About this study

The aim of the study is to see if endogenous exhaled Nitric Oxyde (eNO) concentrations measured are significantly higher in ARDS patients admitted in ICU ; compared to control subjects in good health with no lung disease or global inflammation, operated under general anesthesia (i.e. intubated and ventilated) for thyroid or parathyroid.

Read the detailed description

The measurement of endogenous exhaled NO is monitored using a laser spectrometer machine connected to the expiratory circuit of the respirator. The measure is non-invasive and made by sampling expiratory gaz like for capnography.

In control subjects, the measurement period corresponds to the first ten minutes after induction of anesthesia (with intubation) before surgical incision.

In ARDS patients in intensive care, the measurement of eNO is made in the first twenty-four hours after intubation and ventilation of the patient with mechanical respirator.

The primary endpoint is a significantly higher eNO concentration in patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

Secondary endpoints will assess correlations between eNO concentrations and usual ARDS severity criteria: PaO2/FiO2; ventilator-free days; length of stay in intensive care and all-cause hospital mortality at 30 days.

What participants receive

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

  • Non invasive measure of endogenous exhaled Nitric Oxyde in exhaled gaz, by a laser spectrometerOther

    A sample of exhaled gases is taken from the expiratory part of the respirator circuit (same way as a capnometry measurement). A laser spectrometer continuously and non-invasively monitors online the concentrations of endogenous NO exhaled by patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endogenous exhaled Nitric Oxyde (eNO)

    The primary endpoint is a significantly higher eNO concentration in ARDS patients.

    Measured: Measurement of eNO over a period of 10 minutes just after induction of anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary endpoints will assess correlations between eNO concentrations and usual ARDS severity criteria

    ARDS severity criteria are: Partial arterial pressure of oxygen divided by inspired fraction of oxygen (PaO2/FiO2); ventilator-free days; length of stay in intensive care and all-cause hospital mortality at 30 days.

    Measured: Measurement of eNO over a period of 10 minutes within the first 24 hours after intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ARDS, Human and Nitric Oxyde, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 30 Mar 2025. 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?

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?

Endogenous exhaled Nitric Oxyde (eNO) (time frame: Measurement of eNO over a period of 10 minutes just after induction of anesthesia). 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 NCT06250348, 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 30 Mar 2025.
