About this study
Official title: Early Use of Prone Position in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is widely used in the salvage treatment of critical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, reducing lung injury, accelerating lung recovery, shortening VV-ECMO support time, and decreasing complications during the treatment need further study. By changing the body position of ARDS patients, the prone position can increase the lung's dorsal ventilation and improve the lung's ventilation/blood flow ratio to improve oxygenation. Previous multicenter studies have proved that the prone position can significantly reduce the mortality of patients with moderate and severe ARDS. However, patients with severe ARDS rescue by VV-ECMO rarely combine with a prone position.On the one hand, with the support of ECMO, the patient's oxygenation will be significantly improved, and they will no longer need the assistance of a prone position. In addition, the ECMO cannula brings some challenges to implementing a prone position. Only a few cohort studies have reported that VV-ECMO combined with a prone position could improve the oxygenation index and respiratory system compliance during the late treatment period.
The initial reason for PP in ARDS patients was to alleviate severe hypoxemia, as it was an efficient means to improve oxygenation in most patients. However, some patients were categorized as non-responders in the PP regarding oxygenation, which caused VV-ECMO therapy to be initiated. Should we decide to perform PP after VV-ECMO therapy no longer? This study evaluates whether early use of PP during VV-ECMO would increase the proportion of patients successfully weaned from VV-ECMO support compared with supine positioning in severe ARDS patients who received PP before ECMO.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is widely used in the salvage treatment of critical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, reducing lung injury, accelerating lung recovery, shortening VV-ECMO support time, and decreasing complications during the treatment need further study. By changing the body position of ARDS patients, the prone position can increase the lung's dorsal ventilation and improve the lung's ventilation/blood flow ratio to improve oxygenation. Previous multicenter studies have proved that the prone position can significantly reduce the mortality of patients with moderate and severe ARDS. However, patients with severe ARDS rescue by VV-ECMO rarely combine with a prone position.On the one hand, with the support of ECMO, the patient's oxygenation will be significantly improved, and they will no longer need the assistance of a prone position. In addition, the ECMO cannula brings some challenges to implementing a prone position. Only a few cohort studies have reported that VV-ECMO combined with a prone position could improve the oxygenation index and respiratory system compliance during the late treatment period.
The initial reason for PP in ARDS patients was to alleviate severe hypoxemia, as it was an efficient means to improve oxygenation in most patients. However, some patients were categorized as non-responders in the PP regarding oxygenation, which caused VV-ECMO therapy to be initiated. Should we decide to perform PP after VV-ECMO therapy no longer? This study evaluates whether early use of PP during VV-ECMO would increase the proportion of patients successfully weaned from VV-ECMO support compared with supine positioning in severe ARDS patients who received PP before ECMO.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult, run by Beijing Chao Yang Hospital at 1 site in China.
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 9 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 19 Sep 2024. 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 China. 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?
The proportion of patients successfully weaned from VV-ECMO, (time frame: After patients enrolled 60 days). 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 NCT04139733, which also lists 15 linked publications.
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 19 Sep 2024.
