About this study

Official title: Sepsis Onset Warning System [SOWS] Master Enrollment Study Protocol

This protocol will collect real-world data retrospectively from the electronic health record (EHR) as data obtained from the delivery of routine medical care to develop a machine learning (ML)-based Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system for severe sepsis prediction and detection.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to gather data for the clinical development of the Sepsis Onset Warning System (SOWS) Software as Medical Device (SaMD) product to support a De Novo FDA submission and commercialization in the United States. Product development of SOWS is funded in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.

Data will be obtained from passive prospective collection of patient encounter data throughout the duration of the planned study to support the product development life cycle activities associated with developing the Sepsis Onset Warning System (SOWS) for severe sepsis risk detection. Inputs from patient health records in combination with proprietary hematology parameters developed by Beckman Coulter, such as Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW), will be used. The SOWS tool will look to use clinical measurements which are commonly and reliably available in the EHR as structured data elements, such as heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, and laboratory results and account for changes in these values over time.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Primary Objective: Severe SepsisThe primary endpoint for this study is defined as the presence of sufficient data for SOWS training and algorithm development to proceed with subsequent validation. To provide sufficient data subsets (severe sepsis EHR encounters) for training and validation of the Sepsis Onset Warning System algorithm. There will not be any interventions administered.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severe Sepsis

    Identify patients having Severe Sepsis with the use of electronic health data

    Measured: Within 6 hours from presentation to the emergency department

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mortality

    Hospital mortality at hospital for Severe Sepsis patients identified by algorithm using electronic health data as potential benefits for increased early detection of risk of severe sepsis

    Measured: Within 6hours from presentation to the emergency department

  2. Length of Stay

    Determine length of stay at hospital for Severe Sepsis patients identified by algorithm using electronic health data as potential benefits for increased early detection of risk of severe sepsis

    Measured: Within 6hours from presentation to the emergency department

  3. Re-admission Rates

    Determine potential reduction of hospital readmission rates for Severe Sepsis patients identified by algorithm using electronic health data as potential benefits for increased early detection of risk of severe sepsis

    Measured: Within 6hours from presentation to the emergency department

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Sepsis and Severe Sepsis Without Septic Shock, run by Beckman Coulter, Inc. at 10 sites in United States.

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 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Severe Sepsis (time frame: Within 6 hours from presentation to the emergency department). 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 21 Jun 2024.
