About this study

The research study is to explore novel early predictors and validation of laboratory parameters in the management of sepsis in critically ill patients especially with brain injuries and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study. 150 subjects with the admission diagnosis of neurological haemorrhage (e.g. subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage etc), admitted to SICU of National University Hospital, Singapore, who are expected to stay for more than 48 hours, will be recruited and enrolled. No adverse events are expected as a result of this study as patients do not deviate from the current standard of care. Frequency of blood sampling will be stipulated at day 1/2/3/4/5 to draw clinical relevance. An additional 0.5 tablespoonful (7.7ml) of blood will be taken daily from each subject as well as residual blood from routine laboratory test blood samples. In total, an additional volume of 2.5 tablespoonful (38.5ml) of blood will be collected from each subject over a period of 5 days. Residual blood refers to any leftover blood samples collected for routine laboratory tests which will be shared and used to carry out additional blood tests. All ICU patients will have arterial lines inserted as part of routine care, so there will not be pain from the blood sampling. In the current study, measurements will be made on the routine laboratory haematology, coagulation and immunoassay analyzers. Research blood parameters that are not usually reported as indicated in the background section will be used for the correlation and association analysis to sepsis. In addition, the study team will also be collecting clinical and demographic data of recruited subjects from medical records for purposes of this study.

What participants receive

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

  • APTT CWA (Activated partial thromboplastin time clot waveform analysis), Procalcitonin and Serological/Inflammatory markers (KL-6, SPA, MIG, Presepsin)Diagnostic test

    Primary Aim: To validate the use of APTT CWA (Activated partial thromboplastin time clot waveform analysis) and ICIS (Intensive Care Infection Score), as early sepsis markers for neurosurgical ICU patients suffering subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury and other intracranial haemorrhages.

    Secondary Aim: To examine the evolution of CWA, immuno-parameters (KL-6, SP-A, MIG, presepsin) and various WBC (white blood cell count) activation markers over the time in relation to diagnosis of sepsis, development of positive blood cultures and mortality or recovery. Blood parameter measurements using a 3-part and 5-part differential analyser will be performed. KL-6, SP-A, MIG, presepsin are serum biomarkers - MIG (Monokine induced by gamma interferon), SP-A (Surfactant protein A), KL-6 (Krebs von den Lungen 6).

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2023. 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 Singapore. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Will NH Loh, MBBS (6772 4208, Will.Loh@nus.edu.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To validate the use of APTT CWA and ICIS, as early sepsis markers for neurosurgical ICU patients suffering subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury and other intracranial haemorrhages. (time frame: SICU stay from day 1 to day 5 through to 2 years of blood test completion). 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 NCT04624945, which also lists 11 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.
