Trial summary

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. For clinical operationalization, organ dysfunction can be represented by an increase in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 2 points or more, which is associated with an in-hospital mortality greater… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pancreatic Stone Protein as Indicator for Urinary Sepsis in Intensive Care Units

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. For clinical operationalization, organ dysfunction can be represented by an increase in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 2 points or more, which is associated with an in-hospital mortality greater than 10%. pancreatic stone protein has been studied as biomarker of sepsis and results suggests that it has higher diagnostic performance. The main objective of this study is to identify ability of pancreatic stone protein (PSP) as a new biomarker for diagnosis of urosepsis in Intensive Care Units comparison to other biomarkers and its role as a prognostic marker for mortality

What participants receive

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

  • pancreatic stone protein "PSP" measurementDiagnostic test

    Blood samples will be collected for biomarker (PCT, CRP, and PSP) measurements in admission and 24 hours, 72 hours from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from the ICU or for 30 days, whichever occurred.

What is being measured

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

  1. PSP ability to detect urinary sepsis

    time course of PSP serum levels above normal range 20-50ng/ml in absence or presence of infection.

    Measured: measurements from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from or for 30 days whichever occurred the ICU

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. PSP ability to predict prognosis of sepsis in ICU.

    value of serial serum PSP levels from admission in ICU to predict infection severity and complications.

    Measured: measurements from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from or for 30 days whichever occurred the ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary; Sepsis, run by Ain Shams University.

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 6 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 19 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

PSP ability to detect urinary sepsis (time frame: measurements from admission and patients will be followed until death or discharge from or for 30 days whichever occurred the ICU). 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 19 Oct 2023.
