Trial summary

For Intensive Care Units (ICU) patients, Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) is a very common complication yielding high morbidity and mortality. Inadequate regional perfusion of certain organs (gut, kidney, liver, etc) often caused by shock is the main cause of MODS. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial to Assess the Tolerance and the Safety of a Duodenal Tube Monitoring the Microcirculation in 10 Critically Ill Patients.

For Intensive Care Units (ICU) patients, Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) is a very common complication yielding high morbidity and mortality. Inadequate regional perfusion of certain organs (gut, kidney, liver, etc) often caused by shock is the main cause of MODS. Current practice uses cardiac output data and blood pressure to manage shock but there are still lacks of information about the regional perfusion. This leads to late MODS diagnostics preventing the implementation of adequate treatment.

Gut perfusion monitoring seems to be a good target to assess the microcirculation but, nowadays, no practical methods or devices are available to measure the gut perfusion, and the current monitoring methods are not specific (CO, BP, OPS-SDF, PCO2, etc).

"MC Monitor" trial is a prospective, multi-center pilot study, enrolling 10 patients.

The probe will be used by intensivists on ICU patients with a risk of shock and requiring mechanical ventilation.

The probe will be placed in the patient with an endoscopic procedure by a gastroenterologist (standard procedure for post-pyloric tubes placement). This procedure will be used to assess the status of the gut mucosa prior to the placement of the APD probe.

What is being measured

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

  1. Absence of duodenal lesions

    Duodenal lesions are defined as visible alterations of the duodenum.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Signal-to-noise ratio of the APD probe

    The signal is a reflect of the pulsatile flow in the duodenum. This assertion is evaluated thanks to a signal-to-noise ratio of the cardiac frequency in the PPG on other non-filtered signal componants.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing APD probe in people with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome, run by Advanced Perfusion Diagnostics at 3 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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

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?

Absence of duodenal lesions (time frame: 24 hours). 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 13 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
