About this study

Official title: Molecular Diagnosis and Prognosis of Severe Pulmonary Infection in Immunosuppressed Hosts

Serious pneumonia is a serious inflammation of the lungs caused by various pathogens, resulting in severe bacteraemia or toxemia, which in turn causes blood pressure drop, shock, blurred consciousness, restlessness, delirium and coma, etc., and requires intensive care and treatment in intensive care unit (ICU) because of its seriousness. There is an upward trend in the number of clinically immunosuppressed host patients, including long-term use of glucocorticoids for rheumatoid immune diseases and kidney diseases, tumor chemotherapy, organ transplantation, etc. A huge risk for these patients is the diagnosis and treatment of infections, especially lung infections. We have previously observed a significant increase in mortality from severe pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients, and our recent analysis of 204 patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia found that low lymphatic counts, immunosuppression, etc. were independent risk factors for death in patients. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are the main means to reduce the mortality rate of severe pneumonia. CD55 is an important complement regulatory protein that inhibits C3 and C5 activation by blocking the formation and accelerating the decay of new C3 and C5 convertases, both of which mediate the downstream action of all three complement activation pathways, and CD55 protects host cells from complement attack. Our previous study found that CD55 was significantly elevated in patients with severe pneumonia. Therefore, this project proposes "Early diagnosis of severe pneumonia based on combination of biomarkers with new generation pathogenesis and early clinical manifestations". It is proposed to validate the predictive effects of recently discovered markers such as CD55, HBP and CD64 on severe pneumonia through prospective single-center clinical studies, explore the establishment of new predictive models for early diagnosis of severe pneumonia, and optimize the diagnosis and treatment strategy of severe pneumonia, and provide new ideas for accurate treatment of severe pneumonia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Pneumonia and Immunosuppressed Hosts, run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of patient diagnosed with severe pneumonia within 28 days (time frame: 28 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 May 2020.
