E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of a study which answers the question: “In adult patients with sepsis presenting to the emergency department by ambulance does delivery of high flow oxygen (hyperoxic oxygen therapy) compared to titrated (normoxic) oxygen therapy reduce mortality at 90 days”
NB. Mortality at 90 days (note: this is a feasibility study, multiple outcomes are of relevance in informing the definitive study).
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
These are feasibility focussed and include a range of outcomes, which will inform the definitive study. - Can the study procedures be implemented as planned - Recruitment rate, characteristics of patients not recruited - Drop out rate and reasons for drop out. - Data collection success / missing data - Additional currently unidentified costs - Adequacy of follow up arrangements / number of patients lost to follow up - Collect data to identify survival and quality of life differences which may inform power calculation and primary outcome for the definitive study. - Optimal hours for patient recruitment - Identification of unexpected adverse events / reactions - identify patients for patient and public involvement.
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Inclusion Criteria • Adult patients aged 18 years or above. • Diagnosed with presumed ‘Sepsis’ • Arrive at Derriford Emergency Department by ambulance. • Provision of informed consent. • Willing to allow their General Practitioner and consultant, if appropriate,to be notified of participation in the study.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Exclusion Criteria The participant may not enter the study if ANY of the following apply: • Female participants who are pregnant • Existing diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) • A primary diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis) of: o an acute cerebral vascular event o acute coronary syndrome o acute pulmonary oedema o status asthmaticus o major cardiac arrhythmia (as part of primary diagnosis) o seizure o drug overdose o injury from burn or trauma • Participants who require immediate intubation and ventilation on arrival in the Emergency Department • Participants undergoing or have undergone cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the pre-hospital phase of their treatment. • Current participation in another Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (CTIMP).

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
To assess the feasibility of a study which answers the question: “In adult patients with sepsis presenting to the emergency department by ambulance does delivery of high flow oxygen (hyperoxic oxygen therapy) compared to titrated oxygen therapy (normoxic oxygen therapy) effect mortality at 90 days”
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
90 days post admission to ED |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
These are focussed on feasibility and include a range of outcomes, which will inform the definitive study. The following will be assessed: - Can the study procedures be implemented as planned? - Recruitment rate - Acceptability of interventions - Drop-out rate (and reasons) - Data collection success / missing data - Additional currently unidentified costs - Adequacy of follow up arrangements / number of patients lost to follow up - Collect data to identify survival and quality of life differences which may inform power calculation and primary outcome for the definitive study
