Trial summary

The key problem in the treatment of ARDS is refractory hypoxemia. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an extracorporeal oxygenation of venous blood to eliminate carbon dioxide and return to the body. It has been an important part of the rescue treatment for ARDS. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Establishment of a Early Risk Model of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation(ECMO) in Children With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in China

The key problem in the treatment of ARDS is refractory hypoxemia. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an extracorporeal oxygenation of venous blood to eliminate carbon dioxide and return to the body. It has been an important part of the rescue treatment for ARDS. This study intends to explore the timing of ECMO. The main research hypothesis is that the appropriate timing of ECMO treatment can improve the weaning success rate and survival rate of children with severe ARDS; it is expected to provide a basis for determining the best timing of ECMO treatment

Read the detailed description

Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), especially those caused by severe viral pneumonia, is still an important factor in the death of children, with a case fatality rate of 55%. The treatment includes lung protective ventilation and advanced ventilation support, but the effect is still not ideal for severe patients. ECMO can effectively support the respiratory system and provide good oxygen exchange. However, the survival rate of ECMO treatment in children with ARDS has a large bias.One of the key factors is the uneven timing of ECMO activation, which significantly affects the prognosis.This study intends to design a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized controlled trial , through retrospective research to find relevant factors affecting the prognosis of ECMO treatment, and to screen key indicators related to the timing of intervention; through a prospective cohort study to screen Good indicators and cut-off values suitable for starting ECMO , constructing and verifying comprehensive prediction models.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival rate

    The survival rate of children in 28 days after hospital discharge

    Measured: 28 days after hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ECMO weaning rate

    The success of ECMO weaning is defined as the survival of patients after ECMO weaning for 48 hours

    Measured: 48 hours after ECMO weaning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ARDS, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University at 3 sites in China.

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 12 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 7 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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?

Survival rate (time frame: 28 days after hospital discharge). 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 7 Feb 2024.
