About this study

Official title: HypOthermia for Patients Requiring Evacuation of Subdural Hematoma: a Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial

This randomized, prospective trial will study the effect of very early cooling in patients undergoing surgical evacuation of acute subdural hematomas (35°C prior to opening the dura followed by maintenance at 33°C for a minimum of 48h). Intravascular cooling catheters (Thermogard XP Device, Zoll) will be utilized to induce hypothermia or to maintain normothermia.

The primary objective is to determine if rapid induction of hypothermia prior to emergent craniotomy for traumatic subdural hematoma (SDH) will improve outcome as measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) at 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Favorable Glasgow Outcome Score-Extended (GOS-E) at 6 Months Post Injury

    Participants were monitored for 6 months after injury, and GOS-E was scored as favorable (moderate disability to good recovery) or unfavorable (severe disability, vegetative state, or death) at 6 months post-injury.

    Measured: 6 months post injury

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Safety as Assessed by Number of Adverse Events Reported Per Participant

    Adverse events were graded according to the USDHHS Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V4.0. Serious adverse events and pre-defined adverse events of interest that historically were known to be of concern with hypothermia treatment were selected to be monitored and reported regardless of grade. These included cardiac arrhythmias, thromboembolic events, pneumonia, bleeding or hemorrhage, intraoperative hemorrhage, infection (culture positive, e.g., blood stream infection, urinary tract infection, ventriculitis), device-related infection, and death. The number of adverse events per participant were compared between groups.

    Measured: 6 months post injury

  2. Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Length of Stay

    Measured: from ICU admission to ICU discharge (median of about 11 to 13 days)

  3. Hospital Length of Stay

    Measured: from hospital admission to hospital discharge (median of about 18 to 21 days)

  4. Incidence of Cortical Spreading Depolarization

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Temperature management Zoll Intravascular Temperature Management device in people with Subdural Hematoma, Traumatic, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston at 14 sites in 2 countries.

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 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Japan, United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Favorable Glasgow Outcome Score-Extended (GOS-E) at 6 Months Post Injury (time frame: 6 months post injury). 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 NCT02064959, 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 Oct 2020.
