About this study

Official title: Hupophosphatemia Levels Deleteriously Affect Outcome of Patients With Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock Admitted to ICU

The current study aimed to determine the incidence of hypophosphatemia (HP) among severe sepsis/septic shock patients admitted to ICU and its impact on morbidity and mortality rates of these patients, and to evaluate the impact of phosphorous supplemental therapy (PST) on such outcomes.Thus, this study will hypothesize that diagnosis and management of HP may be advantageous for reduction of morbidity and mortality rates of septic patients admitted to ICU.

Read the detailed description

The study will include all patients admitted to ICU with or developing severe sepsis or septic shock within 24-hr after admission to ICU. Patients will be categorized according to at-admission inorganic phosphate (Pi) level into normophosphatemia group and hypophosphatemia group (HP) (mild, moderate and severe HP). All patients will be evaluated using Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (APACHE II) and blood samples will be collected for ELISA estimation of serum Pi, human C-reactive protein (CRP), L-lactate, CBC picture , serum electrolytes and kidney and liver function tests. Serum Pi level will be re-estimated immediately and 24-hr after full dose administration. Outcomes will include the 28-day ICU morbidity and mortality rates and their relation to HP severity and PST administration.

Patients who will fulfill the inclusion criteria will be selectively divided into two groups according to estimated level of serum Pi: Control group will include patients with serum Pi >2.5 mg/dl and Study group will include patients having serum Pi<2.5 mg/dl and will be further sub-grouped according to severity of HP into mild HP (2-2.5 mg/dl), moderate (1-1.9 mg/dl) or severe (<1 mg/dl).

Central venous catheter will be inserted for all patients enrolled in the study via the jugular or subclavian vein. Then, baseline hemodynamic parameters and central venous pressure (CVP) will be estimated and will be continuously monitored. Arterial blood samples will be obtained anaerobically and collected in heparinized tubes for estimation of arterial blood gas and pH.

Sepsis management: Patients were managed according to guidelines of Surviving

Sepsis Campaign; briefly:

  1. Fluid therapy
  2. Vasoactive drug therapy
  3. Intropics
  4. Antibiotic therapy

HP management regimen follows:

  1. Calculation of supplementation dose according to the equation: phosphate dose (in mmol) = 0.5 x body weight x (1.25 - [serum Pi]).
  2. Preparation that will be used: Glycophos®, Fresenius Kabi Egypt (organic phosphate solution 1mmol/ml). Vial 20 ml (1ml contains 1mmol of phosphate and 2mmol of sodium).
  3. Dilution: will be diluted prior to parenteral administration. 20 ml of sodium-glycerophosphate diluted in 30 cc of dextrose 5% administered by syringe pump (50 mL).
  4. The total calculated dose will be divided into three doses every 8 hours.
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Glycophos (Sodium Glycerophosphate), Antibiotics and Inotropes in people with Hypophosphatemia, run by Ain Shams University.

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 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 Aug 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Noha Hussien, Dr. (+201222830981, nohasayedhussien@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality (No.) (time frame: 15 September 2020 - 15 December 2020 (3 months)). 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?
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 Aug 2020.
