Study population: Consented patients with cardiorespiratory failure or ith severe respiratory failure who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and in whom the investigator intends to treat the patient with cardiopulmonary support using the Hemovent MOBYBOX System.
Who may be able to join
- Diagnosed with cardiac, respiratory or cardiorespiratory failure or imminent failure and 1 of the 5 following sets of findings:
- A Murray score ≥ 3.0 and/or severe hypoxemia with A PaO2/FIO2 > 100 mm on 0.9 FIO2;
- Uncompensated hypercapnia with pH <7.2 despite a Pplateau > 30 cm H20;
- Significant air leak/bronchopleural fistula;
- Need for intubation in a patient on lung transplant list;
- Immediate/risk of cardiac or respiratory collapse (pulmonary embolus, blocked airway, blocked blood flow, unresponsive to optimal care);
- Written consent of the patient or the legal guardian or external consulting physician as designated and approved by the Ethics Committee.
Who cannot join
- High pressure ventilation (FIO2 > 0.9 and Pplateau > 30 cm H2O) or high FIO2 requirements for more than 7 days;
- Severe intracranial bleeding, which precludes the use of anticoagulation therapy or any other inability to be anticoagulated
- Excessive weight (> 180 Kg)
- Severe irreversible brain injury (e.g., hypoxic brain injury)
- Inability to accept blood products;
- Any condition or organ dysfunction that would limit the likelihood of overall benefit from ECMO, such as severe, irreversible brain injury, hepatic and/or renal failure, or untreatable metastatic cancer;
Show all 17Show fewer
- Immunosuppression with an absolute neutrophil count < 400/mm3;
- Patient has been treated with ECMO ≤ 48 hours.
- For veno-veno ECMO in the setting of respiratory failure the following exclusion criteria apply:
- Severe pulmonary hypertension (mPAP > 50 mm Hg)
- Severe right or left sided heart failure (EF < 25%)
- For veno-arterial ECMO in the setting of cardiac insufficiency:
- Severe aortic regurgitation
- Aortic dissection.
- The patient is moribund, or the patient has severe or deteriorating damage in critical body systems.
- Patient is participating in an investigational drug or device study trial that has not reached the primary endpoint or that interferes with the current study endpoints.
- Any condition that in the judgment of the investigators would interfere with the subject's ability to provide informed consent, comply with study instructions, place the subject at increased risk, or which might confound interpretation of study results.

extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Measured: 24 hours
Secondary outcomes (3)
Device performance success
Device performance success (defined as the ability to establish either veno-arterial ECMO to support cardiorespiratory function and tissue oxygenation or veno-venous ECMO to support respiratory function and tissue oxygenation)
Measured: every 4 hours while the patient receives ECMO using the MOBYBOX device
Adverse Event rate
Acute safety defined as rates adverse events up to 24 hours post-intervention.
Measured: 24 hours
Mortality rate
All-cause mortality up to 30 days post-intervention
Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cardiac Failure and Respiratory Failure, run by Hemovent GmbH at 4 sites 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 7 inclusion and 17 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 31 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites 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 Yvonne Seibt (+49 174 1773839, yseibt@hemovent.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rates of device and procedure related serious adverse events (time frame: 24 hours). 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 31 May 2025.
