About this study

Official title: Effect of Midazolam on Inflammatory Response and Organ Function in Mechanically Ventilated Sepsis Patients With Different Immune Status.

ICU patients always experience all kinds of pain, discomfort and sleep disturbance,especially the sepsis patients. Appropriate sedation and analgesia is must,the newest sepsis guideline strongly recommend that mechanically ventilated sepsis patients need sedation therapy.

Recent studies show than immune dysfunction dose have an important effect on the occurrence and development of sepsis. When the body suffer from the pathogenic microorganism attacking and sepsis, it activate the systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) and compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS). When it is out of balance between SIRS and CARS, the inflammatory response, immune paralysis or immune dysfunction occurs and the mixed anti-inflammatory response syndrome (MARS) exists, and then the multiple organ dysfunction. So, immune dysfunction is thought to be the key factors on the development of the sepsis. Some studies show that the sedation drug such as midazolam, propofol, dexmedetomidine could suppress the inflammatory response effectively and then modulate the immune function.

Several recent studies show that midazolam has the immunoregulation effect and trend of suppress the inflammatory response, but the result is controversy, the possibly reason is the different immune status. Now there is the guideline about the different immune status: the normal immune function means that the value of mHLA-DR is more than 15000 monoclonal antibody; moderate-sever immune suppression means that the value of mHLA-DR is in the range of 5000 and 15000 monoclonal antibody; the immune paralysis means that the value of mHLA-DR is less than 5000 monoclonal antibody.

The purpose of the study is to explore the effect of midazolam to inflammatory response and organ function at mechanically ventilated sepsis patients who have different immune status.

What participants receive

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

  • blood sample collectionOther

    Patients were included 1 hrs later(before the study drug is administrated), 3 d and 7 d after sedation with midazolam, blood sample is collected. Flow cytometry is performed to test the mHLA-DR and according the value of mHLA-DR, assign the participant to the 4 groups as described in the arm.

  • MidazolamDrug

    Also called Liyuexi

    The loading dose of midazolam is 0.03-0.3 mg/kg, intravenous injected slowly for 10 minutes, then 0.04-0.2 mg/kg/h for maintenance of sedation.

  • MorphineDrug

    Morphine is the only analgesic drug that permitted to use. 2 mg morphine is given a bolus when the participant feel pain. If the pain is not alleviated, 0.4-1 mg/h morphine is maintained.

  • Sedation interruptionProcedure or surgery

    Sedation interruption is performed at 8 am every morning.

    The test method is Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA).

    Measured: Change from baseline of TNF-α at 3 and 7 days.

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 9 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

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?

T cell subset T Helper 1 (time frame: Change from baseline of T Helper 1 at 3 and 7 days.). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 May 2014.
