Trial summary

The extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) has been recently proposed in case of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in order to reduce pulmonary injuries induced by the mechanical ventilation. A reducing of tidal volume and/or respiratory rate is thus expected using this extracorporeal respiratory support. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of Extracorporeal CO2 Removal in Case of Moderate to Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome to Apply an Ultraprotective Mechanical Ventilation Strategy

The extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) has been recently proposed in case of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in order to reduce pulmonary injuries induced by the mechanical ventilation. A reducing of tidal volume and/or respiratory rate is thus expected using this extracorporeal respiratory support. However, most of existing devices of ECCO2R can apply only a limited extracorporeal flow, often less than 1L/min, which limits the CO2 exchanges and does not allow to reach an ultraprotective ventilation. An extracorporeal flow higher should logically maximalize CO2 removal and allow reducing intensity of mechanical ventilation. Works focused on high-flow ECCO2R (2-3 L/min) in setting of ARDS are therefore mandatory to better understand apprehend the phenomena of gazes changes with this device and confirm the added-value in management of these specific patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective interventional study focused on a cohort population.

The included patients will be those affected by a severe ARDS (Berlin definition) requiring an aggressive mechanical ventilation and whom a high-flow ECCO2R was implemented.

The high-flow ECCO2R will be proposed in all patients with inclusions criteria with the 15 first days following their admission. The day of initiation of the high-flow ECCO2R will considered as Day 0 in our study.

A data collection will be focused on the respiratory parameters, clinical complications until ICU discharge and outcome, extracted from medical records.

The main endpoint will be the perrcentage of patients whom an ultraprotective ventilation could be applied successfully during more than 12h. Ultraprotective ventilation is defined in our work as follows: Tidal volume ≤ 3 mL/kg and respiratory rate ≤ 16/min associated with a PaCO2 ≤ 45mmHg and a PaO2 ≥ 55 mmHg.

The secondary endpoints will be durations of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and hospitalization, as well as rheological behavior of extracorporeal circulation, respiratory parameters under high-flow ECCO2R, specific complications and mortality.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. percentage of patient who obtained a safe ultraprotective ventilation

    a safe ultraprotective ventilation is defined by the four following parameters :

    1. Tidal Volume ≤ 3 mL/kg
    2. Respiratory Rate ≤ 16/min
    3. PaCO2 ≤ 45mmHg
    4. PaO2 ≥ 55 mmHg.

    Measured: 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: up to Day 30

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Measured: up to Day 30

  3. ICU length of stay

    Measured: up to Day 30

  4. Day 30 all-cause mortality

    Measured: up to Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-flow extracorporeal CO2 removal in people with Acue Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 4 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2024. 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 was stopped early (reason given: change in current practice in intensive care, few inclusions achievable). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

percentage of patient who obtained a safe ultraprotective ventilation (time frame: 12 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 13 Dec 2024.
