About this study

Official title: Phase III Study of Usefulness of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Optimize Tissues Perfusion and Oxygenation in Severe Sepsis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of an optimization of muscle perfusion and oxygenation, as assessed by the NIRS technique, in critically ill patients with sepsis.

Read the detailed description

The systemic inflammatory response to sepsis may cause impaired tissue oxygenation that can persist despite the restoration of a normal hemodynamic profile and systemic oxygen transport.

Therefore, the assessment of tissue oxygenation and perfusion is recommended in patients with severe sepsis.

The InSpectra tissue spectrometer relies on continuous wave near infrared (NIR) technology to estimate non invasively local tissue hemoglobin oxygen saturation in tissue (% StO2). This technology had been tested in a variety of systems: standard theoretical models of light transport, isolated blood, isolated blood-perfused animal organs and healthy human volunteers with induced limb ischemia. In critical-care medicine, NIRS has also been used to evaluate muscle oxygenation in trauma resuscitation and in lower extremity and abdominal compartment syndrome. However, NIRS has been rarely utilised to measure tissue blood flow and oxygen uptake in critically ill patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Near Infrared SpectroscopyDevice

    resuscitation will be based on Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines AND on increasing StO2 to 80% or more in at least 2 out of the 3 following sites: thenar, masseter and deltoid

  • conventionalDevice

    resuscitation will be based according to Surviving Sepsis Campaign

What is being measured

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

  1. A combined endpoint of mortality and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score increase at day 7 is the primary efficacy endpoint

    Measured: Day 7

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: from randomization to Day 28

  2. length of the hospital stay

    Measured: from randomization to Day 90

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted14 Sep 2005 (estimated)
  2. Study startJul 2005
  3. Primary completionMay 2009
  4. Study completionDec 2009

Why it stopped: recruitment was stopped as consequence of cessation of funding (economic crisis)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Near Infrared Spectroscopy and conventional in people with Critical Illness and Severe Sepsis, run by University of Versailles at 7 sites in 4 countries.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France, Germany, Greece, Spain. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: recruitment was stopped as consequence of cessation of funding (economic crisis)). 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?

A combined endpoint of mortality and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score increase at day 7 is the primary efficacy endpoint (time frame: Day 7). 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 NCT00167596, 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 20 Jul 2016.
