About this study

Official title: Netosis in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients in Determination of Respiratory Infection Severity

The study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of alveolar and blood NETosis in patients under mechanical ventilation and treated for an acute low-respiratory tract infection. The main outcome is the occurrence of an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to the Berlin definition.

Read the detailed description

Neutrophils are the first line of defense against infectious injury. Among the numerous mechanisms involving the immune system, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been recently described as an additional way neutrophils are able to use to fight against bacteria. NETs are made of DNA and antimicrobial proteins. In the other hand, NETs promote coagulation and may contribute to evolution of severe pneumonia into acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The secondary objectives of the study include the research of the relation between blood NETosis and alveolar NETosis with:

  • the documentation of invasive pulmonary infection based on microbiological analysis criteria (which would be bacteria or viral) of LBA at admission to ICU;
  • the diagnosis value of usually used biomarkers: procalcitonin and C-reactive protein;
  • marbrure score at admission to ICU;
  • arterial lactatemia;
  • scores of gravity at admission IGSII and SOFA;
  • all-cause mortality at day-28;
  • duration of mechanical ventilation at day-28;
  • duration of amines at day-28;
  • developement of hemodynamic failure;
  • developement of pulmonary circulatory failure.

The study will include 1) 60 patients under mechanical ventilation admitted to the intensive care unit for acute respiratory failure, 2) 10 control patients admitted to the ICU after a planned vascular surgery and 3) 10 healthy subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood samplingBiological

    Blood sampling at baseline and at day-3 (10 ml, EDTA tube), test of NETs.

  • Bronchoalveolar lavageProcedure or surgery

    Bronchoalveolar lavage at admission to the ICU with analysis of cytological, bacteriological, viral and anatomopathological, and test of NETs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Infection, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 11 inclusion and 8 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 16 Mar 2023. 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.

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?

Acute respiratory distress syndrome occurrence (time frame: at day-7). 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 16 Mar 2023.
