About this study

Official title: Concomitant Tracheostomy and Lung Resection in Patient With Low Postoperative Pulmonary Function

This protocol has been designed to determine if tracheostomy performed immediately after lung operation (i.e. concomitant tracheotomy) could improve the postoperative outcome of high risk patients. We hypothesized that concomitant tracheotomy could reduce the length of mechanical ventilation and the number of respiratory complications.

Read the detailed description

Background: Respiratory failure after lung resection is a major complication. Several studies suggest that low predictive postoperative pulmonary function is a predictive factor of mechanical ventilation (MV). In critically ill patients requiring MV, early tracheostomy may shorten the duration of MV and length of stay in intensive care.

Study objective: To determine whether concomitant tracheostomy (CT) would decrease the length of MV and improves outcome in patient with predictive postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1ppo) < 50%. We call CT a tracheostomy performed immediately after the lung resection under the same general anesthesia.

Method: An open monocentric randomized controlled trial has been design. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are mentioned below. FEV1ppo will be calculated by the mean of the scintigraphic method for pneumonectomy and by the mean of the number of resected segments for lobectomy and segmentectomy. Randomization will be made the day before the operation. The procedure will be an open surgical tracheostomy. A daily data base will be completed from randomization until discharge. The primary and secondary criteria are mentioned below.

What is being measured

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

  1. number of mechanical ventilation days after operation until discharge

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. 60 days mortality rate

    Measured: 2 months

  2. ICU length of stay

    Measured: 2 months

  3. hospital length of stay

    Measured: 2 months

  4. cumulative incidence of postoperative respiratory complications defined as pneumonia, re-ventilation, atelectasis needing fiberbronchoscopy, non cardiogenic pulmonary edema, air leakage >7 days, broncho-pleural fistula, pulmonary embolism, empyema

    Measured: 2 months

  5. cumulative incidence of postoperative cardiac complications defined as arrythmia needed treatment, cardiac failure needing inotrop drug, acute coronary stroke

    Measured: 2 months

  6. laryngeal and tracheal complications

    Measured: 2 months

  7. general complications

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tracheostomy in people with Lung Cancer, 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 5 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 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 phase mean?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrick Lacarin (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of mechanical ventilation days after operation until discharge (time frame: 2 months). 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 NCT01053624, 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 19 Jan 2011.
