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   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 of this trial is to evaluate whether the maintenance of pragmatic normoxia, avoiding both hyperoxic and hypoxic phases, is feasible within the first 24 hours after trauma, as it may result in a reduction of 30-day mortality and major respiratory complications within 30 days (respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, and pneumonia). We will conduct a pilot study, where 40 patients are randomized to 24 hours of: A. Restrictive, but sufficient oxygen treatment: lowest oxygen delivery that obtains a saturation of ≥ 94% B. Liberal oxygen treatment: 15 L/min oxygen flow initially/ FiO2 ≥0.8 A. within the low limits of standard of care and does not put patients at risk of receiving worse treatment. B. as close as possible to the standard of care. As no precise guidelines on oxygen delivery for trauma patients within the first 24 hours exist, this will however inevitably vary in practice.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    As soon as the trauma team was activated a study staff member assessed the patient for inclusion. All patients where considered temporarily without the ability to consent and therefore proxy consent was sought by a trial guardian. Randomisation was then performed, and the trauma team leader was informed of the allocation and initiated treatment.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Between April 4th, 2018, and May 23rd, 2018, 146 patients were screened, and we randomly assigned 41 trauma patients to receive 24 hours of restrictive (n=21) or liberal (n=20) oxygen therapy.

    Arm title
    Restrictive oxygen
    Arm description
    The restrictive group (intervention) implied the lowest dosage of oxygen (>21%) that ensured an arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) target of 94% either using mechanical ventilation, a non-rebreather mask, a nasal cannula, or no supplementary oxygen. Supplemental oxygen was not given unless the SpO2 was below 94% and thus, only spontaneously breathing patients without supplementary oxygen could saturate above 94%. In case the SpO2 became unmeasurable, the intervention was interrupted, and standard (liberal) treatment was applied.

In case the SpO2 became unmeasurable, the intervention was interrupted, and standard (liberal) treatment was applied. The liberal group (control) was designed to mimic current practice and guidelines. 1,2 Here, non-intubated patients received 15 l/min via a non-rebreather mask and intubated patients received a FiO2 of 1.0 in the trauma bay and during intra-hospital transportation. In the operating room, ICU, post-anaesthesia care unit and ward the FiO2 could be reduced to 0.8 if an arterial oxygen saturation ≥ 98% was obtained.

    Notes
    [1] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: Single center, open-label randomized clinical trial with regards to treatment: treating staff was aware of the patient’s randomization group Primary outcome assessors were blinded to the patients’ randomization.
