomization

  4. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA)

    Total Daily SOFA Score. The score ranges from 0 (best outcome) to 24 (worst outcome).

    Measured: Day 1 to 7 after randomization

  5. CRP and Procalcitonin Levels

    Measured: Day 1, 2, 3 after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CytoSorb® Hemoadsorption in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 0 inclusion and 13 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 14 Mar 2022. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Change in cytokine levels (time frame: From baseline (randomization) to 72 hours after randomization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03523039, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Mar 2022.
