About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of 72-hour Infusion of Prostacyclin (1 Nanogram(ng)/Kilogram(kg)/Minute(Min)) in Trauma Patients With Haemorrhagic Shock Induced Endotheliopathy.

A multicenter, randomized (1:1, iloprost: placebo), placebo controlled, blinded, investigator-initiated phase 2b trial in trauma patients with haemorrhagic shock and shock induced endotheliopathy (SHINE), investigating the efficacy and safety of continuous intravenous administrating of iloprost (1 ng/kg/min) versus placebo for 72-hours, in a total of 220 patients.

The study hypothesis is that iloprost may be beneficial as an endothelial rescue treatment as it is anticipated to deactivate the endothelium and restore vascular integrity in trauma patients with haemorrhagic shock (SHINE) suffering from organ failure caused by endothelial breakdown, ultimately improving survival.

Read the detailed description

The main objective in this trial is to investigate whether continuous infusion of iloprost at a dose of 1 ng/kg/min for 72-hours is safe and significantly increase the number of intensive care unit (ICU) free days, within 28 days from admission compared to infusion of placebo in trauma patients with haemorrhagic shock and SHINE.

Patients are presented at the investigator site in an acute critical condition and therefore informed consent will be obtained from a scientific guardian. Next-of-kin and subsequently the patient will co-sign as soon as possible. During the trial additional blood samples will be obtained daily for the first 72 hours. Patients will be observed and assessed continuously. During the extended follow up period at day 28 and 90, no contact will be made to the patient, but the data will be collected from department/hospital databases to establish length of stay and potential mortality.

The trial is conducted in accordance with the Helsinki 2 declaration and International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and in compliance with the protocol. As part of the quality assurance site monitoring will be performed by an independent GCP-Unit including source data verification. Standard Operation Procedure to address protocol specific procedures such as data collection and adverse event reporting are developed.

The power calculation is based on not yet published data from the following trial 'Implementing Treatment Algorithms for the Correction of Trauma Induced Coagulopathy (iTACTIC)' [NTC 02593877] having the same in- and exclusion criteria as the present trial. The number of ICU free days within 30-days from admission is chosen as the primary endpoint and a clinically relevant increase in ICU free days within 28-days of 30% with α 0.05, power 0.85 will require 107 patients in each 1:1 randomization group. We plan on including 110 patients in each group and 220 in total. The final statistical analysis plan will be published before the last patient is included in the trial and analysis of the data from the randomized trial will be performed by Theis Lange, Associate Professor, Section of Biostatistics, Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen.

The primary end point will be analyzed using linear regression adjusted for site. Effect size will be summarized using adjusted mean differences with confidence intervals based on robust standard errors as residuals are not expected to be normally distributed. The same analysis will be employed to continuous secondary outcomes. All-cause mortality will be further illustrated using Kaplan-Meier curves. All analysis will be conducted following the intention to treat principle (this will be the primary analysis) and per-protocol. In addition, the following patient subgroup will also be analyzed separately:

  • Patients with traumatic brain injury

What participants receive

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

  • IloprostDrug

    Also called Intervention

    continuously infusion for 72 hours 1 ng/kg/min

  • Isotonic salineDrug

    Also called Placebo

    continuously infusion for 72 hours equal volume to Iloprost

What is being measured

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

  1. ICU free days

    Defined as the number of days spend alive out of the ICU to day 28. Patients who dies on or prior to day 28 during their initial ICU stay are assigned zero in ICU free days

    Measured: 28 days after admission

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. All-cause mortality

    Vital status of the patient at day 28 and 90.

    Measured: 90 days after admission

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Defined as the total number of days admitted to the hospital until day 90

    Measured: 90 days after admission

  3. Vasopressor free days

    The number of calendar days between admission and 28 days later that the patients is alive and without the use of vasopressor therapy

    Measured: 28 days after admission

  4. Ventilator free days

    The number of calendar days between admission and 28 days later that the patients is alive and without the use of mechanical ventilation. Ventilator meaning mechanical ventilation via endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, except those intubated solely for a procedure. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation will not be included.

    Measured: 28 days after admission

  5. Renal replacement free days

    The number of calendar days between admission and 28 days later that the patient is alive and without renal replacement therapy. Patients with chronic renal replacement therapy initiated prior to the current admission will not be included unless worsen.

    Measured: 28 days after admission

  6. Serious adverse reactions

    Number of serious adverse reactions (SARs) in the 2 arms. SARs is defined as any untoward medical reactions that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect.

    Measured: 4 days after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Iloprost and Isotonic saline in people with Multi Organ Failure, run by Pär Johansson at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Denmark, Norway. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

ICU free days (time frame: 28 days after admission). 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 NCT03903939, 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 8 May 2024.
