About this study

Official title: REstrictive Versus LIberal Oxygen Strategy and Its Effect on Pulmonary Hypertension After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (RELIEPH-study): a Substudy Protocol for a Randomised Clinical Trial

Background: For patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at the intensive care unit (ICU), oxygen therapy plays an important role in post resuscitation care. During hospitalisation, a lot of these patients occur with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Currently a wide oxygen target is recommended but no evidence regarding optimal treatment targets to minimise the prevalence of PAH exists.

Methods: The RELIEPH trial is a substudy within the BOX (Blood pressure and OXygenation targets in post resuscitation care) trial. It is a single-center, parallel-group randomised controlled clinical trial. 300 patients with OHCA hospitalised at the ICU are allocated to one of the two oxygenation interventions, either a restrictive- (9-10 kPa) or liberal (13-14 kPa) oxygen target both within the recommended range. The primary outcome is the fraction of time with pulmonary hypertension (mPAP >25 mmHg) out of total time with mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay among survivors, lactate clearance, right ventricular failure, 30 days mortality and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level 48 hours from randomisation.

Discussion: This study hypothesises that a liberal target of oxygen reduces the time with PAH during mechanical ventilation compared to a restrictive oxygen target in patients with OHCA at the ICU. When completed, this study hopes to provide new knowledge regarding which oxygen target is beneficial for this group of patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Restrictive PaO2Other

    Also called PaO2 target at 9-10 kPa.

    Patients are randomized to a PaO2 target of 9-10 kPa (open-label).

  • Low normal MAPOther

    Also called Mean arterial blood pressure at 63 mmHg.

    The patients are randomized to receive a Phillips M1006B blood pressure measuring module, offset by +10 %. All patients will target a MAP of 70, but due to the offset module, the patients will target an actual blood pressure of 63 mmHg.

  • Liberal PaO2Other

    Also called PaO2 target at 13-14 kPa.

    Patients are randomized to a PaO2 target of 13-14 kPa (open-label).

  • High normal MAPOther

    Also called Mean arterial blood pressure at 77 mmHg.

    The patients are randomized to receive a Phillips M1006B blood pressure measuring module, offset by -10 %. All patients will target a MAP of 70, but due to the offset module, the patients will target an actual blood pressure of 77mmHg.

Model description
The RELIEPH trial is a substudy of the BOX trial, which is a multicenter, randomised clinical trial with a 2x2 factorial design. Patients are allocated 1:1:1:1 to two interventions, respectively high- or low mean arterial pressures (double blinded) and restrictive- or liberal oxygenation (open label). The RELIEPH trial focuses on the oxygen intervention and only has access to data from one trial site. This makes the RELIEPH trial a single-center, parallel-group randomised controlled trial with patients allocated 1:1 to the oxygen target interventions.

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 4 inclusion and 14 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 1 Jun 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 Denmark. 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 Mie Mørkøre, MS (+45 28555083, mie.moerk@outlook.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pulmonary hypertension (time frame: Up to 30 days.). 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 NCT05029167, which also lists 19 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 1 Jun 2022.
