About this study

Official title: Formation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Normal vs Increased Oxygenation.

This project an observational study performed on patients with severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) treated at Neurosurgical ICU (NICU) at Karolinska University Hospital. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of various oxygenation levels on production rate of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The patients will be included in the study after the placement of intracranial monitoring device consisting of intracranial pressure gage (Codman), microdialysis (MD), and Licox oxygen electrode for measurement of partial pressure of oxygen in brain tissue (pBtO2). Intracranial monitoring is inserted on clinical indications and is used for early detection of deleterious processes in brain tissue such as hypoxia or hypoperfusion and for purpose of guiding of given therapies such as cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), oxygenation, dosage of vasoactive drugs etc. Despite the technical possibilities to monitor all these physiological parameters, there are no clear guidelines how to interpret the MD and pBtO2 data and implement it in clinical decision making. One of the controversies deals with optimization of oxygen levels: some authors point out the importance of adequate brain tissue oxygenation, whereas other researchers are worried about the possible negative effects of excessive oxygen levels such as increased production of ROS or facilitating pulmonary atelectasis, contributing to adverse outcome.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of various oxygenation levels on ROS production in TBI patients.

This pilot study is designed to measure short-lived ROS in blood and microdialysis fluid samples of TBI patients during alternating periods of normal vs temporarily increased oxygenation levels under normobaric conditions (normal atmospheric pressure).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ROS concentrations in blood

    ROS concentrations in patient´s blood will be measured repeatedly at normal systemic oxygenation and at increased oxygenation if necessary.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Markers of oxidative stress

    Indirect markers of oxydative stress, as MDA (Malondialdehyde) and Isoprostane F2, in relation to level of systemic oxygenation.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Oxygenation vs ROS Formation in TBI Patients, run by Region Stockholm at 1 site in Sweden.

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 6 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 28 Apr 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 Sweden. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ROS concentrations in blood (time frame: 7 days). 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 28 Apr 2022.
