Trial summary

The study objective is to improve morbidity and mortality of high-risk critically ill children. Our hypothesis is that a strict ICU glucose control protocol will decrease morbidity and mortality associated with hyperglycemia in a population of high-risk critically ill pediatric patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. 30-day mortality rate from the time of enrollment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Pediatric Overall Performance Category scores at ICU discharge and 6 months post-discharge

  2. rates of nosocomial bloodstream infections

  3. time to resolution of organ failure (mechanical ventilator days and days of vasopressor support)

  4. change in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scores

  5. requirement of dialysis or hemofiltration for patients with acute renal failure

  6. volume of blood product transfusions per kilogram body weight (vol/kg).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Respiratory Failure and Cardiovascular Failure, run by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2017. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

30-day mortality rate from the time of enrollment. 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 23 Jan 2017.
