Trial summary

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in the innate immune response. In addition to activating the complement, MBL can induce cytokine production and contribute to a deleterious inflammatory response with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers

Study population: Any patient according to the present invention, has self optimized by a medical report: sedation, curarization, protective ventilation and adapted PEEP, under and without treatment with BAL and blood samples on the dry tube and EDTA in its care can be included in our study. At the time of the diagnosis of ARDS, and during the aetiological assessment, one can highlight a blood sample, samples of tubes for the assays of the inflammation.

About this study

Official title: Evolution of Serum and Bronchoalveolar Inflammatory Parameters in Patients With Severe Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Without or With Extracorporeal Mechanical Assistance

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in the innate immune response. In addition to activating the complement, MBL can induce cytokine production and contribute to a deleterious inflammatory response with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection. The aim was to determine if serum MBL levels correlate with the risk of mortality in intensive care units (ICU) patients with A(H1N1)pdm09 infection.

Prospective observational study was performed in ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. Demographic characteristics and severity indices were recorded at ICU admission. MBL was assayed from blood drawn at influenza diagnosis within 24-48 h following the ICU admission. Outcomes were compared according to MBL levels.

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in the innate immune response. In addition to activating the complement, MBL can induce cytokine production and contribute to a deleterious inflammatory response with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection. The aim was to determine if serum MBL levels correlate with the risk of mortality in intensive care units (ICU) patients with A(H1N1)pdm09 infection.

Prospective observational study was performed in ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. Demographic and clinical data at admission and during the ICU stay were recorded from the medical files of each patient and collected in a database to evaluate variables potentially associated with in-hospital mortality. Data baselines were recorded at admission. Mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requirements, and the use of vasopressor drugs were noted during ICU stay. To determine illness severity, SAPSII and SOFA scoring systems were applied to all patients within 24 h of ICU admission.Demographic characteristics and severity indices were recorded at ICU admission. MBL was assayed from blood drawn at influenza diagnosis within 24-48 h following the ICU admission. Outcomes were compared according to MBL levels.

What participants receive

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

  • Empirical antimicrobial therapyOther

    All patients with pulmonary symptoms received empirical antimicrobial therapy with ceftriaxone and rovamycin or levofloxacin on admission and this was subsequently adapted to any documented bacterial infection if positive.

What is being measured

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

  1. Levels of serum MBL are associated with mortality in critically ill patients with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 viral pneumonia.

    The aim of the present study was to determine whether levels of serum MBL are associated with mortality in critically ill patients with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 viral pneumonia. When a patient met criteria for ARDS, the closest residual blood sample taken on the same day was obtained from the central hospital laboratory in the 24-48 h following the intubation or in the acute phase of the viral infection. MBL serum concentrations were assayed by an Oligomer ELISA kit (BioPorto) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Results are expressed as median [interquartile range (IQR)] or number (percent). Survivors were compared with nonsurvivors using the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and Chi2 test for categorical variables with Yates' correction or Fisher's exact test if necessary. A correlation was searched between MBL and inflammatory parameters using spearman test.

    Measured: 7days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of H1N1 Influenza, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 24 Jun 2026. 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 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?

Levels of serum MBL are associated with mortality in critically ill patients with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 viral pneumonia. (time frame: 7days). 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 24 Jun 2026.
