About this study

Official title: Impact of Cytosorb and CKRT on Hemodynamics in Pediatric Patients With Septic Shock: the PedCyto Study

Impact of the hemoadsorption with Cytosorb on hemodynamic in pediatric patients with septic shock: a prospectic pediatric pilot study

Read the detailed description

Prospective interventional pilot study included children with septic shock, weight ≥ 10 Kgs and requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy. Cytosorb (CytoSorbents Inc, New Jersey, USA) cartridge was added to CKRT every 24 hours for a maximum of 96 hours. A control group of matched patients was also identified from an external database. The primary outcome of the study was the proportion of patients who achieved an equal or more than 50% relative reduction in vasopressors or inotropes dose from baseline to the end of treatment. Secondary outcomes included doses of vasopressors and inotropes, hemodynamic and biological changes, changes in severity scores and 28-day mortality.

What participants receive

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

  • CytosorbDevice

    Also called CKRT

    Cytosorb cartridge It is composed of polystyrene divinylbenzene and polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers and targets molecules in the 5-50 kDa range, which includes the molecular mass of several cytokines

What is being measured

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

  1. Vasopressors and inotropes reduction

    Measured: 96 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in hemodynamic parameters

    changes in CI, SVRI, systolic pressure - Psys, diastolic pressure - Pdia, and mean pressure

    Measured: 96 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cytosorb in people with Septic Shock, run by Ospedale Pediatrico Bambin Gesù at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 21 Dec 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 Italy. 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?

Vasopressors and inotropes reduction (time frame: 96 hours). 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 NCT05658588, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2022.
