Trial summary

Mortality rates in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) are higher in Asia compared to other regions. In adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome, the only therapy that improves mortality rates is a lung protective ventilation strategy. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 21 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: All PICU admission will be screened daily and those who meet the PALICC criteria for PARDS will be recruited and consented (if necessary). We will include those on non-invasive ventilation and alternative modes of ventilation. However, a minimum positive end expiratory pressure of 5cmH2O is necessary for inclusion, as per PALICC. Patients with any type of cardiorespiratory comorbidity will also be included if they fulfill the PALICC criteria for special populations (cyanotic heart disease, chronic lung disease and left ventricular failure). Patients who have limitation of care (i.e. do-not-resuscitate orders) or develop brainstem death will also be included to enable calculation of prevalence.

Who may be able to join

  • Satisfies the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC) criteria for PARDS

Who cannot join

  • Premature neonates with a corrected age of less than 33 weeks and perinatal lung disease
  • High flow nasal cannula

About this study

Official title: Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a Prospective Asian Multicenter Study

Mortality rates in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) are higher in Asia compared to other regions. In adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome, the only therapy that improves mortality rates is a lung protective ventilation strategy. The pediatric ventilation recommendations are extrapolated from evidence in adults, including ventilation with low tidal volume, low peak/plateau pressures and high-end expiratory pressure. A recent retrospective study of ventilation practices in Asia showed varying practices with regards to pulmonary and non-pulmonary therapies, including ventilation. This study aims to determine the prevalence and outcomes of PARDS in the Pediatric Acute and Critical Care Medicine Asian Network (PACCMAN). This study will also determine the use of pulmonary (mechanical ventilation, steroids, neuromuscular blockade, surfactant, pulmonary vasodilators, prone positioning) and non-pulmonary (nutrition, sedation, fluid management, transfusion) PARDS therapies. To achieve this aim, a prospective observational study which involves systematic screening of all pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions and collection of pertinent clinical data will be conducted. Recruitment will be consecutive and follow up will continue to intensive care discharge.

Read the detailed description

The overall objective of this study is to prospectively determine the epidemiology of children with PARDS and describe its management in Asia. The first specific aim is to determine the prevalence of PARDS among PICU admissions. This will be achieved by establishing a systematic manner of screening patients and including them in this study. The second specific aim is to describe the use of pulmonary and non-pulmonary therapies in PARDS. This study will utilize an established dataset to extract pertinent and analyzable clinical data.The third specific aim is to determine the outcome of patients with PARDS. These outcomes will include functional data, PICU mortality, ventilator duration and length of stay data. This is a two-part study - the first part to establish the baseline prevalence and ventilator management strategies, the second part will include the implementation of an evidence based ventilation protocol as part of routine care. The same screening process, eligibility criteria and data collection will apply throughout the two parts. We aim to obtain data for approximately 2years prior to and 2years subsequent to the implementation of the ventilator protocol.

What participants receive

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

  • Ventilation protocolOther

    An evidence based ventilation protocol will be implemented at participating sites. This will include limits on peak inspiratory pressure (28cmH2O), driving pressure (16cmH2O), tidal volume (mild 8ml/kg, mod/severe 6ml/kg), positive end expiratory pressure to fraction of inspired oxygen table, permissive hypercarbia (mild allow pH 7.30, mod/severe allow pH 7.20) and permissive hypoxia (mild SpO2 92-97%, mod/severe SpO2 88-92%).

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of PARDS

    Number of participants diagnosed with PARDS over number of intensive care admissions

    Measured: Through study completion

  2. Mortality

    Number of PARDS participants who died over number of participants diagnosed with PARDS

    Measured: up to 60 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Ventilator free days

    Number of days alive and free of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: up to 28 days

  2. Intensive Care Unit free days

    Number of days alive and discharge from the intensive care unit

    Measured: up to 28 days

  3. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

    Number of participants who require ECMO

    Measured: up to 28 days

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 9 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in China, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and 5 more countries. 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?

Prevalence of PARDS (time frame: Through study completion). 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 NCT04068038, 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 9 Aug 2024.
