About this study

Official title: Severe ARDS: Generating Evidence. A U.S. Multicenter Observational Study.

An assessment of early management of moderate-severe ARDS in the United States, including ventilator management and use of rescue therapy.

Read the detailed description

Approximately one-quarter of ARDS patients develop severe hypoxemia, which has been associated with mortality rates approximating 40-50%. The majority have been described to present with severe disease at baseline, suggesting an opportunity for early intervention. In addition, use of evidence-based practices in severe ARDS is highly variable and inconsistent; use of unproven treatment modalities is also frequently seen. Given the variability in treatment practices in severe ARDS, an understanding of the patient-level and institutional-level factors contributing to differences in therapeutic approach is needed in order to improve the quality and consistency of care given to these high-risk patients. SAGE is a multicenter, observational cohort study examining the patient-level and institutional characteristics associated with variability in management of patients with moderate to severe ARDS, factors associated with survival or need for adjuvant therapy, and variability in ventilator management of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Findings from this observational study can subsequently be used to inform future interventional trial development.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Respiratory Failure With Hypoxia, run by Montefiore Medical Center at 28 sites in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in United States. 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?

Hospital Mortality (time frame: 28 Days). The study lists 2 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 NCT03021824, 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 28 Jan 2020.
