About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Combined Extracorporeal CO2 Removal and Renal Replacement Therapy in Patients With the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Renal Failure

In patients presenting with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume (6 ml/kg predicted body weight) is the current gold standard for supportive care. However, despite a relative low tidal volume, approximatively one third of patients will experienced tidal hyperinflation, a phenomenon known to induce pulmonary and systemic inflammatory response. A further reduction of the tidal volume to 4 ml/kg (PBW) will prevent pulmonary area from tidal hyperinflation. As a result, hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis are commonly observed with such very low tidal ventilation. Extra corporeal CO2 removal is one of a mean to normalize arterial CO2 tension.

Patients with ARDS also frequently develop acute renal failure which may required Renal Replacement Therapy. Some data suggests that starting early the RRT may favor outcome.

The investigators hypothesized that a strategy combining ECCOR and RRT early in the course of patients presenting ARDS and acute renal failure will allow the tidal volume to be further reduced, providing lung protection, while avoiding the arterial CO2 tension to be increased.

For this purpose, the investigators sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of adding a membranel oxygenator within an hemofiltration circuit, either upstream or downstream of the hemofilter.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Combined ECCOR and RRTDevice

    Insertion of a membrane oxygenator (Hilite 2400 LT, Medos, Germany) within an hemofilter circuit (M150,PrismaFlex, Hospal); either upstream or downstream of the hemofilter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial carbon dioxide reduction

    20 % reduction of arterial carbon dioxide tension after 20 min of combined ECCOR and RRT

    Measured: 20 min

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Gas transfer measurement

    Measurement of PO2 and PCO2 before and after the membrane oxygenation

    Measured: 20 min, H1, H6, H12, H24, H36, H48 and H72.

  2. Arterial blood gases

    Measurement of arterial blood gases

    Measured: 20 min, H1, H6, H12, H24, H36, H48 and H72.

  3. carbon dioxide elimination (VCO2)

    Measurement of carbon dioxide elimination rate at the ventilator and at the membrane oxygenator

    Measured: 20 min, H1, H6, H12, H24, H36, H48 and H72.

  4. Respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic parameters

    Measurement of respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic parameters

    Measured: 20 min, H1, H6, H12, H24, H36, H48 and H72.

  5. Safety monitoring

    Continuous measurement of the differential pressure across the oxygenator membrane and across the hemofilter.

    Assessment of catheter dysfunction, clotting or disruption of the extra-corporeal circuit, clotting of the oxygenator membrane or of the hemofilter.

    Assessment of patient's haemorragic or thrombotic complications.

    Measured: 20 min, H1, H6, H12, H24, H36, H48 and H72.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Combined ECCOR and RRT in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Renal Failure, run by Hôpital Européen Marseille at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 23 Feb 2016. 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 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?

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?

Arterial carbon dioxide reduction (time frame: 20 min). 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 NCT01239966, 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 23 Feb 2016.
