About this study

Official title: Muscle Lactate and Lactate to Pyruvate Ratio Clearance as Useful Biomarkers for the Prediction of Mortality in Septic Shock Patients

We conducted this study aiming to assess the performance of muscle Lactate and lactate to pyruvate (L/P) ratio clearance in predicting mortality in septic shock patients by using microdialysis.

Read the detailed description

Microcirculatory alterations are frequently observed in patients with sepsis. In vivo microdialysis (MD) is a bedside technique that can monitor tissue metabolic changes. We conducted this study aiming to assess the performance of muscle Lactate and lactate to pyruvate (L/P) ratio clearance in predicting mortality in septic shock patients by using microdialysis.

Interstitial tissue concentrations of lactate, pyruvate, glucose and glycerol were obtained at baseline and every 6 hours for 3 days by using muscle microdialysis. Clearances of muscle lactate, and L/P ratio were defined as the percentage change in muscle lactate level or L/P ratio compared to baseline (H0) values. A positive value of clearance means a decrease in the rate of the parameter under study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing microdialysis in people with Septic Shock, run by Military Hospital of Tunis at 2 sites in Tunisia.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 20 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Tunisia. 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?

Clearances of muscle lactate, and L/P ratio (time frame: 3 days). 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 20 Apr 2021.
