About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Computer-assisted Vasopressor Infusion Using Continuous Noninvasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in High-risk Patients Undergoing Renal Transplant Surgery

Intraoperative hypotension and blood pressure variability are associated with postoperative complications in surgical patients.

The investigators have developed a closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller that titrates norepinephrine to correct hypotension.

After having tested the system in a small cohort series of patients undergoing major surgeries, the investigators aimed to test the feasibility of the CLV controller guided noninvasively and continuously with the ClearSight system (Edwards Lifesciences, USA) in three high risk patients undergoing renal transplant surgery

Read the detailed description

Intraoperative hypotension is frequent in patients undergoing surgery and can negatively impact organ perfusion.

The investigators have developed a closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller to more efficiently correct hypotension.

The investigators tested it extensively in preclinical studies and recently demonstrated its feasibility and excellent performance metrics in a short series of high-risk patients undergoing major surgical procedures.

In these studies, the controller was linked to a minimally-invasive advanced hemodynamic monitoring device utilizing an arterial line which then controlled a vasopressor infusion. However, the vast majority of patients who undergo surgery do not require an arterial line but should still benefit from rapid corrections of hypotensive episodes that are less rapidly detected via an intermittent non-invasive blood pressure cuff. Fortunately, completely noninvasive technology now allows us to continuously monitor blood pressure and therefore extend the use of our closed-loop vasopressor system to patients in whom an arterial catheter would not typically be placed. Patients undergoing renal transplant surgeries are the ideal patient population.

The investigators aimed to test the feasibility of guiding our CLV controller with a continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring device (ClearSight system, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) in three patients (case series)

What participants receive

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

  • Closed-loop systemDevice

    the CLV system will correct hypotension by automated adjustment of norepinephrine.

Study groups in NCT04111055
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Closed-loop groupExperimentalThe MAP of the patient will be managed by the CLV system to avoid hypotension. The MAP target selected in the closed-loop system will be the patient's MAP target ( same target as patient's MAP value preoperatively). Then the closed-loop system will have to adjust norepinephrine infusion rate to keep that MAP value within 10% of patient's target.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of case time in hypotension

    % of case time without hypotension. MAP of at least 5mmHg below the chosen CLV target

    Measured: during surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of active treatment time spent in a hypertensive state

    Percentage of active treatment time spent in a hypertensive state, defined as a MAP >5mmHg above the chosen target MAP with an active norepinephrine infusion

    Measured: during surgery

  2. Amount of vasopressor used

    Amount of vasopressor administered to the patient

    Measured: during surgery

  3. Incidence of acute kidney injury

    Incidence of acute kidney injury defined with the KDIGO classification

    Measured: 30 days postsurgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Closed-loop system in people with Hemodynamic (MAP) Stability, run by Erasme University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 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 18 Nov 2019. 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 Belgium. 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?

Percentage of case time in hypotension (time frame: during surgery). 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 18 Nov 2019.
