About this study

Introduction:

The pharmacodynamic properties of enoximone could be beneficial for patients with an Acute Exacerbation COPD (AE-COPD). This research will focus on patients suffering of a severe AE-COPD and the bronchodilatory and inotropic effects of lower doses of enoximone. The main objective of the pilot study is to investigate if there is a bronchodilatory effect of enoximone in patients with AE-COPD. Secondary objective is to investigate a dose responsiveness in a range between 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg enoximone.

Methods:

The study design is a prospective interventional non-randomized clinical series study involving patients admitted and intubated at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with an AE-COPD. Patients will receive three times a dose of 0.5 mg/kg enoximone with a one-hour-interval. The primary objective is a reduction in auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) after enoximone compared to baseline. A dose-titration will test for dose dependency. Secondary objectives are a reduction in ventilator pressures, a reduction in pulmonary artery pressures and an increase in cardiac output.

Read the detailed description

Ventilator will be set during the study period at Volume Controle, 6 ml/kg, 5 PEEP and a respiratory rate of 15 bpm with an I:E-ratio of 1:2.

Salbutamol/ipratropium bromide and magnesium sulphate will be administered at baseline (t=0h) and measurements will be made for an hour.

At T=1h the first dose of 0.5 mg/kg enoximone will be administered and will be repeated at T=2h and T=3h. Ventilator derived variables will be obtained every fifteen minutes and echocardiography, arterial and central venous bloodgas analyses every hour until t=6h.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enoximone in people with COPD Exacerbation and Enoximone, run by Rijnstate Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2022. 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 Netherlands. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: A limited number of inclusions due to the Covid-pandemic). 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?

PEEP (time frame: within 6 hoursmeasured every 15 minutes). 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 13 Jan 2022.
