About this study

Microaspiration of contaminated oropharyngeal secretions and gastric contents frequently occurs in intubated critically ill patients, and plays a major role in the pathogenesis of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Quantitative pepsin measurement in tracheal aspirates would be useful in diagnosing microaspiration of gastric contents in intubated critically ill patients. Technetium 99m labelled enteral feeding is the gold standard for the diagnosis of microaspiration. The investigators hypothesized that tracheal pepsin measurement is a good diagnosis marker of microaspiration compared to the gold standard.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of pepsin levels ≥200 ng / ml

    Sensibility and sensitivity of Pepsin for the diagnosis of microaspiration will be determined with regard to 99m technetium (gold standard).

    Measured: from the start to 6 hours after beginning of 99m technetium labelled enteral feeding

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. likelihood ratio of pepsin of microregurgitation

    Sensibility and sensitivity of Pepsin for the diagnosis of microregurgitation will be determined with regard to 99m technetium.

    Measured: from the start to 6 hours after beginning of 99m technetium labelled enteral feeding

  2. likelihood ratio of pepsin of microaspiration

    positive and negative predictive values, positive and negative likelihood ratio of pepsin for the diagnosis of microaspiration compared to the 99m technetium (gold standard)

    Measured: from the start to 6 hours after beginning of 99m technetium labelled enteral feeding

  3. Youden Index

    Youden Index and ROC curve analysis of the Pepsin as a marker for the diagnosis of microaspiration compared to the 99m Technetium (gold standard)

    Measured: from the start to 6 hours after beginning of 99m technetium labelled enteral feeding

  4. ROC curve

    Youden Index and ROC curve analysis of the Pepsin as a marker for the diagnosis of microaspiration compared to the 99m Technetium (gold standard)

    Measured: from the start to 6 hours after beginning of 99m technetium labelled enteral feeding

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 99mTc-Rhenium Sulfide Nanocolloid in people with Critical Illness, run by University Hospital, Lille 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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2015. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

incidence of pepsin levels ≥200 ng / ml (time frame: from the start to 6 hours after beginning of 99m technetium labelled enteral feeding). 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 4 Dec 2015.
