Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    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).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study is approved by the MHRA and the West Midlands - Edgbaston Research Ethics Committee (NRES). Study monitoring is conducted by UHPNT and an Independent Trial Steering Committee (TSC), Trial Management Group (TMG) and Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) are set up for the study oversight.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients with sepsis arriving by ambulance to Derriford Emergency Department. Routine assessment confirms patient has possible sepsis (SIRS + presence of infection). Patient assessed for the trial eligibility. If eligible informed consent is taken. Patient randomised to receive either Hyperoxia or Normoxia.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients with baseline observations outside of the normal limits will be screened for trial participation. Screening consists of a 4 steps: Is SIRS present? Does the participant have an active or presumed Infection? Is a sepsis MIMIC more likely to be the cause of this participant’s presentation to hospital? Do any other EXCLUSION criteria exist?

    Dosage and administration details
    Oxygen will be administered using a non-re-breathe oxygen mask applied over the face and nose. The oxygen delivery device will be set to deliver oxygen at 15 litres per minute. The oxygen will be continuously delivered throughout the patients stay in the Emergency Department.

    Dosage and administration details
    Oxygen will not be administered if a patient’s oxygen saturations (as measured using a pulse oximeter) are 94%. If a patient’s oxygen saturations are less than 94%, oxygen will be ‘titrated’ using a ‘venturi’ type oxygen delivery device to achieve target saturations of 94%. Following initial dynamic titration (to identify correct oxygen delivery level) the oxygen delivery device will be re-evaluated hourly during the patient’s stay in the emergency department.

    Mortality at 90 days [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint/outcome is mortality at 90 days. This is a feasibility study, multiple outcomes are of relevance in informing 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.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: This study is a feasibility study using descriptive statistics, therefore not powered to complete inferential statistics.
