New study aims to shorten ventilator time for ECMO patients

NCT ID NCT06876415

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looks at whether closely tracking a patient's breathing effort can help doctors decide the best time to remove a life-support machine called ECMO in people with severe lung failure (ARDS). About 50 adults on ECMO will be randomly assigned to have their breathing monitored or not. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the total time they need a breathing tube.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 50 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients aged 18 years or older Patient whose trusted person has given consent for participation in the study * Patient on veno-venous ECMO with weaning criteria, including: * Resolution of the cause of ARDS * Absence of hemodynamic instability, defined as norepinephrine dose ≤ 0.5 μg/kg/min for at least 3 hours * Use of a ventilatory mode that allows spontaneous ventilation (VS-AI, BiPAP, or APRV) * Maximum inspiratory pressure ≤ 28 cm H2O, with a maximum driving pressure ≤ 15 cm H2O, enabling tidal volumes between 4 and 8 ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW) * ECMO membrane sweep flow ≤ 2 L/min * Patient protected by social security Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to the placement of an esophageal pressure balloon (e.g., esophageal varices, nasal trauma, uncontrolled coagulopathy, severe thrombocytopenia), * Patient with treatment limitation at the time of inclusion, * Patient in the time frame of exclusion from another research protocol at the time of consent signing, * Vulnerable patients: minor, adult patient under guardianship or curatorship, patient deprived of liberty, pregnant or breastfeeding woman.
