Trial summary

The mediastinum can be the site of benign or malignant tumors, including 10 to 20% of hematological malignancies. Mediastinal mass syndrome (MMS) includes symptoms due to irritation, invasion or compression of the organs of the mediastinum. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Impact of Thoracic Scanographic Characteristics of Hematologic Malignancy Patients with Mediastinal Mass Syndrome Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit

The mediastinum can be the site of benign or malignant tumors, including 10 to 20% of hematological malignancies.

Mediastinal mass syndrome (MMS) includes symptoms due to irritation, invasion or compression of the organs of the mediastinum. This syndrome includes respiratory manifestations that may be secondary to compression of the tracheobronchial tree, venous vascular manifestations with the superior vena cava syndrome or arterial manifestations, cardiac manifestations, digestive or nervous manifestations.

The management of a mediastinal syndrome is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency requiring the collaboration of several disciplines in order to achieve the most effective but least deleterious way possible to diagnostic imaging, etiological biopsy, and the possible implementation of life-saving symptomatic measures before the initiation of etiological treatment.

Diagnostic thoracic imaging relies primarily on thoracic computed tomography (CT) to determine the size and nature of the mediastinal mass, the presence and extent of tracheobronchial or great vessel compression, the presence of pleural and/or pericardial effusion, pulmonary embolism, parenchymal lesions, and possibly subdiaphragmatic lesions.

However, the potential severity of MMS is often under-diagnosed in adult patients, particularly in the context of hematologic malignancy. Indeed, we have very little literature on the initial management of these patients at risk.

The present study propose to conduct the first multicenter study to analyze the characteristics (clinical, scanographic, echocardiographic, hematological and resuscitation) of the initial management of patients with symptomatic MMS at diagnosis or at relapse of a patient with MH admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mediastinal Diseases, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 25 Sep 2024. 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 France. 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 Muriel Picard, MD (0561756105 ext. +33, picard.m@chu-toulouse.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To identify prognostic thoracic scan factors of severe mediastinal mass syndrome (time frame: 1 week). 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 25 Sep 2024.
