Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: intensive care patients in general

Who may be able to join

  • patients after admission to the intensive care unit
  • 18 years or older
  • signed informed consent

Who cannot join

  • No exclusion criteria are formulated with regard to the objective of the register to record intensive care patients in general. Patients with multiple comorbidities, organ dysfunctions, and non-compliance for a curatively-intended therapy should also be recorded in the register. A palliative treatment or decision for best supportive care is not an exclusion criterion for registering.

About this study

Official title: Development of a Biological Database in the Field of Operative Intensive Care for the Recording of Clinically Relevant Parameters of Critically Ill Intensive Patients

The storage and use of biomaterial samples is an important requirement for accompanying research and the acquisition of new knowledge to improve prognosis and therapy. Biobanking is explicitly recommended in official guidelines. In order to preserve the biomaterial, the patient must consent to the removal, transfer and storage of the biomaterial separately from the consent to the register. The biomaterial is taken at times at which a blood or urine sampling takes place anyway in the clinical routine. Therefore no additional interventions are necessary.

The storage and use of biomaterial samples is an important requirement for accompanying research and the acquisition of new knowledge to improve prognosis and therapy. Biobanking is explicitly recommended in official guidelines. In order to preserve the biomaterial, the patient must consent to the removal, transfer and storage of the biomaterial separately from the consent to the register. The biomaterial is taken at times at which a blood or urine sampling takes place anyway in the clinical routine. Therefore no additional interventions are necessary.

Sample volumes are defined as follows:

  • Peripheral blood: up to a total of 150 ml distributed to a maximum of 10 morning blood samples (approximately 15 ml blood per blood sample) during the inpatient stay in the intensive care unit (fixed times are admission and discharge of the intensive care unit)
  • Urine: a total of up to 200 ml of catheter urine distributed to a maximum of 10 morning withdrawals during inpatient stays in the intensive care unit (defined times are admission and discharge from the intensive care unit)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intensive Care in General, run by RWTH Aachen University at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 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 Germany. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Christina Kalvelage, M. Sc. (0241 80 36485, ckalvelage@ukaachen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Interleukin 6 value [nmol/l] (time frame: 10 days). The study lists 5 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 NCT03014427, which also lists 2 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 18 Sep 2019.
