Trial summary

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the device which increases the supply of oxygen to the body tissues in vitro and to assist in heart and lung function. Venoarterial (VA) ECMO is used in patients with cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, ventricular arrhythmia and is able to secure a time to self-recovery by… Read more about this study

About this study

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the device which increases the supply of oxygen to the body tissues in vitro and to assist in heart and lung function. Venoarterial (VA) ECMO is used in patients with cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, ventricular arrhythmia and is able to secure a time to self-recovery by reducing the excessive stimulation applied to the heart. However, in ECMO patients, pharmacokinetics of drugs are changing such as increased volume of distribution (Vd) or decreased clearance (CL). For this reason, it is hard to provide the best treatment in ECMO patients. The study is to evaluate whether the PK of drugs is influenced by VA ECMO and to recommend the optimal dosing strategies for proposed drugs in adult patients receiving VA ECMO.

What participants receive

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

  • Residual bloodOther

    Residual blood samples(1~2 cc) at each sampling time are collected from all subjects while using ECMO for drug concentration assays(LC-MS/MS etc.).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Dysfunction, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Nov 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

Serum or plasma concentration (time frame: Between day0 to day3 after removing ECMO). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02581280, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 Nov 2019.
