About this study

Official title: Comparing a Diuretic Vascular Filling in the Initial Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism With Right Ventricular Dysfunction Normotensive

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious disease with frequent intra hospital mortality remains high. If anticoagulation is perfectly codified, the remainder of the initial management has been less studied.

In particular, the "conditioning" Initial often involves systematic plasma volume of 250 to 500 cc, by analogy to other situations. But this treatment option is not based on factual data. In the right ventricular dysfunction that often accompany severe EP, volume expansion may instead be harmful, according to the law of Frank Starling. A retrospective study has recently shown a benefit of diuretic therapy in patients hospitalized for severe normotensive EP.

The proposed study is interventional, prospective, multicenter, randomized, require to include 60 patients.

The main objective of the study is the comparison of the troponin normalization period Ic (biomarker of right ventricular dysfunction) in patients hospitalized in the initial phase of a serious normotensive EP, between the 2 groups diuretic and filling Vascular.

The primary endpoint is the time in hours standardization of troponin Ic.

The secondary endpoints will be:

  • the period of normalization of Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)
  • changes in echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular dysfunction
  • a composite endpoint: cardiovascular death / cardiogenic shock / use of amines / use of thrombolysis.

Main objective:

Compared with the time of normalization of cTnI (biomarker of right ventricular dysfunction) in hospitalized patients in the initial phase of a serious EP normotensive between the 2 groups diuretic and vascular filling

What participants receive

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

  • FurosemideDrug

    Also called diuretic vascular filling

    furosemide 40 mg bolus with second bolus to 4 hours so inadequate diuretic response defined as urine output <500cc

  • NaCl 9% isotonicDrug

    Also called fluid replacement

    normal saline 500 cc / 4 hours and 1 L / 24 hours

Study groups in NCT02531581
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FurosémideExperimentalFurosemide: a dose of 40 mg IV bolus initially and live according to the diuretic response: possibility of 2nd Live IV bolus 40 mg if urine output <500 cc / 24 at the 4th hour. Establishment of an infusion G5 500cc% in "vein custody."
Receives: Drug: Furosemide
NaCl 9% isotonicActive comparatorInfusion of 500 cc of isotonic NaCl 9% in 4 hours and 1000 cc 24-hour peripheral vein. The filling is being used in an "empirical" in severe EP and this group is therefore the control group.
Receives: Drug: NaCl 9% isotonic

What is being measured

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

  1. Time normalization hours Troponin Ic.

    This is a direct assay on peripheral venous sampling, easy to collect, accurate and reproducible, made routines in biochemistry laboratories CHU Nice and Antibes CH. Assay kits are the same at the University Hospital of Nice and Antibes CH (BECKMANTM kit). The threshold of positivity of troponin is 0.07 ng / mL.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Furosemide and NaCl 9% isotonic in people with Pulmonary Embolism, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice 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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2020. 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.

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 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?

Time normalization hours Troponin Ic. (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 12 hours). 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 NCT02531581, 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 25 Sep 2020.
