Trial summary

Animal experimentals have shown that the more physiology-driven airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) methodologies in ARDS may significantly improve alveolar recruitment and gas exchange, increased homogeneity, and attenuate lung injury, without circulatory depression, as compared with conventional low tial… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Random Control Study: Early Use of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation Updated (APRVplus) Protocol in Acute Respiratory Disease Syndrome (ARDS)

Animal experimentals have shown that the more physiology-driven airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) methodologies in ARDS may significantly improve alveolar recruitment and gas exchange, increased homogeneity, and attenuate lung injury, without circulatory depression, as compared with conventional low tial volume lung protective ventilation. our previous single centre,random control study showed that clinical benefit for early use of APRV in ARDS. Nonetheless, clinical data on ARDS are still limited, most of them derived from small clinical trials in which variable outdated APRV settings were used, consequently, the findings of these studies were controversial.

Additionally, the previous single-centre,random control study showed that clinical benefit for APRV.Therefore,the investigators are ready to design a multiple centres,random control study to further verify the effect of APRV plus protocol in ARDS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing APRVplus protocol and Low tidal volume ventilation in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by West China Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 12 Apr 2024. 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 China. 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 Yongfang Zhou (86 18140212276, zyfmg@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03549910, 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 12 Apr 2024.
