A Clinical Study on Levosimendan Improvement of Prognosis of ARDS Patients by Optimizing Pulmonary Hemodynamics

July 11, 2019 updated by: Shenzhen Second People's Hospital
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the curative effect of Levosimendan on ARDS patients through omni-directional and multi-angle objective quantitative indexes, and to study the responsiveness of ARDS with or without right ventricular insufficiency to the treatment of Levosimendan, and to indirectly confirm whether Levosimendan had lung protective mechanism other than calcium sensitization to ARDS patients, such as inhibiting inflammatory reaction to reduce pulmonary capillary leakage and alveolar epithelial cell injury. Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle improves pulmonary ventilation function. To provide new methods and ideas for clinical treatment of ARDS.

Study Overview

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.

Detailed Description

On the basis of the above research, the investigators speculate that Levosimendan can improve cardiac function, enhance diaphragm contractility and decrease pulmonary artery through this sensitizing effect, and protect ARDS lung function by regulating the release and oxidation of inflammatory mediators and nitroso oxidative stress. The hemodynamic and pulmonary protective effects of ARDS patients were improved by regulating K-ATP channels, relieving blood vessels and bronchospasm and improving ventilation and diffusion function in ARDS patients, so as to further improve the survival rate of these patients and shorten the mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay time. The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of Levosimendan on pulmonary circulation and right ventricular function in patients with ARDS, to determine whether it can reduce the fatality rate of ARDS and shorten its ICU residence time, and to evaluate the evaluation of ARDS with or without right ventricular insufficiency and to provide a new idea and method for drug treatment of ARDS.

Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

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.
120

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.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Other: Routine treatment
Routine treatment group: control infection, remove or control the primary disease; mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume and high PEEP mechanical ventilation strategy; strictly control volume, strengthen airway management, timely nutritional support and severe rehabilitation treatment.
Drug: Levosimendan
General treatment group: control the infection, remove or control the original disease, mechanical ventilation, small tidal volume, high PEEP mechanical ventilation strategy, strictly control the capacity, strengthen the airway management, timely nutrition support and intensive rehabilitation treatment. Levosimendan group: on the basis of routine group treatment, 12.5 mg of levosimendan 5% GS 50ml was given on the same day, and the micro-pump was continuously pumped for 24 hours. The initial dose was 0.5 ml/ h, and if the blood pressure was not significantly decreased, the blood pressure was gradually increased to 2.4 ml/ h at the maximum dose, until the pump was over. The above treatment is repeated every 7 days until the offline success or the patient leaves the ICU.

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
APACHE II score
Time Frame: Admission for 24 hours
The lowest value in the first 24 hours after entering ICU. The total score is 0~71 points. The higher the score, the more serious the disease
Admission for 24 hours
SOFA score
Time Frame: Admission for 7 days
The total score is 0~48 points. The higher the score, the more serious the disease
Admission for 7 days

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.
