Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether administration of a bolus dose of MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate) plus standard therapy is superior to standard therapy alone for the management of Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease (AECOPD) in the emergency department.

About this study

Official title: MASTER-ED : Magnesium Sulfate to Prevent Hospitalisation of Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Seen in the Emergency Department

The purpose of this study is to assess whether administration of a bolus dose of MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate) plus standard therapy is superior to standard therapy alone for the management of Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease (AECOPD) in the emergency department. The investigators hypothesize that MgSO4 causes faster recovery of the bronchospasm, and a reduction of the dead space, translating to the following clinical outcomes : less hospitalisation, lower length of stay (LOS), better composite outcome of hospitalisation + LOS + readmission for AECOPD.

Read the detailed description

Patients presenting to the participant Emergency Departments (ED) with a diagnosis of AECOPD and who receive at least one dose of albuterol, will be randomized to receive either placebo or one dose of MgSO4 2g IV. Security and efficacy outcomes will be measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Admissions for AECOPD

    Number of patients admitted to hospital

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Recurrence of AECOPD

    A composite outcome of (death, re-admission for AECOPD, new visit for AECOPD in the ED) in patients who are discharged either directly from the ED or after admission on the wards.

    Measured: 10, 30, 90 days after hospital discharge

  2. Mortality of any cause

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of the hospital stay, an expected 2 weeks, and for 30 days after discharge, up to 1 year after randomization

  3. Length of stay

    Measured in hours, from baseline to discharge, either from ED, or after hospital admission

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of the hospital stay, an expected 2 weeks, and up to 1 year after randomization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Magnesium Sulfate in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Hôpital de Verdun.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2018. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Percentage of Admissions for AECOPD (time frame: baseline). 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 22 Feb 2018.
