About this study

Official title: Oxidant-antioxidant Activity, Free Radicle Activity, Immune Response and Biomarkers in ECMO Patients

We would like to investigate novel diagnostic methods or biomarkers to early predict the success of ECMO therapy for cardiogenic shock patients during the early stage after ECMO treatment.

Read the detailed description

In the investigators previous study (Ann Thorac Surg 2002, 73: 538-545), the investigators knew that for those adult patients receiving ECMO support for post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock, 1/3 of them would survive to discharge, 1/3 could not be weaned from ECMO and died on the ECMO support, and 1/3 could be weaned from ECMO support, but finally died of multiple organ failure. However, by clinical observation in the first few days of ECMO support, it would be very difficult to predict the outcome of a specified individual patient. Therefore, the investigators usually wait for four to six days to know whether the ECMO treatment is successful or not. If the investigators could predict the result one or two days earlier, this would give physicians enough time to make medical decision. Therefore, the early parameters that could be used to predict the outcome of ECMO treatment would be very valuable. The investigators also found that despite obscure clinical presentation, there was a significant difference in serum cytokines' concentration on the 3rd day of ECMO support between "ECMO successful" and "ECMO failure" patients.

In this study, the investigators will further investigate leukocyte free radical activity, oxidation damage marker (8-OHdG concentration) in serum, whole blood glutathione peroxidase activity for antioxidation, serum IL-6, IL-12, IL-8, IL-10, transforming growth factor-β and other biochemical concentrations and immune cellular changes during the period of ECMO treatment. Patient's blood samples before and 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours after ECMO support treatment, at ECMO removal and ICU discharge will be collected and used for the study. The measured factors and the final outcome will be compared. The investigators hope to find early factors change during ECMO treatment among biochemical, immunological and clinical parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality or multi-organ failure

    Patients who survived for more than 7 days after ECMO treatment were defined as survival, and non-survival patients were defined as expired or multiple organ failure incompatible with life within 7 days after ECMO installation.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiogenic Shock and Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 21 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 2 sites in Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Wen-Je Ko, MD, PhD (0972651415, kowj@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality or multi-organ failure (time frame: 7 days). 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 21 Oct 2013.
