Iloprost in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ThIlo)

December 8, 2021 updated by: University Hospital Tuebingen

Therapeutic Iloprost for the Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) (the ThIlo-Trial)

The patients will be randomized into one of two groups. Both groups will receive standard care as is state of the art. The intervention group will receive Iloprost nebulized as inhalative therapy.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
150

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Oxygenation Index on Day 5 of Prostacyclin Treatment measured as PaO2/FiO2
Time Frame: Day 6 of Study
partial pressure of oxygen in blood (PaO2), in millimeters of mercury divided by the fraction of oxygen in the inhaled air (FiO2)
Day 6 of Study

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival in 90-day follow-up period
Time Frame: on day 90 after randomization and study entry
90 day all cause mortality
on day 90 after randomization and study entry
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA Score)
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
The SOFA score is based on six different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological systems. Each system is assessed by 0=normal function to max 4 points=severe organ dysfunction Lowest Score is 0, the Maximums Score is 24; high Scores mean worse outcome
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Duration of Mechanical Ventilation
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Ventilation Support length
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients with the Occurence of Barotrauma
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Barotrauma is damage to body tissue secondary to pressure difference in enclosed cavities within the body.Ventilator asynchrony, acute elevation of the plateau and peak pressures above 30 cmH2O, or sudden decrease of delivered tidal volume are result of barotrauma.
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients with Pulmonary Hemorrhage
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Significant Bleeding from Lung
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients with Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Significant Bleeding from GI Tract
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients with Pulmonary Embolism
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Blockage of an artery in the lungs by a embolus that has moved from elsewhere in the body to the lung
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients with Delirium
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
An organically caused decline from a previous baseline mental functioning, that develops over a short period of time, typically hours to days. Measured as occurence and length in time.
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients with ICU Acquired Weakness
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Skeletal muscle dysfunction
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Discharge Location
Time Frame: until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Number of Patients discharged to home without additional care (self-care), home with additional care (home health care) and other care facilities such as nursing homes. Measured as % of patients discharged to either of these locations.
until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Barthel Index (BI)
Time Frame: at 6 months after study inclusion
Is a measure using an ordinal scale used to measure performance in activities of daily living (ADL). The original 10-item form of the BI consists of 10 common ADL activities including: feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toileting, chair transfer, ambulation and stair climbing. Items are rated in terms of whether individuals can perform activities independently, with some assistance, or are dependent (scored as 10, 5 or 0). Items are weighted according to the level of nursing care required.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
