Trial summary

This study aims to evaluate the role of angiotensin II, AT1, and AT2 on catecholomine responsive and catecholomine resistant septic shock, and the effect of hydrocortisone traetment on catecholomine resistant septic shock and angiotensin II, AT1, and AT2.Angiotensin II can be used as a biomarker of vasoplegia observed… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Hydrocortison Treatment on Angiotensin II and Angiotensin Receptors in Patients Suffering From Septic Shock: A Prospective Observational Study

This study aims to evaluate the role of angiotensin II, AT1, and AT2 on catecholomine responsive and catecholomine resistant septic shock, and the effect of hydrocortisone traetment on catecholomine resistant septic shock and angiotensin II, AT1, and AT2.Angiotensin II can be used as a biomarker of vasoplegia observed in refractory septic shock unresponsive to catecholamine. In these patients; therapeutic effect of hydrocortisone on hypotension was performed by decreasing AT 2 level, AT2 should be investigated as a therapeutic target in the treatment of vasoplegia-induced hypotension and SVRI measured by minimally invasive cardiac output method suggests that it can be used as a useful parameter in the diagnosis and follow-up of vasoplegia.

Read the detailed description

This study will be enrolled 40 patients diagnosed with septic shock according to Sepsis 3 criteria. The patients with septic shock who needed a noradrenaline infusion rate of up to 0.5µg/kg/min to maintain MAP>65 mmHg will be classified as control group (n=20) and the ones who required a noradrenaline infusion rate above 0.5µg/kg will be classified as hydrocortisone group (n=20). Blood samples will be taken for analysis of plasma angiotensin II, AT1, AT2 levels at the time of diagnosis, one hour after and on the 3rd day of the bundle and the hydrocortisone treatment. Hemodynamic parameters simultaneously obtain by continuous minimal invasive cardiac output measurement method will record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shock, Septic, run by Inonu University at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 9 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Serum angiotensin II levels (time frame: 0-3 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04647552, which also lists 2 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 9 Feb 2021.
