About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of a New Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Strategy Governs by a Respiratory Behaviour Status Assessment for Patients With Altered Level of Consciousness

The purpose of this study is to determine if a weaning strategy from artificial ventilation governs by respiratory behaviour status assessed by our method is safe enough.

Read the detailed description

Current guidelines for mechanical ventilation weaning do not apply for patients with altered level of consciousness. One major limitation is a failure of clinical assessment of the respiratory behaviour status of these patients that are not able to interact appropriately with the examiner. We propose a non-invasive method for the respiratory behaviour assessment of a patient under artificial ventilation that do not requires his participation. Our hypothesis is that, in case of normal respiratory behaviour status, it is possible to wean under security a patient despite his abnormal level of consciousness.We previously demonstrate that patients successfully wean by the clinical team also disclose a normal respiratory behaviour status while patients with weaning failure had abnormal respiratory behaviour. In the present study, we wonder to evaluate that a weaning strategy governs by respiratory behaviour status assessed by our method is safe. For this purpose, in this study, tracheal tube withdrawal is triggered by a recognition of a normal respiratory behaviour status assessed daily in patients under mechanical ventilation with an altered level of consciousness and a good tolerance to T tube challenge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing mechanical ventilation in people with Artificial Respiration and Consciousness Disorders, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 5 Oct 2011. 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.

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 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?

Rate of successful mechanical ventilation weaning at 72 hours (time frame: 72 hours). 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 5 Oct 2011.
