About this study

Official title: Soluble Form of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (sRAGE) Levels in the Pulmonary Edema Fluid and Plasma From ICU Patients With ALI/ARDS and Severe Sepsis : an Observational Prospective Study.

sRAGE, the soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products, is a novel marker of alveolar epithelial type I cell injury, but is also involved in acute systemic inflammation. The purpose of this observational prospective study is to determine whether sRAGE could be used in an ICU setting as a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker during ALI/ARDS, regardless of associated severe sepsis or septic shock.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE was recently identified as a promising new marker of alveolar type I cell injury. RAGE is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that acts as a multiligand receptor and is involved in propagating inflammatory responses. While the precise function of RAGE remains unclear, the elevated levels of RAGE, and its soluble isoform sRAGE, correlate with severity of ALI/ARDS in human and animal studies, and RAGE levels could reflect impaired alveolar fluid clearance. Thus, it is possible that elevated levels of RAGE in ALI/ARDS derive in part from RAGE's role in systemic inflammatory cascades rather than purely from its release from alveolar type I cells.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

This observational prospective clinical study will describe and compare sRAGE levels in the alveolar edema fluid and in the plasma from ICU patients enrolled within the first 24 hours after onset of ALI/ARDS and/or severe sepsis/septic shock, and from patients under mechanical ventilation (control group). Edema fluid and plasma samples will be collected simultaneously on day 1, day 3, day 6, and day 28 (or at ICU discharge), in order to describe kinetics of evolution of sRAGE levels. Undiluted pulmonary edema fluid samples will be collected in intubated patients only, and blood samples will be gathered from an indwelling arterial catheter. The concentrations of sRAGE will be measured in duplicate by ELISA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2013. 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?

sRAGE levels in the plasma from ICU patients within the first 24 hours after onset of ALI/ARDS or severe sepsis/septic shock (time frame: within the first 24 hours). 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 NCT00811629, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 1 Oct 2013.
